Started shopping for sunglasses about a week ago and learned about Luxottica. Turns out there’s a grand total of three brands of sunglasses that are viable for me to buy. Made in the USA but still only cost the same $300 that made in china Oakleys and ray bans cost.
I’d still rather support American jobs and the American economy. I’m willing to pay for that and the quality is usually worth it IMO. If I can give my money to company that hasn’t outsourced jobs, I will.
I’m actually in Canada but there’s only two sunglasses manufacturers here and they’re both over priced high fashion stuff.
The Luxottica approach.

I just ordered a pair of 20 dollar polarized sunglassess off amazon. Fuck the name brands and the ridiculous prices.
