      The frames came in in about a week–something is going on at the lab @henry_david

      Think it, be it.

        Thanks much, @Paul9221. She's the best cause she knows that I'm such a picky asshole that it's usually better to work with me on gifts lol.

        Ah rad! I went to HS in Santa Ana and spent a lot of time in Garden Grove at the shop of a knifemaker whom I respect a lot.

        And YES to the SELA store. I skipped the MF store even though it's just down the street from SE, but I hear it's bananas. Being in San Francisco (the Outer Sunset), I love both the SESF store (I copped my first pair of IH, the IH-301S, back there in 2011) and the Standard & Strange store in Oakland.

        You're so lucky to be so close to LA man. Living in Orange County and having such a rad city nearby is epic.

        Ha!  In the 17 years that I've been married, my wife has returned all but 2 of the gifts I've gotten her.  I just stop trying.  On the flip-side, she just looks the other way when green packages arrive from the UK 😃

        Dude, I went to HS in Santa Ana!  I'm going to PM you LOL

        I've been to the SE store in SF once, long ago!  I shop from S&S all of the time now (just got a package from them yesterday) but have never been in the store.  We're planning on heading up to visit my brother for Thanksgiving.  I was thinking of dragging him with me to S&S to and buy him a hoodie or something 🙂

        I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of going through the Outer Sunset area of SF but it looks amazing!  SF in general just has so much great food, fashion, and I adore that weather!

        Blanket-line all the things!!!

          LOL yeah I just gave my wife $$$ so that she could go on a spending spree and get what she wanted for herself. Not taking any chances this time around, @Paul9221  😃

          S&S is my fave almost solely because of all of the Real McCoy's that can be had there. I've snagged a zip hoodie, crew, and beanie from them. I'm on the fence about having some Wescos special ordered through them rn.

            Yes!!!  I picked up like 3 Real McCoy sweaters from S&S last year.  The sax blue zip-up is probably my favorite.

            I'd say the only sweatshirt I like more is the Strike Gold hoodie that SE sells.  It's SO soft!

            My daughter wants to check out the Berkeley campus while we're in the area this year.  If they're open, I'm hoping to stop by S&S while in the area.

              That campus is NUTS and so, so beautiful. How soon would she be applying/attending? And you're in luck: the S&S store is currently open for in-person visits. I'd know cause I just stopped off there about a month ago  😎

                I've had a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers for years. My son accidentally sat on them and split them in half a couple weeks ago. I ordered a new pair online for in-store pickup at my local shop.

                Never received an order confirmation email or anything, so after a couple days I called the store to ask if I could come pick them up, and they said, "yep! We've got them right here!" Went to pick 'em up no problem, and walked out happy.

                Couple days later, finally got my order confirmation email, followed by a ready to pick up email. Couple days after that got a "don't forget to pick up! Orders that aren't picked up after 7 days will be refunded!"

                Couples days later another don't forget to pick up email.

                Finally received a "sorry to say your order has been refunded due to not picking up" email, and the refund may take 3-5 days. Sure enough, I was fully refunded for the purchase.

                tl;dr: THANKS UNIVERSE!

                  My brother went there, so I visited it back in like '93?  It was amazing!

                  She's a sophomore now, so she'd be looking to start applying next year.  My goodness.  That just sunk in!  The girl doesn't even know how to drive yet LOL!

                  The timing and location is perfect!  I can buy my brother a sweater for taking us on a tour of the campus, and maybe size up some boots while I'm there 😉

                    Time flies dude. My half brother just sent his daughter off to college and I swear she was just a little baby, teething on toys.

                          Oh, dang, I realize now that I read through your post too quickly!  That's the opposite of "sucks"!

                          By quickly skimming, I thought that you had ordered them, they said they were ready for pick-up, and then they said "Sorry, order canceled".  My bad!

                            Apparently my new glasses (Moscot Lemtosh in Classic Havana with clip on shades) were waiting at the optometrist since the 9th.

                            I’m pleased!

                                Just got these Effector Tone glasses back from the optometrist today.  I bought them based off of the measurements from Rivet and Hide and am pretty happy with them.  The thick frames really help to take the attention away from my ugly mug…

                                    Though, I have to admit that I'm distracted by the phenomenal color, focus, and composition of that picture.  Great shot!  🙂

                                        Looks awesome. What frame size did you get? I'm considering to get a new frame as I lost my old one and my eyes are tired and is in need of one. I'm however considering the Lemtosh with nose pads.

                                          Knockaround’s the shit.  Inexpensive and worth every penny.  I have 7 pair and sent a few to a forum friend.  Can’t recommend them enough.
