Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

[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?

@Finn666 what about TVRs?

just looking into them…thanks @louisbosco

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.

if anyone is looking to get rid of their DITA STATESMAN…hit me up!
or if you find a great deal to one (local store or online), it would be nice to let me know as well

Anyone know anything about this brand, I like some of their styles.

I used to and still have some cheap sunglasses, mostly wayfairers…but I normally wear my Tres Noir Way Cooler sunglasses. I love them things. Great hand made quality piece of eye protection. Been through a year and half of riding and daily use and still going strong. No breaking, no loose spots...still look great.
