Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion
-
they say the size is good because it covers my eyebrows, my eyes are centre and the arms are straight back.
That's a more useful analysis than I gave, but those were the reasons I thought they fit well, too.

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.

For me, bigger is always better when it comes to sunnies
I have some nice sleek glasses and I grab my beater Ray Band everyday since the coverage is so much better and easier to wear.

I have kind of a small head, so I try to avoid large sunglasses, since they tend to look like this on me
I bought a very comfortable appropriately sized pair from the children's section at a ski store once… -

I know @den1mhead …guess who made me wanting a pair of clear frames

Been rocking these Persol 714's for the past few years. Really tempted to get some Jacques Marie Mage as my next pair though.

I bought a very comfortable appropriately sized pair from the children's section at a ski store once…I have the exact opposite problem. Big head = small frames make it look even bigger and/or make me look like some weirdo whose eyes are too close together

Went down to a local shop where they happen to have a pair of Moscot Lemtosh 49's in stock and they fit perfect.
I know in the pictures, it looks like they might be a bit too big but thats selfies for you I guess. The arms where longer aswell so they where more comfortable on my head.

That's a proper fit there my friend. Fine looking specs that work great for your head!!

@zhivago, cheers!

New specs day! Dita Schema One in silver/clear.

I can relate 100%. I have even had to resort to buying sunglasses to repurpose as eyeglasses as they tend to run larger than typical optical frames. You know it's bad when you wish Poten made XL baseball caps, I can only wear a Large when I have short to almost no hair.
In regards to Jacques Marie Mage, I own a pair of Molino optical frames and have handled a few pairs of their sunglasses and I've got to say that I find them hard to justify the price point. The (many) Dita's I've owned seem to be better constructed. That being said, I do prefer more of JMM's lines and the styling.

Picked up a pair of Akila HiFi 2.0 on a whim because they looked cool and were pretty reasonably priced, and man I'm pretty stoked with em. I've always been a fan of Wayfarers, and these are sorta like a slightly more modernized version. Seem like nice quality, too.
