Sunglass Shack
Oakley Enthusiast
Not much to say since everyone here knows it's already coming out. No specific date but the rep gets to carry around this nice laminated binder with all these shiny things in it to look at. There were 2 pages dedicated to the Fallout Collection that looked very cool. Something different but very cool looking, I'm pretty stoked for them to release.
He also told the back story about the closing of the X-Metal plant. Oakley bought an old golf club titanium plant in Nevada and recently the company felt it wasn't profitable to continue because of the expense of the separate plant and staff there so they sold it. So his take on it too is that the company is going to be doing more things with carbon fiber and different materials like sheet metal, etc. Like with the Tincan and Tinfoil. I would say don't be afraid to try on that Tincan, I didn't think I'd like it from pics but the new Tincan and Taper are my 2 new favorite metal pairs, I love the Tincan. I need to get the Ferrari one now!!! =)
