Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

@popvulture not sure if this will help (but hope it does). I spent a while researching these a couple of months ago but never took it further. They look great, seem to be well made and the engraving really appeals. In the end I decided I’d rather spend on other stuff as I’m only likely to wear sunglasses once or twice a year!
JMMs have never really appealed to me (I feel I should apologise for such heresy on here
), so I can’t offer any comparative views. -
Hey, nothing wrong with not finding something appealing! There are quite a few JMM pairs that get way too flashy for me.
I might see if there’s anywhere in LA I can check out some Masudas while I’m out here. I’m up to my ass in clothes and really need to put the brakes on buying anything new in that dept, but I’ll always go check out some shades.
EDIT yup, more than a few retailers

Aren’t you going to the IH party soon Matt and could get glasses there or on the trip?

I’ll keep an eye out. Buying stuff like that with Katie in tow is tricky. She’ll be watching my spending very closely.
No worries. My wife will keep Katie entertained so you can go on your shopping spree.

@popvulture I could be wrong, but I think @Giles has a pair of asymmetric frames from them...
He does. There are issues....The "gold" plating is rubbish and the nose pads on mine are not fit for purpose. Does not stop me from loving them though....

@Nik love the ceiling medallion

Thanks @steelworker its one of the reasons we bought this house

@Tobi funny you bring this up, I was just getting ready to ask for recs for screen/glare glasses. We “upgraded” our monitoring equipment and the new screens give me major eye strain.

Matsuda vibe there, really different

Been eying these Caddis Readers for over a year now. Chatted with @Graham at the party about them as he was also into them. Finally bit on some progressives. These are the Porgy Backstage. A Wayfarer style. One of the few that would fit my big head. The acetate is great and the lenses seem really nice. I’ll be getting more style for sure.
-
@Matt I dig those. Just checked out their website. As I’m in the market for some progressive lenses and new frames. Are these only readers? I’m opposite. News a progressive to see far and no magnification for close up. Looked at a couple frames on their site. Only saw reader progressives.
-
They do prescriptions and sunglasses as well. Should be on the drop down below readers. I’m not sure if they do reverse progressives though. If it’s not an option I’d email them. Also, make sure you get the 20% code. Once you sign up for emails you’ll get those all the time. They’re worth it.
FYI… the first pair I got, Muzzys, were really great looking but too small. Exchanging was extremely easy and crazy fast. They shipped the new ones before they even received the returns.
