ooooooookay guys…i need new glasses!

searching for Dita Statesman, Moscot Lemtosh or any other recommendations! who knows where to grab stuff like this? maybe someone even has a pair for sale?...

let me know what you think gents and ladies!

[mclaincausey]

I can recommend Tom Davies, I have a pair of their spectacles that are exquisite. Good luck on your adventure!

[Snowy]

I was looking through here the other day as I have a feeling my time is coming. Dita and Moscot came to the top of my list. Global Spec somewhere on there, but couldn't find any I liked the look of….

[Finn666]

would love to go with the Dita Statesman, but i don't have the possibility to try it on somewhere and i not want to go through the hustle of shipping back and forth! -.- @Snowy

[Snowy]

Oliver People's is the other one that comes to mind. I'd probably end up with the same model glasses as my sunnies tho would annoy me no end.

[Finn666]

which ones are you sorting again?

[Giles]

T.A.R.T.  Got to look at those too…...

Oliver Peoples is a Luxoticca brand now. I guess that's OK but it grosses me out. Barton Pereira is what OP used to be.

Oliver Peoples are made by Luxottica so they're a no go for me.  I'm still a huge fan of Cutler and Gross, I've got a few pairs which are at least 5-6 years old and still rock solid and then my 3 pairs of Dita (2x Statesman, 1x Senator) which I've been very pleased with.  I really like the TART Opticals like G mentioned but I have never been able to find any large enough for my head.

[Giles]

Hmmm, my TART Arnels and FDR's sit pretty similar to my Statesman….

[Clint_D]

What size Statesman's?  52mm?

[Giles]

I lost them in Bangkok last year and can't remember…...Which is not very helpful.

@mankarat can you remember what size the Dita's I bought off you were?

[mankarat]

I believe it was 52mm G

[Giles]

Thanks so much Mank…

Morgenthal Frederics

Expensive but very high quality and not luxottica.

@Finn666 what about TVRs?

@louisbosco:

@Finn666 what about TVRs?

just looking into them…thanks @louisbosco

[Clint_D]

Finn, you might want to take a look at Oliver Goldsmith / Claire Goldsmith.  They have a great selection of vintage styled frames in interesting colorways and are very nice quality as well.

or if you find a great deal to one (local store or online), it would be nice to let me know as well
