Official Fakes/Possible Fakes Inquiry Thread (ARE THESE FAKE? POST FAKES HERE)

[Oakleylover13]

@Oakleylover13 yesh I’m not where near my pairs but I’m pretty sure mine do…but looking on eBay I saw both pairs with and without. Honestly, the tell usually is checking the inner part of the hinge. They should show the letter L and a number and on the right the letter R and a number. Never seen fakes with that

Yes, I also just went through almost all the Holbrook listings on eBay, and indeed many colorways either don’t have the Made in USA marking or have it placed in different spots.
Unfortunately, these are the seller’s photos, and while we were all chatting here on the forum, he already managed to ship them. I only found out about the L and R engravings just now, so I’ll have to wait until they arrive to check if they’re there.

Overall, I’m quite satisfied, since by all other indicators these glasses look really good and seem to be authentic.

In conclusion, I just want to ask: apart from the L and R markings and the lenses (which were most likely replaced by the previous owner), these glasses match the original ones in every other detail, right?

Huge thanks to everyone for helping me determine the authenticity of these glasses, it was great to hear the experts’ opinions and just chat!
I’ll post an update as soon as they arrive Have a great evening, everyone!

Hello everyone!!! I'm new to Oakleys and LOVE the look of the katos, but they're a little beyond my price range. So, I've found a few on Ebay and wanted to get an expert opinion regarding their authenticity.

These look legit

As a matter of fact, I think the frog skins also had the L and R too

I have a pair of Frogskins Hybrid —Frogskins Hybrid Matte Black/Neon Pink / Prizm Black Iridium

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any L/R engravings anywhere near the hinges. I checked from different angles but still didn’t see anything, maybe you were referring to the classic Frogskins, not the Hybrid version. It’s possible that the Hybrid models simply don’t have those engravings.

Could you please let me know if you have a photo that could serve as an example? I searched online but couldn’t find any pictures showing the L/R engravings on Oakley frames. I’d really appreciate it if you could share a photo so I can understand exactly where to look, maybe I’m just misunderstanding their placement.

I apologize, obviously I am wrong

Seller says x-squared which is obviously wrong. How do they look though?

Sweden and Switzerland are two different places, correct? This uneducated individual that’s has been around the world twice. Spent too much time in the sandbox. But yet @Tomcat14 educated me

Hi everyone, I just bought a pair of glasses on a marketplace for €10 and I’d like to find out if they’re genuine or not. Right now, I only have two photos.

Is it possible to determine their authenticity from the pictures? I found a similar model on o-review —Radar EV Advancer Polished White / Prizm Road Black Iridium

Yeah, I’m waiting for the seller’s reply. Overall, do they look good?
