Anyone know why the new Racing Jackets never hit stores?

I've been wondering that myself. My local vault keeps telling me "they're coming, they're coming", but so far nothing yet. They can't even tell me when they might show, if they show at all. Curious.

Looks very much inspired by the Jawbreaker.

Err, isn't that why they have the D class of patents, to cover design aesthetics. Seems awfully close.

There're some out there I have no idea how they get away with it. The most prominent is the Bell and Howell Tac Glasses. i.e. Radar. I see the commercial for it daily. But then again, I am not all that knowledgable about patent and trademark law.:

That Speedtrap is definitely a "three-way" all right ... looks like a three-way between a Jawbreaker, a Wind Jacket 2.0 and a Canteen 1.0.

Not to mention the base price isn't that far off from the actual Jawbreaker. The usual motivation to rip off Oakley design is to offer the "comparable" model at a much lower price. While I don't entertain that option, at least I understand it from a consumer perspective, where one thinks they are getting a better value for their money. Here though, the only real selling point would be it isn't an Oakley branded frame, and that's pretty much it.

So one of the big news from last year was Larry Leight (founder of Oliver Peoples) teaming with his son Garrett Leight to create a new brand, Mr. Leight. With the exception of the arms on a couple pairs, it's pretty much the same non-inspired designs that's been pumped through the Garrett Leight brand over the last few years:

I will have to take a look at the Tavat Kafee Racer when it comes out in a month or so. So wonderfully cool like their SoupCan model:

https://www.acquiremag.com/style/tavat-kafee-racer

Tavat is tipping its hat to one of its founding designers, Norman Schureman, who is a former professor at the Pasadena Art Center College of Design. Recently, the company held a 'Design Flash,' where students worked with industry professionals to get a crash course in eyewear 101. The students also got their hands dirty, learning how to make frames of their own, the class was then challenged to create Tavat frames of their own.

This resulted in one stand-out piece from designer, Miguel Harry, who created the “Kafée Racer,” a bold and angular aviator inspired by café racing. The frame echoes the aesthetics of café racing with a lightweight and functional design that's wrapped in lightweight titanium and acetate.

Kafée Racer will be available this April.
