Managed to snag a pair of Half Jacket 2.0 but noticed that the Oakley wording is not across the nose bridge. I believe they were custom built and I thought I remember reading that custom ones don't have it - is that correct?

Thanks very much,

I don't think that's the case. I've seen pairs coming out of OCP that have the stretch logo on the bridge, but there are some pairs that do not have the logo as well. Off the top of my head, I remember seeing Polished Black frames (from MPH and OCP...no parts number on the frame) and Matte Black (from SI) that do not have the logo. Does your frame have a parts number on it?

Thanks for the reply and details - much appreciated. Not that I can see but I think I have to slide the ear socks off correct?

No, it should be full visible on the left earstem. If it's not readily apparently, you probably don't have a parts number, so it likely came from OCP or MPH.

Cool - will double check tonight but don't think there is one on there.
Appreciate all the help again.

does anyone happen to know if Oakley belt buckles work on non Oakley belts as ive just got a few of the belt buckles and wondering which kind of belt I need to get to fit them.

thanks in advance

Hey
I have a few of the buckles also and I have looked for belts to fit. The belt has to be thin. The ones at the stores are just a little too thick for the clamp to lock. you can get the belts online or at the stores without buckles though.

Good luck

Does anyone remember the names of these early display cabinets? I'm not showing the largest one

I think you can make up the name since you are the only one who has them it seems

I was searching but I can't seem to find the Home Office in the database - is is not listed?

Congrats! The Home Office is an amazing bag and a fantastic gift.

Yeah, been eyeing it for a while - not saying I dropped hints - okay, I found my sticky note and F&F coupon missing so I did have my fingers crossed.

Oakley probably came to Lakes house to ask for display items for the museum!!

Robert, you must open your doors to us normal folks to enjoy your collection. Btw, is that a beijing olympic pin?

No, your probably seeing one of the Little League pins...

Here is a pic of the third one... ( not mine )

I think this might have been discussed before, but what do people do for insurance coverage? Our broker says we need either receipts (no sure I would have ALL of them) or an appraisal - has anyone dealt with this before?

Thank very much.

Appraisals would be tough. Best bet is to record ending auctions on eBay to prove a theoretical replacement value, which given the increased going rate for most things would make the original receipts not on par. I've heard some people state that the insurance agency went on the sunglasses hut site and found similar looking pairs and used that as a baseline THEN depreciated them for time assuming they were old used glasses by then and not worth 100% of retail.

Also at the bottom of the collection tracker page, there is a link to export to a spreadsheet. That should help with organization.

Thanks very much for the reply and details - much appreciated.
Yeah, I had a feeling that EBay might be a good place to get at least a rough value - then again i might scare myself.
Thanks also for the note about the export - think I might have to do that regularly and store it in a safe place.
Thanks again.

I've had a couple conversations with my Insurance over the years on this. Each time I walk away with nothing to do. The sunglass collection really didn't qualify for an official appraisal, as it wasn't considered 'fine art' or along those lines. Essentially, I was told each time that they would be covered under my existing homeowners coverage. Having pictures and lists like Dann mentioned would be key to show proof of ownership. But I imagine they would just use replacement value of same/like pairs to determine reimbursement.

Yeah, even explaining to our agent that I had sunglasses worth X amount of dollars made her question my mental state. Agreed that it might be hard to get it valued like art or wine. Might be best to document as much as possible and go from there.

Aim for the replacement value. I know Jason, the guy who hosts this site, was able to get proper reimbursement for some stolen ichiros in a backpack
