Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

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?

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

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.
Appreciate the insight

You've had yours long enough to be vintage right?
