Hello people
Recently I've been doing research about putting custom lenses into my gen 2 racing jackets. Don't have to mention that of course the whole issue seems to be doomed. Anyway I've spoken to few opticians and all of them while we were talking said that "they would have to send my frame and lens to company that makes lens for Oakley". One of those guys even disclosed Shamir (or close to it) as THE company. My question is what's the deal with that outside manufacturing? Everybody seem to have inside info about external subcontractors and also have that annoying mocking face expression when Oakley name drops into the conversation.
There are tons of videos and info about Oakley's facility in CA and their manufacturing process and after listening to those wise guys I don't know if all the manufacturing PR is a BS or what? I would appreciate if anyone could enlighten me.
