Have you bought some Oakley Sunglasses recently?
« on: March 15, 2014, 06:30:17 pm »
I know Oakley used to make all of their sunglasses in the US of A and the frames were marked stating that, however i bought some Oakley Crosshair 2 sunglasses last year whilst on holiday in Mexico (genuine Oakley store) and the frame says China.

Those who have bought Oakley sunglasses with in the last 12 months could you check your frame and let me know where yours were made.

Just checked my Oakley Buckets and they don't say where they were made, probably Timbuktu knowing my luck  :grin:

Really confused now. According to the various Oakley forums Oakley have started to make their frame in China but the frames are now labeled USA or assembled in USA instead of "made in USA" so the sunnies i have COULD be genuine. Or at least i hope so!

My Jury's don't say anything about where they were made although the "Definition Optics" bag was made in China.

Mine were bought here from an authorised dealer.
