Do You Think That Eye Jacket Style Is Reaching Retro Status Yet?

[Dennis82]

I'd love for them to rerelease some eye jackets and straight jackets from the mid 90s, the bug eyes, the wraps etc. I'm really sick of all the square plain styles now.

Usually fashion cycles take up about 30 years. So, most likely we will see this kind of style return in the coming 5-10 years. At least, that's my prediction ;-)

Eyejackets are my favorite frame and the prices have been increasing steeply on the bay latley. Hopefully this is a sign that their popularity has increased enough for Lux to take notice and do a re-release.

Did you happen to snag the good one last night? I have also noticed some price increases on ebay lately. It goes in cycles up and down.

No, I put my final bid in with two minutes left and got outbid. It would have been the most i've paid for a pair of Ejs but I wasn't going to go quite as high as they sold for. The other pair of FMJs is already outragous. Make's me consider selling a few while the market is hot, but i would just regret it later.

I would buy released eyejackets as long as we could get the zebra striped and chetah patterns

I bid on it too but with a limited budget lately I couldnt go as high as I wanted to. I most likely wouldnt have bid that much anyway but I dont remember seeing that color combo for sale in the last couple years.

That would be very cool but I don't think they made a zebra striped patern for the eyejacket. If so, then there's another one i have to get.

Yeah I remember seeing it but not being able to afford more than my Cobalt pair at the time, which i've now bought 5 times. Dan also has them referenced on the O-review but no image.

What color are we talking about?

I love old EJs, but they don't fit me. I think I'd rock the Trenchcoat, but too pricey to pick one up to try on.
