Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

TART especially the Arnel are highly counterfeited.  I'm reserving judgement on those Regency's…..

I checked this guy out and he seems legit, I know the Arnel is widely copied but I've never seen anyone bother doing a copy of Regency glasses. Nevertheless, for less than $20 shipped they'll be worth a look as a spare pair, I might even get a pair in black and send them down to you to check out.

I might order a pair for sunglasses and one for otherwise. They look nice!

[Megatron1505]

Cheap frames arrived, good quality just not sure about the size (hipster?).

[Peter]

Yeah, no. Sorry, but they don't suit you at all; too big and too round.

[Megatron1505]

You can tell this from one blurry picture? You're good 

[Peter]

Well obviously judging from that picture haha.. I also happen to like your Ditas!

Granny Tron?

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, to be fair I'm not struck on them. Great quality for £12, but a little too retro for my liking.

Guess I'll just save up for some Dita Statesman

so these pics have finally load for me, no idea what happen yesterday, anyway, kinda like the shape on you @Megatron1505. I would try some more pairs in that shape….

[Megatron1505]

Thanks Rocket, I'm going to get some lenses put in them and use them as spares/ reading glasses I think 

[rocket]

worth it imo, have fun with em…

[RedStripe]

just bought a pair of these, less than 1/2 price, pretty sure I'm going to look like a d*ck in them, but great lenses

[Tone]

Sun shades are somewhat of a weakness of mine!

[Megatron1505]

Back right, Persols?

The Police box, well, there's a story attached, or rather detached to them.
I wore them fresh from the box and went out for a drink with them on….....never to be seen again!

Did not realize prior to trying them on this weekend how expensive some of the Dita sunglasses can get. Wow! Did like some of the more subdued pairs.

finally, after my moscot lemtosh broke apart and after several months of searching for the right pair, I've came across the right pair of glasses for me:

brand: Garrett Leight California
model: Kinney
size: 49o21

after a few days of wearing them, I only can say that they're superb and perfect for me. super well crafted, super light and you don't have that "heavy feeling", like when wearing thicker and heavier frames. all in all they're super comfortable to wear…

and to call it day,I also went for some new sunnies.

brand: Moscot
model: Lemtosh Sun - black/crystal
size: 49o21

Nice choice! Earlier this year I looked long and hard at a ton of specs. Ended up coming down to the GL Kinney or the GL Venezia. Bought the Venezia because they worked better for my face. The blonde fade is done really well on these.

Surprised you didn't buy the GL clip on sunglasses. I bought them for mine, and they work great!

[Finn666]

well tbh @Chiba J. I've first spotted the moscot sunnies and just had to get those…then, when going into the store to pay for them, I've seen a shitload of other brands,models and frames I just had to get so after trying on multiple pairs, the GL Kinney was the one I've felt most comfortable with, which is why I've bought.
another 30mins later, they were handed out to me incl. the presciption lenses...all around the service was A+
