Having 5 or 6 pairs isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for the quality of Oakleys. What keeps happening to them?

In this very thread there will be people posting pictures of $150+ sunglasses and saying they're classic or stylish will lose their mind when someone spends $200+ on an ice chest.


I wear my sunglasses every day...much better spent money IMO. But I don't care if you buy an overpriced cooler either

Oakley is not trashy until they turn white. At this point they have exceeded the threshold for acceptance as not trashy.

Yeah that is my point. I broke down and bought a pair of Wiley X sunglasses that were roughly $150 a few years ago because I got tired of buying glasses for $25 and not giving a shite and losing them. The same with ice chests. I still have my expensive glasses and I still have a sparkling new expensive ice chest. I'm convinced I'm already ahead in the money department as a result.

The other point is that the markup on sunglasses is astronomical and we can quickly turn this thread into a bashing of the monopoly that is Luxottica.

I bought a pair of Oakley's and Revo from the Sunglass Hut at Tanger. Paid 70 a pair which was expensive, but 2 years later I still have both. I say it is a small miracle they lasted.

Usually a 10 dollar pair last me a month before broken or lost.

A thief deserves them. Karma.

Fold-up Wayfarers, FTW.

People really? Oakleys?

I have a pair of black Frogskins sitting on my desk right now and they're fantastic. Have a pair of M Frames that I use in the military and to go to the range with.

I feel its almost a good thing to pay a lot for sunglasses since it'll make you value them more and not lose them. Losing sunglasses is as easy as losing socks

Yeah, a cheap pair I would leave on the bar or a table occasionally and not realize it till I was in the car or home. Especially if when I left it was dark and I didn't need them anymore.

Does wearing them with a strap like this make it more trashy/douchy?
