Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

@hectic:

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.

hey guys, thinking of getting a pair of persols, any recommendations?

[bagley920]

Whatever you do, don't get the foldable style. I've had 2 different pair since October and the bridge screws keep coming out

[Clint_D]

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?

[Clint_D]

Not that I'm aware of right now.

This is a good blog to follow if you're interested in eyewear:

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