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.

like them…

[tatmantall]

holy balls, those are the illmatic. man oh man are they super sweet! If you ever decide they aren't your gig Ill be happy to take em off your hands

[mclaincausey]

Thanks boys, I was so crestfallen when I saw the price at the optician. And so stoked when I found them on eBay

Just to be safe, I will always check pricing before trying spectacles on here forward.

tat, there are plenty on the bay, had a look yesterday…

[mclaincausey]

Yeah that same seller has listed a ton since I bought around the same price. Different styles too. Mine are gold with stout ale gradient lenses, if you want the same. Love the lenses. An amber gradient.

Just took delivery of my new Dita Winston glasses.

[grandmasterben]

Even with the goofy face they look great man!

[Seul]

That's his normal face…

[tatmantall]

i think these ditas suit your face better than the previous model you had.

[Megatron1505]

Thanks, the wife thinks that they are more "dignified". I guess something about me has to be right?

So, amongst other things, I lost my sunnies (AO) and my reading glasses (Dita) whilst in Bangkok.

Luckily Tuck Shop have a great range of Japanese made frames.

New reading glasses.
Tart Optical

Sunnies that can double up as sunnie readers.

Great pic ups, enjoy

[Finn666]

[Giles]

Dunno.  You think I pay retail?

Go to their shop and take a look…..

[Finn666]
