No, it's deadly serious. Features include:

Two loose nail pockets, can be placed in the front bellow pockets
Two back pockets with bellows
Rule pocket with pen pocket and knife-holder

Leg pocket with telephone pocket
Certified according to EU standard EN 471 cl 2, high-visibility warning clothing

It's not that he fancies wearing one, you understand. But, like Radio 3, it's just comforting to know it's there.

But you can be confident that soon enough he'll be rather sarcastic.
