Why is it I have yet to see the Wardens advertised on the Oakley website? Am I just not looking closely enough?

Maybe because it's part of the Stretchline series of glasses, and perhaps that lineup may be marketed in-stores exclusively. I've never seen the Fatcats on Oakley.com either, although I wouldn't be surprised if you called Oakley USA (or Oakley Canada, or Oakley Australia, etc) and gave them the parts #, they'll have some in stock and ready to ship.

yeah you can order them from oakley but you cant see them online cos they are stretchline which is only available to surf/skate stores and places like that.

Besides Warden and Fat Cat, what other models are out there, but not on the website?

There's probably a whole bunch of them, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head for now is the Carbon/24k Juliet, the Japan exclusive Half Jackets (and other exclusives), and the travelling O Store exclusives (though what those models are I have no idea). Don't recall seeing the polished/G30 Juliet on there as well.

I had thought the Warden and Fat Cat were supposed to be merged into the regular product line late last year, or at least available online and in more stores. I also thought we were supposed to see something with certain Stretchline products crossing over with regular products and vice versa. Or was that how we got the Whiskey Monster Dog and the earstem change on the Warden?

Yes, Warden and Fat Cat will probably never show up on O.com. The Stretchline was originally intended to be exclusive to core surf/skate shops. Now, they are available at better OPD's and on-line retailers. Availability is still more limited than typical, however.

Many specific color combinations never make to O.com, either. I can't figure out why, but for some reason they just never show up. Some recent examples include Raw/Ice Hatchet, Rootbeer/Gold Unknown, and the ones mentioned in the previous posts.

Polished/G30 Juliets actually were on O.com a long time ago when they were still in production, like the Polished/Blue, TiO2/VR28 Black, and Ti/Gold. Once they stopped producing them, they disappeared.
