Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

@tmg:

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

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

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.

New spectacles. My Moscot glasses have faired well so I stuck with them. I picked up the Lemtosh Sage.

[Jordonf9]

Mmmmm, Italian design

I prefer the eyewear from Han Kjobenhavn.

I prefer the eyewear from Han Kjobenhavn.

They are nice G.F. LOVE that color! I have a pair of his black selvedge denim laying in my room. I should really sell them as they taper too much for my taste….

My girlfriend has some of the glasses, they look great. Should look into some for myself too.

new pick up

I am thinking of these Andy Wolfs, hand made in Austria, pretty sharp looking with the semi-smoked lenses.

My new Effector Chorus glasses matching perfectly with W&A-Case 02…

My water buffalo horn E B Meyrowitz's "New Yorker".

If you ever happen to be in London old Bond Street do take a look at their shop in the royal arcade. The best bespoke glasses you will find in England.
