@Filthy:
I sent an old pair of jeans into this woman I found on Etsy today… to make a welding cap out of it. I have a feeling the 21 oz denim is going to smoke her sewing machine. But she agreed to try. I am so excited to upcycle one of my retired pairs. If this works she makes all kind of awesome hats, so I am super excited.
Sounds awesome, post pics of the result is good!
Neph, looks fun, my youngest and I will have to try that out later….my 555n that have on today are a bit more battered though..

Went for an eye exam today…
My left eye vision has deteriorated from 20/25 to 20/70 in just one year... My right eye went from 20/20 to 20/25..... time for glasses.
Glasses shopping is DIFFICULT.
Thinking to shave of my beard to get a better feel of what will truly look good on my face.

go with clear ones. They match everything. People with compliment you about how brilliant they are too.

Yeah those are cool. I have had many iterations of that style.

@UnTucked 'Grats! Once you get up to the 20/500 range, Christmas trees look waaaay prettier. I recommend it.
Anyways… I like my Ogi frames. Made in Japan and have thus far stood up to frequent punishment, courtesy of fatherhood

@UnTucked welcome to having a whole new world of things to obsess over…
I'm a big fan of TVR frames (https://www.tvropt.com)

I wear contacts daily, and only wear my glasses when at home and in the evening.
The best pair I've ever had are Ray Ban original aviators with prescription lenses.
They still look new and I enjoy the larger lenses.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I considered aviators… they're the only frames I've ever worn, because I've always felt they're the only ones that look good on me.
I don't know if I want to be "that guy" all day everyday tho, lol

I get what you mean by that completely. They didn't want to sell me them at the store when I asked, originally.
They are a great "around the house" frame.I am thinking of getting the Outdoorsman next with prescription gradient tinted lenses.
Clear frames as mentioned by filthy sound nice though too.

I have a pair of Orgreen (they are out of Copenhagen and manufacture and materials are generally Japanese) that are great. They are usually made of titanium alloys, acetates, or a combination thereof, and feature that famous Danish design language. The titanium frames are lightweight and durable. I have this model in a subtle brown anodized exterior and dark red anodized interior scheme. They are good for active life.
I also have a pair of TD Tom Davies from England that are quite well-made, brushed titanium wire rim paired with black acetate. They only made 50 of them and I don't see them online, but from a distance they look like your typical wire rim glasses, and look a bit more modern and luxurious close-up. This model at least is not as good for active life, as they are heavier and can fall off during activities like lifting.
Good luck!

@UnTucked I found you some perfect glasses.
