are you sure it shouldn't be ¿Para qué se lo da la chaqueta? or something like that? - Kiwi-Girl, Oct 4, 2010
what would that mean? - ckmyway, Oct 4, 2010
I just thought someone might be trying to say 'why are you giving him/her the jacket? Although if I was saying that in Spanish I would probably say ¿Por qué le das la chaqueta? - Kiwi-Girl, Oct 4, 2010
or le da (for usted) :) - Kiwi-Girl, Oct 4, 2010

In Mexico "chaqueta" is slang that is not used in polite company. To phrase it in a way that is socially acceptable, I am suggesting that this expression means "to turn someone on". However, with no context it is impossible to tell.

In Spanish does not seem to have too much meaning either. I don't know if the expression "dar la chaqueta" means something, I have never heard it.
