    ****OFFICIAL 2020 COLLEGE FOOTBALL THREAD****

    For Oaks, have a happy 2/26 Day or Tua and 26 Day as we call it. Here in BAMA, some refer to it as Rent Free Georgia Day. Seriously, congrats on hiring Scott Cochran. I was kind of surprised he didn't go with Kirby when he left. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0"...

    Oakley Vault closed for good?

    Unfortunately, the deals on Oakley.com today are sparse and not overly exciting. I fear it's probably SOP from now on. RTR

    Your First Pair

    1989-1990ish, Black/Grey Blades. I got to swap out the broken frame a few times back when the HQ was at 10 Holland Dr in Irvine. I eventually got a Red Iridium replacement lens. I still have both lenses and at least half the frame. I soon bought a Carbon Fiber/Black Iridium Razor Blade. I...

    Flak Jacket Fix

    Welcome to the SEC Mizztyler91. Oakleys are usually well repesented at the 1130 game. You tell that PAC 12 troublemaker that you're SEC now and he should go wax his surfboard and let you concentrate on football (and fixing your Oaks). :-) In all seriousness, with a little luck our SoCal...

    EBay Rant

    I'm another one that will put out the max bid early to see what happens. It's sort of like fishing, you never know what you'll catch. OTOH, if it's something I really want, I'll snipe at the end.

    Wire And Acetate Frames - Now Stamped Made In China

    For the $$$ they cost, Oaks should still be made in the USA. Looking forward to the reduction in the MSRP.

    Traveling With An OTT.... Take A Look

    Some TSA agent in Monroe is going to have some wicked shades. If I were a TSA agent, those would look very suspicious to me and have to be confiscated. :-)

    Oakley Forum Awards Part 5: Best Oakley Flagship Model THE FINAL POLL, TWO DAYS ONLY

    You have to be an Oakley aficionado to recognize most of those Most people not into Oakleys couldn't ID which company made those from across a large room. Those same people would call any Blade/Razor/M-frame or similar looking knockoff an Oakley from 50 yards away. The single lens wraparound...

    $29 Oakleys? You Betcha!

    I'd buy some of the Blades ripoffs if I knew my old Blades and Razor Blade lenses would fit in the frame. Shame having several of those old lenses laying around doing nothing.
