Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Last summer holidays I discovered "True Vintage Revival" (TVR Opt) in Åhus, Sweden. They were unfortunately above my budget but they seem really, really nice.

@Heavy_blue Good question for you^^^^^

[Bums_Fan]

@the246guy not a leather pouch, but I have this hard case and find it able to accommodate larger JMM style glasses without issue. The seller is a good communicator and the product quality is top notch.

Ship John makes leather cases, but they may be bulkier than the “pouch” you’re after….

My research led me to this one: https://darksails.fr/products/black-leather-glasses-case

Ship John also looks interesting!

@the246guy if you’re looking for a handmade pouch ask @gouki74 he makes amazing leather stuff and is fully customized to your liking. Then again a hardcase is thr best protection not only for the glass but also to keep the overall fit of the frame etc

@Heavy_blue Have you run across anything in the optical suppliers that would work or do you have anything is store that would be suitable?

[A Former User]

@goosehd not in leather. We have several hardcases. We spend a lot of time by fixing the frame to each and every nose/face. This is a very precise work and to maintain that for as long as possible a good sturdy case is a good help especially if you carry it around for a lot. In the end it’s the customer who makes there decision but since glasses is a made to measure item you want to protect it. That’s why i advised to go custom so you can build your own tank of a case if you don’t wanna go ‘hard’

Hi all - I’m contemplating getting a necklace loop to put my glasses on while I’m not wearing them. I’m finding I’m needing to take them on/off quite a lot and putting them in and out of the case so much is a bit of a faff. Does anyone else use one (and would recommend one)?

I wear a 21” silver ball chain with some GAH pendants. They make a glasses loop but I never have any problems just dropping it right on the chain. I also switched to progressives to avoid having to take them off all the time. Nowadays I have some nearsightedness so no need to take them off much anymore.

Snapped up some Maui Jim Kenui at a good price online. Relieved that they fit quite good.

[Giles]

Those are great. Great fishing lenses, does the shop (if it was s hopp) you bought them from have any more left?

[Tobi]

@Giles Bassol Optic out of Barcelona... Almost 150 Euro less than in DK, 1 day delivery UPS and checked that they are a listed dealer...

[Giles]

Great - thank you very much.....

[Giles]

And what style please?

[Tobi]

@Giles Kenui, frame shiny translucent light pink, lenses super thin glass Maui rose. They are glass lenses.. so a bit more scratch resistant, but not ideal for active sports where there can be impacts.

[Giles]

You should be the model for them. They look a bazillion times better on you than the product images

My problem is that just about everything I do is an unintended impact sport

I'm looking for retro styled eye glasses that don't cost a fortune. I've got to many expensive habits already. Looked at JMM but $$$ anything similar? Effector was a possibility but I read they're very narrow. I'm a large x large frame. W i d e face. Currently bored with mine. pic for reference. IH type III in the shot. 14oz

[Giles]

@Tobi

Got mine thanks ….

[dinobarnesberlin]

@Giles They look great on you and Tobi both--remember, low impact lol
