Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

Morgenthal Frederics

Expensive but very high quality and not luxottica.

@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

[Megatron1505]

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

[Giles]

There's a store in Berlin and one in London (F 'n' C visit?)

[Finn666]

well unfortunately i can't wait that long to get new glasses…broke the frame in december and since then i'm searching for a decent one. the broken frame is glued together with tape atm

[Giles]

So it's lasted 2 months.  What's your issue?

[Jordan23]

Those Tenderloin G

Enjoy ya addiction!

[Chiba J.]

Nice Tenderloins. Made by Hakusan Megane. Their store(s), especially the one in Ueno, should be on everyone's to see in Tokyo list IMO.

Why dont you let you measure up for that model and get some advice in that shop, maybe compare measurements with your broken moscot if thats possible? then there is no blabla if they mess up with sizing  @Finn666
then up to Visilab for an eyetest and if they have the lenses inhouse you have the glasses ready usually in less than 2 hours. Did that with my RMC frame and had it within less than 2hours incl Test and i have really bad eyes

And btw your health insurance might cover maybe something for the glasses in the base insurance, usually all 5years, dont forget to ask them if you are already entitled for that lil refund
