stylish eye glasses - Page 34

LA Eyeworks makes quality frames. I used to carry them and found that they had unique styles at the time. People generally came back looking for the same brand. But those frames do look cool.

I cant seem to find a picture of it online. But O&X from the Kio Yamato Group has a acetate frame that looks sort of like that. It has a diamond shaped rivet on the front. And the temple has a triangular profile. Try finding a store with O&X.

I was hoping somebody might be able to point me towards some frames similar to the Paul Smith PS-437. (Oliver People's Paul Smith site has been broken for some time so that's the only link I could find.) Unfortunately the only store in my city that carries the Paul Smith line also carries a line of sleazy used car salesman opticians that I don't want to deal with. I'd like to see if I have other options.

I'm specifically looking for something like a smoked/demi grey, not black/brown/crystal/tortoise etc. There is of course the classic and much more affordable Shuron Freeway in demi grey but the frames seem a bit chunkier than I would like.

Anyone know a good place for frames in the Edmonton area...? Would love to try on the Moscot Emile's or Hesh's, but have no way to.

I dont know of any distributors in Canada yet. They do have a distributor for europe though.

Who knows, maybe I will become the next distributor for them....hahaha...just kidding.

Is there anyway to try them on without flying to Europe? haha

Thoughts on these Oliver's? Leaning towards brown...

I'd go with the brown too.

+1. I received the Ray Ban 5121, but they didn't really work for my face. They only make them up to a 50mm size, which I guess is too small for me. These come in 54mm, I think I'm going to give them a shot:

50 is quite small for a mens frame. 54 is much more of an average size.

too grandpa?
too hypebeasty?

or

workable semi-nerdy eyeglasses?

Observatory Optical on Whyte carries Moscot.

Awesome, thanks.

I like them, but the 44mm size is really small.

I know I'm in self-imposed internet exile, but I had a question about prescriptions and whatnot. The eye doctor always says I don't need glasses, but when I'm shooting my camera, I set the diopter 2-3 clicks away from neutral to see the viewfinder sharply, and I tried my friend's glasses on the other day and saw better through them than I do without them. What's up with that?

Also, does insurance cover frames? I'd want OP Rileys, but couldn't afford 'em at retail sans insurance.
