Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

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

@Tobi

Got mine thanks ….

[dinobarnesberlin]

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

[Tobi]

@Giles lookin good! They are a bit on the heavy side, but that has never detered anyone on this forum

[Giles]

The lenses are great and although they are heavy, I don’t really notice that when I’m wearing them.

I had them shipped to my friend who was on the boat with us last week, he lives in France. He liked them so much, he bought a pair for himself

@CosmoSix5 Check out Masunaga

My birthday present from @Madame-Buttonfly . Specced at the September party and finished a few days ago.

Bold of London.

Loved the look of the Maui Jim Kenui sunglasses above, jumped at the chance to grab a pair when I saw em recently. The glass is amazing

[DeeDee85]

@jerkules really like those!

@jerkules Aloha …fits you great.

@Giles curious if you got your pair of Kenui shades from Bassol Optic. If so, was it shipped to UK and were you hit with any import duties? My wife is eyeing my recent pair and they suit her, but might grab her the pink/tan version. Bassol Optic are quite a bit cheaper than anywhere in UK, but I’m cautious that I’ll be hit with massive charges that would make it simpler to just stick with a UK retailer.

[Giles]

I did, but I had them delivered to a friend in France…

@DeeDee85 @PJ maholo gents!

[jerkules]

@Giles sensible. Thanks anyway, will weight up the risk/benefit and decide what to do.
