Default Custom Crossfire Jacket

So I went to the mall with my wife on Sunday.
I remember a post I read here earlier about a clothing/apparel store called "Steve and Barry's. So I look them up and sure as hell they have a store at the mall by my house. So while my wife is shopping elsewhere in the mall I go down to Steve and Barry's to see what I can find. When I get to the store I see a big sign at the doorway that says "Everything in the store $8.98 "
Well now I know I am gonna buy something here before I leave. I browse the store and find nothing with "Crossfire" on it.
Then I find these decent quality navy blue medium weight jackets with the Chrysler logo on the front and back.
So for $8.98 I buy one.

Then as we are walking through the mall I pass by a small hat vendor with a high tech embroidering machine. The sign on it says:
"Embroidering Academy" A very cute young lady named Miray is working there and I ask her if she can embroider a jacket and she says sure, what ya have in mind?

I tell her I want "CROSSFIRE" on the front. I ask her if I provide a logo from the Internet if she can duplicate it on my jacket.
She says sure. I used her PC and logged into the forum and went directly to my photo gallery and pulled up the
"CROSSFIRE COUPE LOGO" She saved it to her computer and then set up the embroidering machine using white satin thread and sent the image from her PC to the machine.
She then placed the jacket in a special insert and 10 minutes later I had the official logo on my $8.98 jacket.
The embroidering cost was $35.00 but worth it to me for a custom logo.

I have attached some photos of the finished product and my thanks to Miray for her time and kindness. Gary

PS....Miray has joined our forum with the screen name "embroidery academy" I told her she needs a Crossfire.

I've had one of those jackets for a few years and would love to have the Crossfire logo embroidered on it! I'll have to check the local malls and see if someone has a similar service out here. Very cool, thanks for sharing that!!

Gary, great jacket, I was the one that poster the Steve and Barry's stuff. I had the SRT 6 logo embroided on the back right under the Chrysler logo. I like the Crossfire logo and will find out what it cost to get it on mine. Thanks

Look at the post for Crossfire Jackets and you will see the back of mine with the SRT logo.

I've been thinking of taking one of my jackets and have it embroidered with the C-R-O-S-S-F-I-R-E- and the XFi logos only.

I have received several PM's asking me about getting one of these coats and having them embroidered then shipped.
The store by me has limited availability so may I suggest you check the website below for a store in your area.
If you want a jacket exactly like this one (without the Crossfire logo) look for the nearest Steve and Barry's store location to you. You can then find a embroiderer that has digital imaging capability. It was $35.00 to embroider this coat.
The coat was only $8.98 with the Chrysler logos already on it. I just added the Crossfire logo
