Yes, those orange ones would make you look like serious mental case, but is that a bad thing? In your case?

At least no-one could complain about false advertising

Im partial to Mykita or Walter Proksch frames.  really light weight, and have no screws to come loose.

I have a bunch of friends getting into Warby Parker. They send you a box with the five frames you pick out. You try them on, pick 'em out, then let them know your prescription. They're only $95. I've been thinking about getting a pair or two as mine are starting to wear out. Anybody had any luck with them?

I think Urbs has or had a pair. A guy on StyleForum said the quality is pretty weak, but for $95 I guess we can't complain.

Na. I have Shuron Ronsirs, made in USA.

Warby Parker are stylish cheap made in china glasses. I've never owed a pair but have seen some before, not great. If you're on a budget and don't want to go to Walmart, then get Warby Parker.

Ah-ha. Too good to be true. IH has changed my appreciation for quality. I can't hardly bring myself to settle for cheap Chinese goods. No matter how inexpensive, it still feels like a rip off. I was shopping with my wife and I couldn't handle how poorly made some expensive designer gear was.

anyone got any info on these Persol sunglasses?

[Guest]

^ Badass–and one of my favourite movies, as well.

[Megatron1505]

ADDIC, not only do I have info, I have those exact glasses.

[ADDIC]

mind giving me the Persol number? thanks.

[Megatron1505]

The numbers are a little worn, but I think they say…

2712-S.    95/31.    63016

[Megatron1505]

By the way, I would more than likely sell mine after the summer that we have just had…..also, I'm not really a sunglasses kinda guy.

^I'm sure the health of your eyes would say otherwise.

These beasts have me considering accidentally sitting on my Ray Ban's.

[Megatron1505]

I wear peaked head gear, and don't look up 

[Megatron1505]

Now for sale in the Marketplace, and just for Shoremans conscience I can assure that I still own Aviators.
