I laughed at this aha, yeah not many people share the same taste with me. I love how loud everything is, and overdesigning can look amazing when styled properly. Most junya is very loud, I like it that way.

Opinions on these Persols? I go back and forth between 'great' and 'comically large'. The width is great, but I can't decide if the lenses themselves are too big. I wanted a pair of aviator style wire rim sunglasses, but I hate the classic aviator shape and rectangular aviators are always too wide on my face. I was going to put some brown prescription lenses in them if I keep them.

The PO0649 (or whichever is the smaller version) also looked good on me, I thought. But they might be too much when I shave the beard off. I need something that is fairly round...

That's cool. I'm too old for the loud stuff so I enjoy his toned down versions of the same patchwork aesthetic.

I have the Paraboot Michael, which are pretty amazing as far as shoes go. Great construction, leather, fit, last, look. Ive tried on the low profile deck shoes, which for some reason didnt fit my feet right, but as far as quality, Im pretty sure they are really solid.

and the Leon comparison above that is spot on. Glasses suit you, just don't go shooting anyone

scott.m · Jan 19, 2011

Horse ****, go with A

300zx1985 · Jan 19, 2011

DLester · Jan 19, 2011

Both ugly, dont like brown shoes

Blasphemy! All GATs are equal in His sight.

bananananana · Jan 19, 2011

I like the brown leather mmm sneakers the best so color wise I'm good with those. B is obviously a lot flashier, but not sure if it is in a good way or not. Trying to branch out more into casual shoes since most of my footwear is MC style stuff.
