So here’s a question. How long did Oakley use this for Made in USA after stopping the molded text before going to the USA Made logo? My later Holbrooks had no reference to Made in USA and I will say probably due to the matte texture, these ones feel higher quality to me. Seems like it’s getting harder and harder to find USA made Oakleys. I assume the reason for the print is so they can use the same base mold in more that one factory instead of completely retooling just for US manufacturing.
Its only going to continue to be harder seeing as production has been moved overseas a while ago, it's been covered a number of times regarding various models including the brooks.
As far as I know they never just printed it, it was always embossed into the frame... seeing that photo has me leaning heavily to them being fake.

Oakley Product Origins
This has been an issue that has been addressed a lot lately so I figured I would make a thread for some clarification. Last year Oakley started labeling their wire frames as "Made in China." According to an employee I spoke to, the frames were being made there for awhile but it was labeled as...www.oakleyforum.com

I received my green faded frogskins prizim in the mail today. Opened the box and inspected the quality, everything look legit. The prizim is etched where it should be top right, the prizm sticker with high quality hologram on left side pilled out nicely without leaving any residue and...
Oakleys Made In USA
Can we start a list of glasses still being made in the USA? I'll update this post to create a list.
As far as I know they never just printed it, it was always embossed into the frame... seeing that photo has me leaning heavily to them being fake.
Originally they were embossed Made In USA, later the arms were left blank (or made in china) now you may see on newer model a red badge set into the temple with USA Made or USA Assembled in white text.
Look over this post, it will likely make it a bit clearer but to me those look fake... The arm looks shorter than normal, the written vs embossed text seems iffy.. Is there an embossed 'O' in the temple tip? How to Spot Fake Oakley Holbrooks
www.revantoptics.com They’re from a known seller. I’ve had them a couple years now. Os in the temples. I don’t have a picture off hand of those but I do have these pictures as well from the same pair. If they are fake they feel nicer than the other later pairs of Holbrooks I’ve owned. Lenses are Chrome Iridium polarized. I swapped out the warm grey lenses for them.
Added the temple tip pic.

Liar. I know you wear Enduros and sing alone in the dark when nobody is looking
