Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

You guys are rockin' some serious lookin' glasses. Though they are too "heavy" for my taste nowadays (well except Geo's Ditas, luckily they are too big for my head, I checked the meas.)

I remember the days when BIG glasses were in fashion, and I also had to have them…Can't do it anymore.

I remember when I got my first "Buddy Holly" glasses in school, it was around 1. May. My english teacher looked at me and said" Injun, now you had your funny moment, back to your normal glasses and start studying." Was she embarrassed when I told her that they were my new real glasses. Nobody had such in around 1980 here, Totally unfashionable, but young teddyboy was proud of them.

These are mine at the moment, kids hate the round ones. I had almost similar pair as the squares, but in grey and metallic orange frame. Lost them last summer, EFF.

Geo

Mine did

Anyway apparently the 'cheapest' frames are $550 and depending on finish and jewels go to $50,000

Most non-jewelled are around the $750-1000 mark

@Geo:

check out the loveliness of these handmade zyl acetate and gold plated machined titanium beauties

These look great!

Did you buy them in the UK?

If so, can I ask where please?

Geo

There is a place in Glasgow now stocking them - Niche Optical Tailor www.nicheopticaltailor.co.uk (who also do the leisure society stuff I posted)

But I have some really great friends over in the States who sorted me out on the statesman
