      @louisbosco it might be worth dropping Henderson's an email, and ask if they carry Hakusan. They've got a number of Japanese brands, so I might be getting confused. Otherwise I'll try to remember next time I'm in town.

      @Appfaff shopping for frames is always a slow process. I ended up with the clunky Kuboraums because I liked that style, next time it'll be something quite different.

      I did see a lovely Dita frame, which was thin, black acetate cast around a gold titanium skeleton. They looked like a more delicate version of something that Moscot might produce. I'm quite tempted by those for my next pair, but they might work for you too. I'll grab a photo when I'm in Henderson's next, hassling them for Louis. 🙂

          @Appfaff I think that it was the Polymath that I was looking at.

            @Graeme - those are very nice indeed. I feel if I drop the coin on DITAs, they need those have those metal dots on the front lol

                Exposed screw backs are like exposed selvedge seams, right?

                  @Appfaff I was wrong, the model I like is the Dita Insider-Two. This pair has the clear frame, which I prefer to the ones I saw in black / clear, and has exposed selvedge screws. 🙂

                      Frame prices are ridiculous.

                          @steelworker if prices are bad where you are, you should see what they're like in Australia! :o

                          @Giles you're leaving yourself open to comments about your appearance in general there. 😃

                          I'm probably not the best person to make suggestions about which spectacles to go for, as my guideline is choose the craziest pair that suits you. But I think that with something like the Dita Brixa, you'd have to see how they sit on your face, and then just roll with the look if it's workable. I felt as though my Kuboraum pair were wearing me for the first few weeks I had them.

                              I quite like those - I love rounded frames, but being as my face is somewhat Round, they exacerbate my appearance (in a bad way), so I stick to more square and rectangular frames.

                                    After looking at your post again on IG three times, I snagged some Insider Ones.  My luck with finding NIB gear from forum friends has been on point lately. Should have them early next week and hopefully able to get lenses made before we leave for holiday

                                      Those are really nice, I reacently looked at a similar Model at Masunaga

                                      http://www.masunaga1905.com/en/product/858

                                      My go to german made Brand Lunor does some Acetate and Metal Mix Glasses too but the engraving on the japanese Models is really nice and kind of unique.

                                        Got my lenses installed in my Insiders and really dig them. A lot different than I would normally go, but definitely something fun to have in the rotation.

                                        Now I have my eyes on the Buckeye in Amber/White Gold for my 2018 optical purchase.

                                        Anyone have a pair and could post up pics?  Sadly, I am quite a different size And shape than their model on he website [emoji23]
