          Thanks, guys. I have a pair of prescription glasses from Ahlem as well and they are top-notch.

                Picked up a new pair of glasses last week.  Managed to find a pair of Matsuda frames in stock at a London opticians.  I had spotted these particular frames M1018 on the web but did not have the bottle to pull the trigger without trying them on.  Fortunately a trip to London sorted this and they fitted nicely. Fitted with a grey green photochromic lens.

                An honourable mention to 36 opticians in Kensington, great opticians, good selection and service. 👍

                Matsuda sunglasses next I think.

                    Those are very nice. Which sunglasses are you considering, @ddtrash?

                    I recently developed a bit of an obsession with the 10610H in antique gold, but I can't talk myself into committing that kind of cash to a pair of sunglasses (yet).

                      @Chris

                      I tried on the M3023 at Rivet and Hide.  They were a good fit for me and if I had not just spent quite a bit on the regular eyeglasses I would have picked up a pair.

                      Also share your concerns with regard to expensive sunnies. I tend to get through a few pairs of cheaper sunglasses.  Sunshine lends itself to pub visits which can often end in the glasses getting lost or broken 😂

                        Hey Guys,

                        I'm looking for some advice. I bought a pair of Moscot Lemtosh sunglasses and they messed up the size. I ordered a size 49 but they send a 46 instead.

                        Should I keep or send em back for a bigger size?

                        PS: the shades themselves are great! I ordered them with the custom made tint 'forest green' and I couldn't be happier! Perfect for outdoors but clear enough to let you walk in a store or house without immediately having to take them off because they are too dark. Also the quality of the acetate and the balance of the glasses are really nice. They feel very vintage.

                          @scarfmace those are a nice looking pair of glasses but that pair is too small for you. Go for your original order and you will never look back.

                          @ddtrash that Sir is an epic pair of glasses you got yourself right there!!

                              I wear Lemtosh sunglasses and Gelug eyeglasses. Love Moscot and the service at their store is excellent.

                              I think my Lemtosh sunglasses look a little bigger on me than those do in your pic so maybe you do need the larger size. Not sure really.

                                I'll be contrarian and say that I think they fit well.  I tend to prefer smaller glasses, though, so that's probably factoring into my assessment.  Those are great looking frames, too, by the way. I like them a lot.

                                  Thx guys, I've contacted Moscot and they say the size is good because it covers my eyebrows, my eyes are centre and the arms are straight back. However, the Lemtosh can be worn bigger if you want it to be more pronounced. so in the end… It's all about personal taste...

                                  And I don't know anymore  ???

                                  Here is another picture from a different angle, just because I love spaming my face  😃

                                    That's a more useful analysis than I gave, but those were the reasons I thought they fit well, too.

                                      I personally wouldn't want them bigger either… They look great on ya, btw...

                                        I've had a pair of Lemtosh — love them! The Moscot stuff is top notch. I think the size of those looks great.

                                        In recent years I've been pretty hooked on Super Iconic (now just called Warhol, I believe). I've got several pairs of em and feel like I've found my lifers.

                                          I'm with @Chris and @Seul, and think that the glasses fit you well @scarfmace. My only caveat is that you've taken a photo with a mobile phone camera, and sometimes they can exaggerate the size of the frame on your face.

                                          If you're bothered, drop by a store and check out the 49s. But I suspect they might be on the large side.
