Check this out: on a tip from Zannestar, Turn Signal Jackets.
With a full tutorial on Flickr. The jackets are made by Shih Chien University fashion students with the direction of Leah Buechley and use the LilyPad, a sewable set of electronic components.
Hooray for interactive, innovative fashion. Just think about what you could do with this tech. Sewn into panniers, for example.

ok yes, that is pretty cool
I’m less interested in a jacket than a messenger bag with this functionality.
