Steven, I second that ! hahaha

hey i have these...and i thought i was special

can i say things like that on here?

So far I am having a hard time getting them, but I wont get discouraged. Now knowing that FP has endorsed these as being special, I must have them. LOL.

Just thought i ask ...Are these the Brown smoke gascans??

the gascan here is green

If what you are asking is; Are the Brown Smoke Gascans and the Heineken Green Gascans the same? then the answer is no.
The Brown Smoke Gascan started off as an Iacon Exclusive and is now OPD, and the Heineken Green Gascans were never released but were given out at the manager meeting along with the Rust Gascan.

And before it's asked, here's Rust. Only avail in teh new women's line so far.

Wrong : we have Rust Gascan in Montreal

Would you have the Parts # for it?

03-476 Gascan Rust / Brown Gradient

thanks guys for clearing that up for me...

my colour recognition is not all that gd ....couple that with what my vague memory has left of the Brown smoke Gascan that i had seen before....I just thought i checked....

cheers

Freesh/Edwin - Cool, so what do they look like in comparison to the Polished Rootbeer and Brown Smoke GC?

Rust is a bit more transparent, like Crystal Black, for instance. It's more towards 'bordeau'red.
The brown gradient is simmilar to the brown gradient in the Polished White Riddle.
Overall, I kinda like it. I have my doubts on a gradient lens in a Gascan however.

most of my male customers don't like gradient, but women seem to dig it...you dig...

But that's Helmond...

Edwin is right on the Gascan...however, I've had quite a lot of people digging the Gradient lense in them, it surprises me...guys too, not just women. I don't know I guess it's really a question of preference, some people love transparent or gradient lenses, I personally cannot stand to have glasses where people can see my eyes, just a personal opinion.

Spike Brown Gradient is more or less grown to my face at the moment. LOVE Gradient lenses at this time of the year when it's not sunny but still a little bright.

I'm beginning to really dig the gradient lens too. We bought the Brown-Gradient Spike for her, but I've been wearing it around quite a bit.

Well said Edwin, I wasnt a big fan at first but my Gradient Gascans are getting alot of use this time of year.

When I first heard the words 'Oakley' and 'Gradient' in one phrase, I though that would be so non-Oakley and stupid to do, but now......SO COOL

While I can't whole-heartedly get excxited about gradient lenses in general, I think they hold a niche within the collection. I enjoy my brown Montefrio ... the gradient lens is a bit of a cool throwback in a cool throwback frame.

The gradients definitely bring something different to the party don't they?

So, Did you eve get these Bad MF'ers?

No, still working him to get these. He also has the Gascans with the Oakley script written all over them. Trying to make a deal for the 2 of them. it has been very slow negotiations.
