Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

I see. Those Moscots look great. And in the future you still would have the option of grabbing the clips for the Kinney. I really like the fact that the clips are foldable and they give you a nice case. Makes it very easy to carry them around just in case.

On second look, it was actually the Milwood that I was looking at, not the Kinney….

When I was in Japan in December with @Tempvs , we visited the Shibuya branch of:

Which is no more than 200yards from our Shibuya office.

I couldn't help myself and with a "little" encouragement from @Tempvs , I came out with 2 pairs….

Just got them back from the optician.....

Those are sexy specs.

How about a fit pic?

[Giles]

I'll get one tomorrow when we are doing the IHSH-141 pics…..

Two of the nicest pairs of glasses I have ever seen, G.

[Giles]

Thank you.  The place was typically Japanesly (sic) brilliant and over the top.  And they took about 15 minutes per pair shaping the frames for the perfect fit… I'm def going back with @Madame Buttonfly next time we are there together….(and I'll get some of these........http://hakusan-megane.co.jp/flip-up-frontround-classic-type/ or these http://hakusan-megane.co.jp/clip　glam-round/)

and they seem to have a very good price point… waiting for the fit pics...

[Giles]

[rocket]

suit you…

[emceeQ]

I quite like those flip ups.  Just bought some TVR frames that I love, but now you've got me thinking again…

People love to hate on the new Oliver Peoples and I will agree that the new Italian/Lux made glasses aren't quite as good as the old ones were.

What everyone forgets is that OP still has some glasses made in Japan. They may be owned by a big corporation, but I think it's pretty safe to say that whoever makes the Japanese OP frames is not a Lux owned place.

IMO the Japanese-made OP stuff is just as good as any high end glasses around right now. The designs are classy, the construction is perfect, and the lenses are honestly still some of the best around (polarized glass lenses are pretty rare in high end sunglasses.)

I still have not found another pair of aviators that look this good and are made as well as my OP Victory glasses. I wish I had bought a second pair considering that they only reissued them for a couple months.

great frames G. …if you get to it, another fitpic of the darker ones would be much appreciated @Giles …thanks!

I saw my loving sun @Alex for pint last night, he said I looked like Harry Potters Grandad 

[rocket]

maybe … just kidding... they are cool...

[Finn666]

tbh. I thought about Harry as well, when seeing the pic at first …

[Giles]

Luckily, I don't give a flying feck…..

[Finn666]

luckily I know …and "luckily" it shouldn't sound offended at all sir. in the end, I think they suit you really well...which is all that matters imo.

[Giles]

I was not in the least offended…..
