Yes they are made here, but Luxoittica (I believe an Italian company) owns them now. They bought them about 4 years ago for $2.1 billion. It's the same company that owns Sunglass Hut and a bunch of other brands like Ray-Ban.

I hate when this happens, like when FIAT bought Chrysler :mad:

I've actually been to the Oakley HQ... very cool building. I was fortunate enough to be friends with someone in their pro sports promotions department years ago, landed me a lot of big clients back in the day thanks to that connection.

I have about 8 pairs of oakleys.. I can't justify getting anymore.. yet. I really want the Pit Boss ones but they think highly of those. Actually what I REALLY want from Oakley is 1 of their display cases.. I have some awesome sports memorbilia I want to put in it and I think they are awesome display cases.

In actually planning a trip to HQ in the next few weeks to get 4 prs of my oakleys repaired... Generally if you take them there they just replace them with new pairs for a minimal fee (20-40 $ depending on the model). Great customer service as well! If your old pair has been discontinued they will upgrade you for a minimal price as well.

I have a pair of prestine discontinued oakleys that I watch like a hawk. No scratches whatsoever and the painted part isn't messed up at all. They are a popular one style as well but I don't plan on selling them. I feel paranoid when I'm wearing those, moreso than my $300 pair

my first pair was a pair of Midnight Blue Half Wires.. still have them somewhere, but they are scratched and the paint as well..

 

I miss my Half Jackets, had two pairs that were both polarized.. I accidentally left them at a former co-worker/friend's house (well one pair on his kitchen table, and the other on his boat) and he never gave them back and I have never heard from him since..

 

I do still have a pair of Half Wires, gunmetal/gray frame, black lens..
