Hi all, I have a few excellent condition classic jackets for sale that I'd like to clear out of the closet and would rather offer them to collectors rather then put on eBay. Non-smoking household, very little (if any!) wear and tear and well taken care of. Prices as listed. Items will be shipped...

#395 reporting for duty.

I think you might have meant the X-Man at The X-MAN Custom Metalworks (though I did have a pair of Juliet's fixed up by him many years ago...) And to the OP, yes Juliet's are quite valuable and generally worth keeping in good shape.

Goo Gone was one of my thoughts, I will definitely give that a try. I wasn't sure what was underneath that rubber material, great to know it's decent looking plastic! Much appreciated feedback!

While moving things in my display around today I noted that the black rubberized box for the minute machine is kind of disintegrating... the rubber surface is sticky and when I picked it up, my thumbprint visibly embedded in the surface. Has anyone run into this? I imagine that the rubber is...

Hi all, I’ve been collecting O stuff since the early 90’s and have a few excellent-condition preowned items from a ways back that I don’t really need and would love to give a new home. I can ship anywhere, US or International. Shipping costs calculated after item price agreed upon. For the...

3D printed titanium you say? Cool, that’s how they make rocket engines these days. 😆 That price though, ouch. I will just be content with my original Jordan pair and hope this means that we can source a replacement lens somehow.

Here's a few pics. I went with a dark gray cerakote and translucent acid green type of color for the clear plastic parts. The cerakote looks like a slightly more rough version of the classic xmetal finish. The finish is very even and consistent and overall looks pretty darn nice in person...

There is hope ya'll! After a sternly worded letter (send in the actual mail) I finally did get movement on my glasses, a shipping notification was generated and about 3 weeks later the item actually came through. The glasses did come out very nice, there are no flaws that I can see and the color...

Well if that's true, it shouldn't be hard for them to find him.

I'm going on a year for a job I wanted him to do. He was very responsive at the start and then completely stopped responding. At this point, I'm considering it theft and I am mailing a hard copy letter to his address requesting my glasses back (finished or not). If I don't hear a response, I'll...

This thread here is what makes Oakley collecting so very fun. That a sunglasses design can inspire people to try crazy things on their own is just wonderful and speaks to the vision that Oakley had back then. Great stuff!

Picked up a pair of the all black today that my local manager set aside. I love em, though I would not have paid full price for them. I think they are about $300-350 glasses, not nearly $600. They fit me great though and I love the little design details (like the cool nose bridge pads). I...

When Vicious Obsessions Collide Seeing as how I tried this by hand almost ten years ago, let me be first in line to buy a pair made in a mold. :D I so wanted to do it your way but didn't have to tools or skill so I did it by hand. Your copy looks incredible and if you do want to sell a pair...

I was talking to my friend (manager of an Oakley store) and she doesn't have one but described how locked down they are. I checked eBay today and there are a suspicious number of employee dog tags on there, leading me to think this has been counterfeit copied at this point. I'd love one for the...
