They are an offshoot of the main Oakley glasses that are only sold as ski shops. They are known as Stretchline glasses and were created as retro/fashion glasses by the owner of Oakley's son.

Hi Marco, you'll need to contact Oakley and they should give you info about the nearest dealer that stocks these. The Fat Cat and the Warden are 'exclusive' styles and are available to a limited number of stores, mainly skate and ski stores.

The only reason to buy these is for your collection ONLY. Not to wear. A very poor pair of Oakleys, I think.

I like my Fat Cats very much. They are a nice, different style compared to other Oakley designs. I know others on the Forum have had problems with theirs, but mine have been solid since day one. I have a smaller head, so maybe I'm not stretching the frame out as much as others.

Peripheral vision sucks because the lenses are flat (i.e. no wrap) and the earstems are thick, but that's not what they were intended for.

I happened to like my FatCats. I think they look pretty awesome. Moreso because I'm a huge fan of Blue Camo and that was the first pair with that color so I had to have them.

I loved the Blue Camo as well, but I couldn't wear the Fatcat. I just wasn't down with the style in the end.

First pair with that colour? So there's more?

Not that I know of yet, but I imagine we will see it again someday.

I hope those Green Camo Monster Dogs will come out. Even though they were a custom pair (pictured in a previous post) i'd have to say judging from reviews about night and snow camo that there would have to be demand for an alternative, such as green.
