    @kiya:

    Those Persol McQueen editions are cool for obvious reasons but i would definitely not order a pair online, they look good on about 1% of people that try them on.  It's a unique shape and only works for some people. 
    If you can spring for Dita you should do it, the quality is amazing on their frames, both Giles and i now have multiple pairs which we love.

    I guess I need to move mine on then!?

      I actually called around and found a place semi-local that has a pair of the McQueens. I'll go have a look.

      As far as I know, no one local sells Dita, which blows. I tried on a pair when I was in La Jolla last summer. I liked them, but I'd like to see more.

      I may go for a non-McQueen Persol. I like the tortoise frames they have and they're different from all my other pairs.

          I actually meant like a local shop to go see them in person. But as it turns out one of the places I deal with does sell them. Which is weird cus I've never seen them in there. They usually push Oliver Peoples/Mosley Tribes and nonsense like Chrome Hearts.

          This place is still like an hour drive for me so I'll have to plan a trip. Hopefully I can make it there soon.

            glad to hear that. cos over here in singapore, its pretty hard to get some of the eyewear. like Dita, i went to at least 10 stores and none sold them.. the last one that did, they did not have my size and kept trying to sell me theirs which was obviously too small for me.  😞

              So I called down to the one shop I deal with. They had the McQueens I wanted (tortoise with blue lens, super hard to find) and a selection of Dita. And the girl I talked to on the phone sounded kinda cute. So I drove down there today.

              Suspicions were confirmed all around. The McQueens are big, but I still like them. The Ditas are cool, but their sunglass selection at this store were more on the girly side. The Rx selection was a lot better, but I don't wear prescription anymore (had Lasik).

              Oh and the girl was cute.

              I ended up buying the McQueens. I think I can pull them off.

              Chances are I'll eventually buy some Ditas. I buy some sunglasses once every 6 months or so. Maybe next time.

                          This mug, what sun glasses? Don't really want to spend more than $300.

                            derivative666 - these glasses really feels outta this world. I've owned ray ban, Oakley (titanium frameless and another regular metal ones) and many others but none comes close to these. 😃

                            gimpkid - thanks mate. I am sodamn glad I got my hands in these. fekking gorgeous I swear. these are definitely not gonna be my last Dita. 😃

                                Clop: imo you can't go wrong with an aviator… Although you appear to have a lot less round a noodle than me...

                                  how about showing them on your face, ie if they suit you or not…..that's only thing that matters

                                  Clop, tell us your preferences?  Huge ones like Seul digs, modern square ones, frameless, aviators, Lennon...what kind?

                                    Well, I wouldn't want really big glasses, don't really care if they are frameless or not. The problem is that I live in the sticks, so trying a lot of pairs on isn't really an option:(

                                      I'd go for something like the Randolph Engineering ones that Alex posted a few pages back. Quality brand and an aviator style thats not huge. It's pretty classic.

                                        that's probably one of the best mistakes you've made G…. the Dita looks fantastic on you.
