Post a picture? Look on the web to see if they look alike. Do you have the o-frame or the crowbar?

Pop the lens out, if the cut around it is really smooth, they're real. If it is somewhat rough and jagged, they are fake.

I did compare the letters to another pair of oakleys and they were identical, and usually they say the fake oakleys writing on the nose peice wears of in no time, and these glasses are a couple years old and they still look very new

reals ones are made in the US. It says "Made in the USA" on the side. The real lettering will not sratch off the nose piece unlike the fake ones. I have a real pair of twentys, and then 3 pairs of fake ones.


The fake lenses do chit, the real work. plain and simple
