Oakley Holbrook series

[crazywayne311]

Ah holbrooks…man oh man. ONLY pair I don’t own is the XXL
I have XS, regular, XLs, metal, mix, titanium…
Things to note:
Holbrook metals are awesome but VERY VERY fragile in my opinion.
XS are great but too small for me
Regulars for soooooo damn good but XLs for even better.
There are so many frames and lens combos when it comes to Holbrooks.
Ti Holbrooks are pretty neat but nothing spectacular.
I like the mix as well but it’s an acquired taste. It’s only awesome bc it take regular Holbrook lenses haha

I think I currently have 75+ pairs
Most are crammed in here haha

Still looking for Shallow water @younger06

Flipping heck, here’s me thinking about buying my first pair… keep finding ones that might or might not be fake and not just taking a shot lol

I pulled the trigger on that Matt Black Jade Fade pair this morning......and the dealer got me a fantastic price on a set of Prizm Shallow Water Polarised lenses to drop into them.

My matt black/Prizm Tungsten Polarised are arriving Monday 2nd March from Italy.

Exciting times ahead.....

Tbh I only need some frames as getting old has ruined my eyes and I’ll need prescription lenses for them.

I normally buy them from online sites where I can check their reviews.....and sometimes direct from the Oakley online store (when they are clearing out some styles at 50% discount)

I have an ongoing 35% off deal with one of the Italian online sellers.

I pretty much have it narrowed to 2 online sites.....one is in Italy and the other is in Malta.

Probably wouldn't work for you guys in the States....but I'm in Ireland, so no extra taxes or import duties to pay from European sellers.

I probably wouldn't buy from private sellers on Ebay.

In that case.....but the Holbrook RX frames........
They are much cheaper. (very, very similar in size to the standard Holbrook (9102) frame.

You will have a choice of 54mm & 56mm......make sure to go with the 56mm.

In Europe, they generally cost between €60 — €100

Edel-Optics (Germany)
EyeWearThese.com (Malta)
Giarre.com (Italy)

Sign up for the newsletters for these sites.....they regularly have very good online sales.

Giarre.com are particularly good for Maui Jim Sunglasses.
