They also have well over 100 stores nationwide(idk exactly how many--but they're everywhere) and it seems like a new one opens up every few months. I'll continue to spend my money with them. I have 2 pairs of Gascans--one that clearly read "Made in U.S.A." and one that does not. I see no difference between the two. Both are identical in aesthetics as well as quality.Although... Made in USA was kind of the Oakley signature, and somewhat justified the high prices. If you wanted made in China, there were plenty of other brands. One wonders, are they going to adjust the prices now that labour costs have gone down significantly?
Lol, has any company done that? I don't think the million dollars invested in moving production overseas were to save us money.
I'll post the Oakley infographic on this topic again.
Of course not, I was being sarcastic. There are no limits to the greed of the big corporations.

I heard that they are actually making them out of the 2008 Beijing Olympic stadium

Azeddine,
A lot of the humor this thread has generated is because Oakleys made in China is a topic that's been beat around this forum quite a bit already. Here's a post that does a great job explaining the current situation:
