        Perfect David.

        I've been thinking RMC should make one of these:

        Think it, be it.

          Thx bud will be much better after they are adjusted with my prescription in it 🙂

          Is it a blanket you wish they'd be making?

          Here is another companion for my life

          Cheers,

              The glasses are nice, but I feel like they make your eyes look a little strange due to how close they are to the middle…

                    The acetate (?) of those frames looks really substantial. Great frames.

                        Maybe we'll see one some day from RMC.

                        For lil' comparison

                        And my future big boy hard to capture under my crappy light, as said frame is not yet adjusted and no prescripted lenses atm. Big puppy love thats gonna be

                            I have no idea and its not important for me anyway but I think they are approx the same except for the bigger eye size and the much thicker frame in the mccoy

                            Cheers,

                              sorry, was just asking cause wondered how they compared with some other similar frames (persols) I have, all good though.

                                I think they look cool. The glare on the lens kinda throws it off a little in the pic. Nice pick up D.

                                  The nose bridge is the biggest difference I see between the two.

                                  Big D, you always know how to make it work for you, and as usual I'm sure you'll look like 2 million plus bucks in these 🙂 😘

                                      Right on, I think snowy hit the characteristic I was seeing in them the bridge reminds me very much my older style "pre-compact fold" McQueen persols. It is a very cool look, after all Steve McQueen wore the same type frame…. How could it not be cool?? but those look much heavier constructed than even the vintage mcqs

                                          Yeah 48mm isn't that large. They are normal proportions, just super thick acetate.

                                          Those are awesome man nice score.

                                          Think it, be it.

                                            Oh wow, yeah they are actually a bout 1-3mm smaller in all directions than my vintage McQueens, but I agree that beefy frame compensates and gives a similar size appearance. Nice D
