Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

[Clint_D]

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.

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.

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.

I've tried a ton of them, but I haven't found a better general use polarized lens than Maui Jim's Bronze HCl

[Finn666]

thanks again for the feedback @Megatron1505 @grandmasterben @Giles

but feck…just came across "The Statesman Two"

and this beauty right here "Moscot Lemtosh Flesh"

so another two options that are dope as all hell…i hate searching for new glasses, fuck -.-

[Megatron1505]

Stick with the Statesmans is my opinion Rafa, classic design and definitely on my list for my next glasses.

[Giles]

I got these recently in an off-forum trade…......Super nice....

[Finn666]

those are super nice as well @Giles …the first one on the page reminds me a lot of my (now broken) pair of moscot lemtosh.

[grandmasterben]

I like the regular statesman Rafa… More manly I think. Can you try them on?

Kinda crazy, I think there's about 4 flagship dita stores in the world and I've been to two of them!

[Finn666]

that's my main f…ing problem @grandmasterben no chance matey -.-

called a few stores here in switzerland and one is able to order them for me, but if they order, i only have the option to buy. so i actually "have to" buy them, even if they shouldn't suit me. they can't stock a single pair and blablabla
