Sick. I was able to pick up both the Leather Wrap and Suede Straight Jackets on the same day. They are fraternal twins. So freakin sweet, but so not-for-everyday-wear.
With the suede look, it goes great with all other non Oakley suede products such as jackets. But this would have to be one of the best options that Oakley put out for the Straight Jackets. One problem with it is the part that touches your nose will change colors due to the oils on your nose (found out on my first pair). So this would be one of the pairs for the case only!
I sent 5 of those ugly Suede covered straight Jacket from France to US. And I'll definitly never get one of those for me because I'm a wearer before being a collector, and I would never wear this one. They are really comfortable to wear (tried one a few seconds) but should be quickly used/damaged. But I'll give 4 Stars to this frame because of his unique style.
This just has to be the craziest,most awesome impractical frame colour they ever did,so pretty much one for the collector.
They feel nice on but I would be afraid to sweat in them or let skin oils discolor or mat the suede.
this must be super super rare. ive seen one on ebay in 2 years and ive been kicking myself i didnt get it as i must have all the weird frame colours that have been made.
i dunno why this and the super weird leather wrap were done on classic straight jackets.
not even a nice colour surely a black suede would have been a more sensible choice.
Another offering to the classic straight jackets. This I imagine would discolor in a second once out in the rain, so it's a strict collection piece.
