Ralph Lauren Purple Label Aviators

[ralphandricky1967]

What do you guys think of these? I already have a pair of Gucci aviators, but these are a little different.

I like them, but I have alwas been a fan of nice aviators.

Do you think they are a little too bling?

Close. But I like them. Not too bling for me.

Cool, I wasn't sure. It's always good to get a few second opinions, especially on a bigger ticket item. I usually don't shell out this kind of $ for shades but these look pretty classic and are made very well. Do you guys have any idea who makes these for Ralph Lauren?

Nice glasses, nice pics. They look a little small.

Actually I was thinking they might be a little too big for my face...ha!

Don't like the mirror coating. I wouldn't pay the RL premium for aviators. I have two pairs- one from American Optical and the other form Randolph Engineering. They are the real deal.

^ That would be my issue as well. If you can grab them at a good (well below RLPL retail price), however, then go for it.

very nice.

I am not a fan of aviators at all. For me I would rather have a nice pair of tortoise shell sunglasses.

They should be Persol. I have two pairs of RLPL specs and both are Persol.

... Although these are the least Persol looking RLPL's I've seen. Are they made in Italy.
