Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

[Finkster]

Choosing for eyeglasses sucks!
After weeks months of research online and in some opticians are these glasses the current favorite .. not satisfied at all  ::)

[rocket]

try and I mean try, harder….

[Finkster]

will do my best

[Jordonf9]

While not a brand to know eyewear by….still do make some good pairs. The original penguin, the Clyde

@Finkster dunno what style you liking for

[Finkster]

Thx for the input, buddy 

The glasses are not bad, but the colouring is too loud and the frame a bit boring  :-\  …
whatever - my personal deadline is End of June .. insofar .... blessedly, I'm not under pressure. 

Edit: Cheers for the advice with 'Original Penguin' .. there are some nice other types / frames 

for example ->

[Finkster]

worth considering

I have a pair of persol 2965 v in tortoise….. Never got lenses in then besides demo. @Finkster they are wider then the pair you posted

[tmg]

Anyone have a pair of Retrosuperfuture glasses, or know anything about them? I'm looking at the America or Classic

[Jordonf9]

Never go lens fitted….so just sitting here useless.

I find them a bit cheap feeling myself, and they're a bit fashion-y for my tastes.
The frames come off quite big and chunky. But that could also just be a personal preference!
I'm a noted fan of Moscot (mainly since I can get them for a very fair price personally) and find their shapes a bit more classic.
I need to get into Japanese eyewear honestly, just unsure of where to start.

Mates have bought some from cubitts and also Bailey & Nelson.

Handmade by them and pretty damn reasonable pricing. May not be what you are after though!

Boy, oh boy …
I guess, the perfect eyeglasses are .. a new pair of boots + contact lenses

My pleasure mate. Good luck and hope you like them!

[Finkster]

It's done .. I've made my decision -> PERSOL 3050 V 966

… and I'm very happy, I can devote my time again for more pleasant things. 

Thx a lot to all for the assistance - esp. @Jordonf9 for the inspiration with Persol Glasses.

Currently Have: EFFECTORfuzz X Vanquish … Wifey got the other, since they were a tad too small for me️

Currently Want: UnCROWD Crown, Hilux, or Bluebird

[Finkster]

^ Jesus .. that's heavy eyewear!    … How much do the weigh?

[BrownIcon]

'Fuzz is 8mm Japanese Acetate.
I believe the Uncrowds are 8mm, as well … But, EFFECTOR has versions in 10mm, even

Chromeheart TNUC__ also @8mm, but a bit heavier due to the silver ware.
