        Thanks. They’re really not half bad. I’m always reluctant to pounce on those ads because they’re so ubiquitous and usually shit. Got lucky.

          Those look good!

          I have to admit that I've purchased quite a few things off IG ads, and so far, everything has been pretty great.

            This raybans look pretty nice, Matt, but you should check out these ones that I got—they’re the best sunnies I’ve gotten in a while. https://www.mvmt.com/mens-sunglasses/trap/M0511.html?dwvar_M0511_color=Black%20%2B%20Grey%20Lens&dwvar_M0511_polarization=NO

              I saw those @sabergirl They’re very nice, esp the color you got.  I actually don’t need sunglasses at all.  I have some Ray Bans, two pair of Sunskis and a whole bunch of cheap Knockarounds. Check those out if you want some fun glasses that you won’t mind losing or breaking.

              I just don’t have any $600 designer Japanese sunglasses.  And based on my wife’s reaction to them I won’t have any in the near or distant future.

                With regard to the quality of the glass, nothing I've tried beats the Maui Jim Super Thin Glass. The polarization is so good that the world looks better with the glasses than without.

                The JMM have more beautiful frames, but the Maui Jim glass is unbeatable.

                  Agreed. @sabergirl I didn't realize yours were MVMT, that's cool–I thought they only made watches. CR39 lenses too. I already liked how they looked but they seem to be really good quality especially for the asking price.

                  I agree with @JDelage on the quality of Maui Jim lenses especially if you want polarized. I will say that they are not for me the only "rose-colored" glasses (meaning the world looks better with than without) that I've experienced–I feel that way about my (non-polarized) JMMs, though I wouldn't put them against Maui Jims for certain applications. I also like some polycarbonate Maui Jim lenses, in particular the copper ones in the Wiki Wiki gold colorway, which have a top-down gradient (not the combined top-down, bottom-up gradient you sometimes see in MJ). I like amber lenses that are only as tinted as they need to be, such that they can handle variable lighting conditions really well. Gradients can really enhance that characteristic, though my JMMs have done well so far without it.

                  Think it, be it.

                    Got the Dita "Haliod" frames today. On a bit of an eyewear binge recently. I've been eyeing the Dita Schema Two and JMM Fumio.

                        Ha! Good work @Giles. JMMs are quite the obsession around here (and rightly so).

                              Yeah man, I LOVE the thicc frames!  My Yvez are bigger but the frame isn't as thick.  I like that that Yvez have a warm tint to the lenses and the Donovan's have a blue tint.

                              No more glasses, I'm done! 😃

                                      I just caught up on the JMM thread that I didn't realize existed LOL.  Are you gonna pick up a pair of the Donovans?  I just saw you talking about them.

                                      I'm super happy with them and would definitely recommend them!  I kept fighting the temptation but the IG ad caught me at a weak moment last week 🙂

                                          Yeah, those Hopper x Taos are fantastic, and they look great on you!  Okay, I'll stop trying to lure you into buying more 😃
