BT (British Telecom) yellow long sleeved fluorescent vest.

Note the logo to rear. This version dates from 2003 - 2019:

In April 2003, BT decided to replace the "piper" with a new, more modern logo referred to as the "connected world" as well as making the text slightly darker. It was designed by Wolff Olins and was subsequently used by OpenWorld (BT's internet division before being adopted by the whole company).

The logo was designed to embody BT's five corporate values:
   trustworthy
   helpful
   inspiring
   straightforward
   heart

This yellow gilet is unused, still in original delivery packaging complete with 'user information sheet' and suppliers Dispatch Note.

Thanks.  :)

As I search the garages and attics a few odd 'go withs' are appearing, and these fluorescent vests are amongst them.

This next fluorescent vest (images below) has seen some work with British Telecom. That's genuine decades old BT Phone grime.  ;D

The logo design dates from 1981 to 1991. This particular vest from about 1984 (20 years older than the one shown above which is dated 2004), with 'adjustment poppers' down each side to alter the fit.
