Hi all, can somebody help me with the Prod codes for the Fat Cat? as i can't find these glasses listed on the Oakley website.

I'm fairly certain that they're an O store exclusive like the wardens

yeah, i saw them at the o store but that's the only place

i don't like that it says "oakley" instead of "O"... seems very eighties somehow

or just call Oakley Direct sales

It looks like the silver frame got updated with a polished finish and black oakley lettering.



I actually like the stretch logo.

Oakley Direct Sales wasn't able to sell them to me. They are called Strethline because it's Stretchline dealers that carry them. The top OPD stores, mostly skate and surf, are Stretchline dealers. Oakley can tell you what stores in your area are Stretchline stores though.

Then there are a few online, and ebay. Though didn't someone recently post that for the fall/holidays they may go on Oakleys website and become more available as well as the possibility of a few new things?

The stretchline was designed, because there was a market for the retro look, but it didn't really fit well with Oakley's 'forward' thinking, so they tried to get the best of both worlds.

Stretchline dealers are core surf and skate shops. If you know of any such shops in your area that are also Oakley dealers, give them a call. Oakley direct sales most likely will not be able to sell these to you, as they are distributed to those dealers first (that's what they told me when I asked). They can tell you which dealers have the Stretchline, though.

I have a pair of Matte Black Fat Cats. The product code is 03-357.

Don't forget to look for the cool Stretchline tower:

i called Oakley direct sales when the Stretchline glasses came out, and they were absolutely couldn't help me. i ordered my Wardens from www.edgenow.com and couldn't be happier with their service. fast and free shipping, and not tax to boot.

Thanks for the replies guys, I hope to get a pair of the Matte Black like Ed, but the nearest stretchline store is miles away. If anyone has any info on Fat Cat colours as well, I've only seen a matte black, a polarised version, a white, a beer coloured and a camo version. Pretty hard to find pics as well don't you think?

And most online stores have pics of the one colour, ! with Skateboards.com they list the Fat Cat with a picture of the Monster Dog!

Try this link:

4 of the 5 colors are shown. The polished black/black polarized one is not pictured but pretty self-explanatory. It has a white stretch logo.

Wow, those are cool pictures, now I might of getting the Blue Camo. But I read in the reviews I think it was Phil that said the logos kept popping out and the lenses were loose? Is this true for some of the other Fat Cat owners here?

James L (JL - 9/26/2004 6:40:35 PM)

Check my review. I have not had any problems with my Fat Cats. I think Phil may have gotten one of the first batch, so maybe Oakley had not gotten all the bugs out yet.

I had both my Fatcats and Wardens before I had even seen them widely available online or in most local retailers. I very well could've got a bad pair of each from early production. That's what I would bet on with my Fatcats and when I returned them I just grabbed another pair of Dogs instead of trying antoher color. I still look at the Fatcat and want another pair but I also want to see what new Stretchline items may be coming out soon.
