New Straight Jacket vs XX

[Inkkoonce]

Hey OF. Now that I finally got around to owning both the New Straight Jacket and a XX I was wondering which one you like best and why! It’s been hard for me to tell them apart when looking at pictures and now that I own them I can see they are almost identical with minimal differences. Not sure which one I like best. But why are they so similar?
Just wanting to hear some of your thoughts

I think the NSJ has a “ sportier “ appearance with it’s slightly wrapped stying.

I have several of both and they are excellent frames.

I agree, it’s a tough choice selecting one as a superior design over the other.

Not sure if new straight jacket is the same as straight jacket 2..... but this one here is straight jacket 2, and it's one of the best Oakley models ever, it just defines what Oakley is/was all about, from 100 feet away you could just tell, "yeah, that right there is an Oakley sunglass"

Here’s a picture for comparison. Nose bombs on the Twentys but not on the NSJ

thanks for the photos. well, i can't really say which is better looking.
the silver one could be a men's sunglass, and the one with the clear frame would be perfect for a female, or just someone with a smaller head.

They fit the same. The frame is just a tad bit skinnier.
