Yeah... many of us have drooled over this stuff for a while now. Unfortunately, it's prohibitivly expensive. Apparently the fabric is made of fiberoptics that have been woven and then "sanded" to allow light to escape from multiple areas along the line. With a bit of experimentation, we could probably build a rough version of this stuff. Then again, the parts and the effort might just justify the high (but still prohibitive) cost. Just my 2 cents.

JB the leader of the Bollywood boys had a jacket made of this stuff and wore it the Flambe Lounge at the Crucible. Formidable....

Yes, JB has had that since '03, the Bollywood year....pictures of it in action can be found if you poke around on their website, I think if you go to Bollywood, Welcome to Bollywood, Costumes, it should get you there. nothing short of amazing.

Biological Jewelry
There is a huge academic community out there creating interactive clothing. The Future, hope.... they are making biological jewelry...
Fabric that emits sounds
Fabric to encourage you to touch each other

There is amazing stuff out there..... The Closer projects' goals are to create wearable interactive art which reinforces values of kindness, fun and play through the action of positive touch. Closers goals are manifested in two technological garments, which inspire playful real-time real-space contact to accentuate the nature of positive touch experiences.
