There have been a lot of threads lately about what your favorite Oakley's are, or what pair you wear best. Just wondering when you hear "Oakley", what immediately comes to mind? I'm not talking the most innovative, or most expensive, just what frame pops in your head.
For example, I grew up in the 80's and 90's. In 7th grade I was first introduced to the company Oakley by the Original Eye Jacket. Whenever anyone used the term Oakley, the Eye Jacket was all I knew about. In fact it wasn't until a couple years later when I saw some A-wires and then XX Twenty's that I realized Oakley made more than just Eye Jackets. So for me, Oakley brings forth images of the Eye Jacket, specifically a "Texas Tea" colorway with gold iridium, the pair I saved all my allowence and mowing money for that summer, and my first step into this wonderful addiction. I'm not saying that Eye Jackets are my favorite or even look the best on me. I have a love affair with metals and elites, but the Eye Jacket will always hold a special place for me as my quintessential Oakley.
What frame does it for you?
