I'm past due for a new jacket and all of the "high-vis" leather jackets I'm seeing are mostly black with yellow accents. They're advertised as a yellow jacket despite being 95% black.

Example: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...leather-jacket

There are some great options for textile, and I think textile has a place, but I really want leather.

Do people mostly wear textile? Has textile jacket technology made advances that I'm not aware of? Can I/should I paint/dye a jacket yellow? Is my desire for bright yellow not as important as I thought?
