Made in USA.. sometimes

[OakLook]

I was reading the new catalog and I have just noticed that for each model the technical features are now including a MADE IN USA badge:

I am curios what will be printed in the stem of those models without that badge:

Assembled in USA may be?

Also looks like the 3 point fit only applies to some (few) models (not those ones above for instance):

As far as I was told from insiders most o-matter frames and non polarized lenses were made in the USA. Polarized lenses were made in China, Italy, France etc. Now with the shortage in the US, some frames are being made in Italy such as the gascan. I'll have to see if I still have the picture of the inside of the arm on my phone.

I just assume that if it doesn't say where it's made, it came from China

The wire frames are made in China

 

[LIAT]

it says "made in china" on the frame?

 

[TNGoldbeard]

Yes

I think those info are not consistent, for instance there's no Prizm badge under the Holbrook

Exactly. I was thinking this too because all three of those frames are 6 base but only one of them has that icon.

Are there any Oakley frames that don’t have 3 point fit? I honestly always assumed all of them did, even the Holbrooks with the curve by the ear, but that might be my mistake.
