Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion
-
Hello everybody,
Meanwhile, I'm an old geezer and need some optical aid … meant - I must purchase eyeglasses. ::)
After some brainstorming, my current favourite reading glasses would be these ->Ray Ban RX7014 / black
lightweight, smart and old school
Any other ideas / suggestions?
No magnifiers, spyglasses, diving goggles, etc. .. please
–- Cheers! -

I normally go for wayfarer shapes for sunglasses, work very well for my shape and look. Aviators work too, but just not that fond of them.
Of all companies, maybe because of the Italian roots, I always LOVE Persol but own none as I am picky. I am hoping my recent purchase gets me a pair I will love. They should be dead on to what I like nowadays and the price was fair for authentic Persols.
Persol PO9649S Havana with Crystal Green lenses

While not a brand to know eyewear by….still do make some good pairs. The original penguin, the Clyde
@Finkster dunno what style you liking for
-
Thx for the input, buddy
The glasses are not bad, but the colouring is too loud and the frame a bit boring
:-\ 
…
whatever - my personal deadline is End of June .. insofar .... blessedly, I'm not under pressure.Edit: Cheers for the advice with 'Original Penguin' .. there are some nice other types / frames
for example ->
-
I have a pair of persol 2965 v in tortoise….. Never got lenses in then besides demo. @Finkster they are wider then the pair you posted
-
Never go lens fitted….so just sitting here useless.

@tmg:
Anyone have a pair of Retrosuperfuture glasses, or know anything about them? I'm looking at the America or Classic
I find them a bit cheap feeling myself, and they're a bit fashion-y for my tastes.
The frames come off quite big and chunky. But that could also just be a personal preference!
I'm a noted fan of Moscot (mainly since I can get them for a very fair price personally) and find their shapes a bit more classic.
I need to get into Japanese eyewear honestly, just unsure of where to start. -
no, hehe ….
Mates have bought some from cubitts and also Bailey & Nelson.
Handmade by them and pretty damn reasonable pricing. May not be what you are after though!

Thanks for the tip, will be visiting the Bailey Nelson shop as I saw a couple of frames that I liked [emoji106]
