I’ll keep an eye out. Buying stuff like that with Katie in tow is tricky. She’ll be watching my spending very closely.

No worries. My wife will keep Katie entertained so you can go on your shopping spree.

@popvulture I could be wrong, but I think @Giles has a pair of asymmetric frames from them...

He does. There are issues....The "gold" plating is rubbish and the nose pads on mine are not fit for purpose. Does not stop me from loving them though....

@Nik love the ceiling medallion

[Nik]

Thanks @steelworker its one of the reasons we bought this house

Just realized my most comfortable screen glasses (like reading glasses but for the computer work distance from the screen) are also made in Japan: Masunaga GMS116 with a super light titanium frame. Highly recommended.

@Tobi funny you bring this up, I was just getting ready to ask for recs for screen/glare glasses. We “upgraded” our monitoring equipment and the new screens give me major eye strain.

New Giorgio Armani sunnies.

Matsuda vibe there, really different

@Seul cool glasses and they have a Theo thing going on.

Dita Sequoias in matte black with green lenses from Ssense for $290. Finally glasses wide enough for my big head…

Been eying these Caddis Readers for over a year now. Chatted with @Graham at the party about them as he was also into them. Finally bit on some progressives. These are the Porgy Backstage. A Wayfarer style. One of the few that would fit my big head. The acetate is great and the lenses seem really nice. I’ll be getting more style for sure.

@Matt I dig those. Just checked out their website. As I’m in the market for some progressive lenses and new frames. Are these only readers? I’m opposite. News a progressive to see far and no magnification for close up. Looked at a couple frames on their site. Only saw reader progressives.

[Matt]

They do prescriptions and sunglasses as well. Should be on the drop down below readers. I’m not sure if they do reverse progressives though. If it’s not an option I’d email them. Also, make sure you get the 20% code. Once you sign up for emails you’ll get those all the time. They’re worth it.

FYI… the first pair I got, Muzzys, were really great looking but too small. Exchanging was extremely easy and crazy fast. They shipped the new ones before they even received the returns.

[Mizmazzle]

@Matt rad dude!! Imma check em out!

Did anyone else take advantage of the Sungod buy one, get one on Thanksgiving? I bought the Zephyrs for myself (or wife) and got the McLaren Sierras for free. I really like their glasses, super lightweight, the lenses are great, and priced well. Havent worn my JMMs in a long time.

I tried on a pair of @Papa-Nui's new Coral Cruiser sunglasses at Pickings and Parry in Melbourne.

They look good, I'm not sure how well my prescription would get on with them, though.
