Fakes. Correct? Don't see Plate inscribed on the lense and the "plates" look less defined. The Oakely written on the bridge I haven't seen either.

I'm no expert. Help me out. I want some Plates bad. Not fakes.

Hi,

I recently purchased a pair of Oakley Holbrook's from Amazon but i've decided to return them straight back as i'm not sure if they are genuine or not.

The plastic feels really cheap compared to my Frogskins, the finish is really bad on the plastic moulding also - there are ridge marks all the way around the frames and lens (from plastic moulding) - all other Oakleys i've ever owned do not have this and the molding is smooth.

Can anyone give me an opinion on these based on the pics below?

I don't think I've ever seen a pair of knock-off Mag M Frames:

Opinions? Sure
If you bought these from Amazon- and I mean Amazon and not a third party reseller- then I would say that they are 100% legit.
a.) Amazon is really, really hard for a vendor to get into
b.) Amazon is not going to risk the corporate relationship with Lux by partnering with counterfeiter
c.) As much talk of production switching to China as there has been on this forum it's very possible that the QC (or lack of it) is a result of that. Not China-bashing, just offering this as an explanation for changes in manufacturing finishing and QC.

Hello I need some help from the experts. There was a truck driver that came in my work yesterday and needed some cash. He wanted 20 dollars for this pair of Straight Jackets and I jumped on it. Lenses and frames look great.
But after looking at some pictures on eBay I am wondering if I wasted my 20 dollars and bought a fake.
I am most concerned about that fact it says Oakley on the nose bridge. I don't think most do from pictures I have seen. I know nothing about Straight Jackets. Other than that they look great but I'm worried about deals to good to be true. Thanks guys!
