Just thought I'd share my excitement...I scored a pair of vintage Black on Black Topcoats off eBay today! :)

My first pair of Oakleys were my Blood Trenchcoats...I wore those bad boys out...had them in a couple times for repairs and after replacing one of the ear stems for a third time retired them to be the centerpiece of my collection and for display only, along with their Vault case both circa 1995.

Anyways, I never bought a pair of Topcoats back when they were released, but have been keeping an eye out for the past couple years looking for one to add to my collection.

I'm stoked...that plus the Black / Grey Doggles that lionel here is hooking me up with to complete that collection made for a great beginning to the Xmas week! :)

Here's a shot of my single tower that I was finally able to get my hands on a couple weeks ago...again off eBay...It's been an Oakley-ish holiday season at our house!!!



My wife also gave me an early xmas present after I got the tower...sort of a commemorative addition to the collection...a pair of OU Sooners Collegiate Twenties! There is multiple meanings to having them in the collection.

1. I am an OU fan (Ohio State first but OU Sooners in the Big 12)
2. Our new pup "Oakley"s official registered AKC name (that I got to pick) is "Selton's Sooner in Shades"...my wife came up with the idea, and it just sounded too perfect!

She was going to take a pic of him with the shades on but I told her we should wait till he is older and a bit calmer, lol...I don't want them ruined just to get the shot!

Congrats on the Topcoats. Always a fun pair, I tend to break out the white chrome pair every blue moon.

I was watching them and decided not to bid. I'm glad a Review member picked them up! Congrats!

topcoats are the coolest ! nice score
