I haven't seen fakes on first gen Straight jackets in a long time.

Well, one thing that stands out that helps the claim of them real is that on the bottom corner of the left lens on these has the 'Polarized' etching on them. Now whether this has been reproduced on previous fakes I am not as sure as most of the folks here are. Do they claim them as the customized or stock?

Saying polarized gascans stock, I bought both (good deal) and the seller said the he would accept returns if I am not satisfied, I wanted to get more opinions on them. Everything I looked at online and the pics matched but I just wanted more proof on my side

Well, at least they're not claiming them to be Oakleys. However, those having a camera on them is actually kinda cool, but not $200 cool.

@ itsjustme:
One way that I have found out from a friend of mine to determine whether the polarized lenses are real or fake was to place one pair of glasses behind the other, look into them and turn one of the either clockwise or counter clockwise and see if the lenses provide a crosshatch on the lenses. If they do, then they are real. It's hard to explain, but maybe I can find a video on it.

There are several polarized tests.

But yes, two polarized filters oriented 90 degrees from each other will block out all light.

Many car windshields and windows will appear a different color or have some of the layering visible with polarized lenses.

LCD screens will appear discolored or rainbow, and will black out if the polarized glasses are turned at a certain angle. This includes a lot of car information displays.

Oakley makes signs and displays that are only visible when wearing polarized lenses, for a quick demo in stores.

X-metal experts:
This box looks fishy. Says Ice iridium, he says they are gold iridium.
Is there enough here to tell if fake?

Can anyone say for certain if these Romeo 1s on ebay are fakies? I am suspicious because of the colorway and bent temple ends.
