Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

@Shoreman:

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.

[Finn666]

the gigli+cavalli are dope!…would rock those as well!

[GimpKid]

Hey G,

Are these your Dita Ramblers by chance? I've been trying to get an idea of their size.

@Giles:

[Giles]

Yes they are.  I have lost my bloody Senators somewhere in the house…...

[GimpKid]

Cool, thanks. They look good.

I was looking at the Ramblers or the Whitehalls, as those both come in sunglasses and I don't need Rx. The Whitehalls looks huge, though. Either way I gotta buy some IH-555s first.
