I started work for Oakley U.K. in 1999, when it was based in Letchworth, it was a really great company, great product really unique, I think it’s a shame that Luxottica bought the company because it then just becomes a numbers game. The uniqueness of the product and the history is no longer running through the veins of the company. I never met JJ, but the guy I worked with and for had dealt with him from the beginning and went on to deal with him in his movie camera business. Yeah all I can say it’s a shame, it was a really cool product from the USA, like so many In the 1980s and 90s, but now it’s just another product on a shelf with 1 million other products all driven by a faceless organisation with one goal and that is profit.
Do a video on J.Jannard's newer sunglass brand "M-Experiment"
oakley motorcycle grips were the best! still have a brand new pair!
