Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

[Simon]

I'm not sure i made the right move with these Persol Steve McQueen's, the sales girl was very persuasive and i made an impuse purchase, cant argue with the quality though?

[madmonday]

[madmonday]

let the images do the talking

Nice Monday.

I like to wear Oakley Frogskins. They are fairly cheap compared to other brands (~$100). Most of the Oakleys are made in China, but the Frogskins are always made in the USA. They use the old equipment from the 80's to make the repros. When it comes to sunglasses and kicks, I'm full on 80's stylie.  They are also fairly limited. A general release has 3000 pair and collaborations go from 20-1000. My favorite pair is the Oakley x Grenade collaboration from 2009, it's limited to 250 pair.  Just thought I'd share

if they didn't have the brnd name going down the side i would be a fan of frogskins as well.  only stuff from the 80s & 90s that i love with the brnd name all over are classic polo ralph lauren pieces.

I'll just go ahead and make this easy for you.

The original
http://www.shuron.com/ronsir_zyl.htm

Made in USA
Super solid and cheap.

And get the clip on sunglasses as well.

[Finn666]

thanks a lot urb!…

[injunjack]

Shurons are def nice, but for me the lens is too big. If you can live with lens that big, go for it. (big lenses to me = 80's, no good )

Check Na Und?,  53F811, Design by Marion Ramm, made in Germany. About same price range as Shurons

Link to a german retailer earlier in this thread

even better price than first link

[Finn666]

thanks a lot for the hint IJ…def.taking them into consideration mate!

[injunjack]

Rafa, I've been wearing these since beg. of March. No issues so far, and these are pretty damn comfy to wear.

Some Clip- ons would be cool like Ronsirs…Any hints on those?

[emceeQ]

Didn't realize Shuron's had clip ons.  Considering those or a pair of Persol's for my next frame.  Been dealing with a broken frame for a few months now…

[GimpKid]

Anyone have a pair of the Persol 714s or have any opinions on them? I have my eye on the Steve Mcqueen edition.

Edit: Here's a pic.

[Simon]

Yep, I've got the Steve McQueen edition, go back one page and you'll see the pic. Beautiful glasses but quite large!
