SOLD! SOLD! SOLD!

Had this hanging in the closet for years under a plastic cover. Size is XL. Jacket is too small for me. Great looking jacket. The outer shell is made of nylon, but has a satin like sheen and feel. Guess it would be characterized as a light to medium jacket. A roughly 28 year old jacket like this has to be rare in this condition.

Jacket tag shows Made In U.S.A. by Horizon Sportswear, Inc., Madison Heights, MI. Jacket tag also shows copywrited 1981 embroidery design, which I don't doubt given the jackets decor. The right shoulder has "Flank Drive" with sockets embroidered on it. The front has an embroidered Top Fuel dragster patch, the same dragster as the old "Red Hot and Rolling" decals have, as seen on some of the older Snap-On tool boxes. The sockets, and the top most wrench head have silver metallic thread with reflective metal flakes. The Snap-On logos are embroidered red thread. Has a nifty tiny wrench for a zipper handle.

Had to look hard to find any flaws with it. Found no spots or stains. Did find a couple of tiny pinholes in the jackets back, don't hurt anything.

that's a cool looking jacket. I think I would actually wear it. I like the wrench zipper.

I prefer the newer Flank Drive Plus jackets. Flank Drive is just too old school for me. :)

not a fan of logos on clothing and only way i'll wear anything with a logo is if it's free............or they pay me to wear it.............why advertise for free for them?............i could understand if it were cheaper than nonbranded apparel but paying a premium for that stuff is beyond me............to each their own..........and yes i do cut the levi's tag off my jeans, when i buy them, on sale..............

Yeah, this jacket is nice, but do you have any of the Snap-On boxer briefs for sale?
Nothing better than Snap-On quality to carry your gear in... :lol_hitti

I can agree with you pretty much. I had my truck tailgate painted and didn't put the DODGE decal back on it. Everytime I get a different car I take those stupid dealer decals /license frames off too. Got a free Valvolene hat only because I asked for it & I wear it.

I don't cut the Levi tags off....but to each his own.

Moparhound,nice jacket though
