My GF has a pair of SALT Adler.

She liked em, but doesn't wear them anymore..
Helped her pick them out… Fit and finish is flawless.

Thanks, El, good to know.  Hopefully get to check them out this weekend.  Like the fact that they use glass lenses.

Some links for us guys 'n' girls in the UK !

I have some frames from Opera Opera (Harpers), The quality is first class and they're made in the UK.
Cutler & Gross have 2 shops in London, more or less opposite Harrods, one sells their current range & the other sells older & vintage stock. They're about 5 doors apart.
Roope Vintage sell a fantastic variety of frames but I don't think the frames are the best quality compared to the others mentioned.

these are my favourites … have a look
outstanding quality ... I wear my frames now over 4 years and they still fit perfect

Picked up a new pair of prescription Maui Jim's today (model: Akamai), what'd you think?

[Giles]

Very nice love Maui Jims - especially good for fishing

[Tripleterror]

[hectic]

Cheers lads.

G, yeah, these are polarized, I had half a mind on the fly fishing when ordering.

I think they're rad!

The hinges on my first pair corroded in the salt water environment I usually fish in, so I use Costa Del Mar with 580 lenses now when fishing in the tropics:

I've got about 5 pairs, never ever had an issue with them.  Well of course, I've had user problems.  Often when we are motoring from a to b, I pop them up on the rim of my cap, trouble is at 40 knots, the wind will get under the beak of the cap and blow the cap off.  The cap floats, Costas don't…...........
