Dita Oxford Glasses

[Finn666]

so how do you like´em Gav?…

[Megatron1505]

My opinion doesn't matter, Pam prefers them to my Persols so these are now first choice 

But they are cool, quite light, and softer on the face than my Persols.

if Pam likes´em then they´re perfect!

backed, enjoy them Gav…

These are my nerd glasses.  They are kind of a mix of traditional and modern in that they are cotton acetate coupled with matte titanium.  The acetate is glossy on the earpieces and matte on the frame.  These have the same attention to detail, heft, and quality of construction that drew me to IH.

Also sporting a raglan Made&Crafted Wabash shirt I picked up for a song.

I finally got to try on some Dita Statesmans, I think I'm in love.

Fits well on your face!
P.S. Where in Austin is that optical shop?

[Clint_D]

We actually stopped off at Spectacles for Humans when we were in San Francisco.  I'm still working on locating some local shops that stock the Statesmans.

Does anyone know of a UK stockist of Dita? I'd like to try a  pair of "Grand Reserve" and "Statesman" before purchasing….

Some fuckchop stole my Maui Jim Wiki Wiki shades. They're great shades, amber polarized with a subtly blue gradient. Aside from the logo on the lens they were my favorite glasses.

I was going to replace the Maui Jims but I thought a classic aviator would go well with my A-2. Went to a store and fell in love with some aviators. Put them on, they felt great. Basically a classic gold frame aviator with very fine and subtle engraving. Featherweight, immaculate construction and details, Japanese-made of course.  Barton Perreira Hughes (named I presume after Howard Hughes).  Then I saw the price. $555. No thanks.

Found a pair on the Bay new for 1/3 of that price. No cloth or case, no problem. Very happy.
