Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

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.

[Giles]

I'm getting these next…

Those look awesome.  Especially in the tortoise shell…

[GimpKid]

Feck, those are nice too.

They really don't make many of the acetate frames that come stock with sunglasses lenses, which is a shame.

[Giles]

Yep, it is these I lust for:

I think those will suit you the best out of all of them, G.

I'd really love to own a pair of Dita Statesman…might be in for a pair as my next frames!

[GimpKid]

Found a pair of Dita Statesman on ebay.

I won't be bidding but thought others might be interested. Just keep in mind that price is only like $60 off retail.

HAHA! what color are yours? exact same as Alex?

[unharmed]

Not 100% sure - the logo and screw heads on Alex's look green but I don't know if that's just from the photo effects or not. Mine look like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/74172581@N05/7923285346/#

@joesaintjohn:

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 have two pairs
One Thatcher tortoise shell (my fav)
and one Black… cant remember but it looks a lot like the thatcher

Been wearing them for about a year now.  I love em.  The Warby Parker logo on the inside of the black pair is rubbing off from wearing them every day for about 6 months, but... to be expected, I guess?

No structural damage.  Wore the black ones while installing floors this summer.

I'd say go for it

[bubbapest]

Note, I cant bring myself to wear my black ones anymore because I love my tortoise ones so much

Q: Is hot tap water the best way to adjust (bend) Persol frames?

I don't want to fk shit up.

[Giles]

Or a hair dryer…..
