I should Work at Oakley
Kind of inspired by @glock24shooter 's thread, what got you started?
When I was overseas as a kid, I had a chance to hang out with a friend of mine from the States (knew him since preschool). We were going through Chinese street markets, and I remember him getting super excited about bootleg Oakleys. At the time I didn't know what the big deal was, but I thought they looked cool.
Fell out of touch with him, but I still saw Oakleys around every now and then. This year COVID hit and Oakley had a major sale. I bought one, loved the lens, then started buying more. And more.
... And more. Then I went a little expensive and bought a racing jacket since I heard they were rare. Then I began looking into X-Metals, and I went overboard from there.
Side note, last year I got back in touch with my friend thanks to Facebook, just messaging back and forth. Since we were kids he's gone on to be a police officer, recently got into SWAT and started a family. I got a chance to visit him for the first time in a while a few weeks ago, and I gave him a gift -- A pair of Oakleys.
