I work at Oakley so I know where the stuff is made.

You must work in the parking lot, because you've been proved wrong a few times. Now I'd love for you to be right, but seems the proof is in the pudding.

I've never been proven wrong. There are a lot of clueless people out there. I've been trying to set them straight for awhile.

Name 5 frames that you believe to be made in the US. I'll e-mail Oakley about it, and I'll come back to this thread when I get a response from them.

Look at his post history, he's convinced that all Oakleys are still made in the US. I haven't seen the new Valve in stores yet, but I'd bet a lot of money that they're made in China like all of the other O-Matter and Acetate these days.

Just an FYI, acetate frames were never made in the US.

Please explain to us minions Oakley's decision to remove "MADE IN USA" from its frames if they are still made in SoCal...

Hey Playmaker, I went to the store today and took pics of some of the eyewear boxes. You may or may not be shocked but this proves what I was saying before.

Jupiter Carbon

Style Switch

Newly packaged Fuel Cell

So there you have it. I don't know how much more proof you need than that.

And then there's this post...

Thanks, I didn't know that. Were they always made in China, or Italy & Japan? I guess it would depend on the frame.

Yes.

Someone is going to need some aloe for that burn!!!

I'm not going to explain the reasoning. If you go back to the Jupiter carbon post you will see I stated they were made in China.
