other dog Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Saw another of our drivers at the shop yesterday. He had mentioned to me before that he had a Mack jacket that I might want. I didn't know if he was going to give it to me,wanted to sell it,or what the deal was. His son had given it to him,and Mack had given it to his son because he used to be a Mack salesman. Anyway,he said he'd had it a year or two but had never worn it and probably never would. He got it out of his truck and said "make me an offer".I said "I cain't,that's a nice jacket and I might make too low an offer and offend you-might be worth 2 or 3 hundred dollars,and I ain't got that kind of money".So he said "how about 25 dollars?""Deal!"I still owe him 5 on it,but I think I did very well. It's 100% leather,with "MACK" embossed on it and bulldogs in the lining and on the zipper thingamabob.All I need now is a big black and chrome Yamaha.

Speed Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm assuming those jackets are no longer being sold;if or someone still carries 'em,I'll have to work towards getting one. Very good looking jacket!

vision386 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Back in 2006 i got to go to the mid-america truckshow in louisville,KY i signed up to play the "mack challenge" a game (kinda' like jeopardy) where you answer trivia questions about macks history,sports, current events etc. it was down to me and one other guy, we were playing for this very same jacket! the other guy had answered a question a little faster than me, so he got to pick the final catagory, he of course picked sports, which i know little to nothing about! how the hell was a supposed to know muhamid ali was from louisville!??? so long story short he won the jacket, i got a "granite" paperweight for my desk, best thing about the whole deal was they had a "spokesmodel" showing the prizes, modeling the clothes she had THE nicest "heiney" i think i have ever seen! if you look close, you will see what im talking about! (right side of the picture,under the mack challenge sign) black hair, blue jeans!...............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

If I buy a regular jacket large enough to have sleeves that cover my wrists, it'll wrap around me twice. If I buy one that fits my torso, the sleeves end at my wrist if I raise my arms.
