Holbrook XL's Made in Brazil?

[MrChill719]

Hi everyone so I purchased a pair of Oakley Holbrook XL's Prizm sapphire polarized from Amazon That I received yesterday they looked pretty decent other than the made-in Brazil badge on the glasses? I attached a photo. Are these fakes? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU

Got any other pictures?

Far as I can tell there's no *-2159 Holbrook XL on the o-review site : Holbrook XL

And the "Assembled in USA" is on the opposite ear stem of my Holbrook XL. It just has the "HOLBROOK" imprint shortly after the SKU

I've also never seen anything other than "Made in USA", "Assembled In USA" and "China" (on the newer metal frames) on the Oakley, but I'm not an expert.

New glasses are also being produced in Brazil. Those are real

O review isn’t always updated with colors, most colors make it there but some don’t, it’s an older color

Good to know and hence why asking for other pictures since can't always tell just from a shot of the sku alone.

I got a new pair of Sylas last week directly from Oakley. The left arm has the same words as your Holbrook XL. Looks legit to me.

so... my thoughts on this...

if a faker is going to, well, fake, I dont think they are going to admit where they are making them. I mean they are lying about the whole thing already, why tell the truth and print out 3 extra letters?
