Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted December 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2020 Who remembers iron on transfers that we would iron onto T shirts back in the 70's and 80's My brother sent me this today Thats his T shirt that his wife saved from the rag bag many many years ago and had just had it framed for him How good were those days, life was so much simpler back then Looks like a Australian coolpower and its pulling a van which back in those days in Australia was extremely rare as every trailer was a flat top with tarps and just the front hurdle Then as years passed the rear hurdle was added and finally gates under the tarps up each side before taught liners came about and almost super seeded flat tops over night I think I just got my self side tracked then, most old age setting in lol Paul 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65322-iron-on-transfers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I had a sweater with a beautiful Cruiseliner put on it when I was a kid. From one of those many tee-shirt shops that used to be around back in the day where they had hundreds of pics to choose from. But I wore that one out. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65322-iron-on-transfers/#findComment-465770 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in a town of maybe 100 a people (grew up 3 mile out of town on a farm) and once or twice a year we would go to Colac our next biggest town during school holidays and it was around 10,000 people I remember when my brother and I got a T shirt, the one shown was his and I got a SAR Kenworth on mine The shop was the sporting goods shop and as you described had 100's of iron on transfers I remember I had no idea what was going and Mum getting frustrated as I dicked around, didn't know about transfers at the time It was pretty special to me, yeah I know it's lame by todays standards but they were great old days, I have a feeling mine lost its sleeves when tried to be even cooler one summer Far more fun than today's kids, dragster push bike, a bag full of lollies 5 cents worth (we got the 5 cents for riding the 3 mile to town to get tge Saturday Age paper for Dad), a cool T shirt, shorts and thongs (flip flops I think you blokes call them) Had the tranny (transistor radio) going pumping out some cool tunes What a life Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65322-iron-on-transfers/#findComment-465784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I also remember those iron transferred T-shorts. But here they showed up later, actually in late 80's when Perestroyka took its time and new public oriented technologies flooded the empty market. Personally i don't remember the transfers you could buy. Usually it was a shop you choose a pic and get it on a white T-short. Definitely none of Mack pics ever showed up so i had to satisfy myself with DB5 Aston Martin print. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65322-iron-on-transfers/#findComment-465793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have a group photo where I was dressed in the T-shirt. But it was printed on paper and the closest place I remember seeing it last time was on a wall in my friend's apartment in Dusseldorf Germany 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65322-iron-on-transfers/#findComment-465795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post alex g Posted December 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2020 I'm 45 years old and apparently I wore this as a baby and somewhere I should have a pic of my daughter wearing it. I can't believe my mother hung on to this but I'm glad she did 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65322-iron-on-transfers/#findComment-465796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 i still have the iron on transfer with the COE mack . never put it on a shirt. big question is where is it. move from CT to TN and now back again; so much stuff got miss placed. will keep on eye out for it . have been going through boxes lately ; not much else to do in new england. too cold for yard work and virus has everyone on "lock down" . back to building truck models. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65322-iron-on-transfers/#findComment-466896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
