      Can someone let me know some brands that make quality sunglasses? I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but I was just hoping to figure out who makes some quality nicely made sunglasses.

      I usually come to the iron heart forum for brand recommendations because everyone here seems to appreciate well made stuff

      It depends what you're looking for. Maui Jim is widely acknowledge to have some of the best lenses in the industry. Salt Optics seems to be some of the best value in the luxury segment.

          Thanks

          what kinda style were you looking for? optics tend to be very personal and most decent brands tend to follow a certain style of another..

            I have been impressed with the Globe Specs offered at Self Edge.  Most frames are a little small though, and I have a big head.  Quality is really excellent though.

              As someone with an undersized head, this is relevant to my interests.

                Definitely recommended in that case! I have two pairs, one of which I am hesitant to wear because my ex said they look funny on my big dome.

                          That is fully my jam. I lost a pair of vintage American Opticals in the Czech Republic.  They looked a lot like that.  The hunt continues…

                            Like others have stated before it's all going to depend on what style you're looking for, what fits your head, etc….all very personal.

                            Best bang for you buck, Madson.  ( www.madsonofamerica.com ).  Hands down the best value out there IMO.  I've owned four pairs over the years and all are still going strong.  Full disclosure...yes they are made in China but don't let that scare you away in terms of quality.  No, they aren't the highest quality glasses out there and I'm not claiming they are ...but they are damn good value for the money and their customer service is top notch.  They also have quite a few models that are oversized if you have a big ass dome.  If not they make smaller and medium size frames as well.

                            Electric ( www.electriccalifornia.com ) are also nice but just a bit more expensive than Madson's.  Similar in style to Madson's I would say and both are California based companies.

                              For anyone buying glasses or sunglasses from abroad to ship to the US, please know that the FDA is now (?) requesting a "drop ball test" certificate. I've had two shipments stopped, one from the UK, and another from Hong Kong. Both those shipments were via FedEx.
