Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion
-
i like the actual glasses a lot rocket. I'm due for either new contacts or glasses and been debating similar or some dita frames
-
I like the looks of the Ditas. I just bought some Globe Specs from SE and they are pretty nice. They are getting some lenses put in as I type.

Have you checked out Orgreen, Rocket?
Just a word of warning, Orgreens are great and I love the design but you really have to be careful with them. If you ever sit on them or are rough with them, they're pretty much toast. I know from experience. This would apply to most titanium frames and the like but it's just something else to consider when looking for a new pair. I've been wearing acetate Cutler and Gross frames for around five years now. I've got matching glasses and prescription sunglasses and I can't speak highly enough of them. I've dropped them, sat on them, had many a drunken night with them and they still look and fit great.

Get a vintage pair of Persols if you can. The quality began to suffer once they were bought out by Luxottica, IMHO. If you search for "Persol Ratti", you can find a good selection of NOS pairs.
Anywhere trustable to get them from? From what I know eBay has alot of fakes.. or any still good in production brands of shades to recommend?

Not that I'm aware of right now.

Vintage Persols are indestructible. My prescription glasses, and my sunglasses are both vintage Persol, and I am not carefull with them.
