Am I going to do any better than $190 for genuine (not eBay) Persol 2869s?

Lenses are quite personal. Some people like it, some dont. I personally dont like it because I feel like it is not a true sunglass if it isnt a solid color. But to each their own. In terms of does it look masculine? I think it can. I would stick with a solid color though, more of a classic/clean look

45 more min on the gilt Oliver Peoples thread

anyone have the Luis? or has anyone seen them in person?

i have a pair of the Arics, but I'm considering picking up a wrap around style, too. but these are a year or 2 old so I can't find them to try on anywhere

any thoughts on them?

I think I've now made some of the best screenshots from the movie MR 73 for you experts out there to come up with right type of glasses that Daniel Auteuil is wearing in this film, because as of now, I've only had some (quality) guesses, that I did appreciate, but they weren't spot on.

Man, I hope so much one of you might know what glasses he is wearing.

I've found some metal clip-ons but not flip-ups from Shurons which look like they will fit my Moscots.

keep in mind that if they dont fit perfectly they will have gaps and/or the shape will be twisted. If you are going to pay money for the clips, take it into a shp and have them custom made to the shape. I dont know what it will cost you in your area, but it shoulnt cost you more than $150 for polarized clip ons.

Thinking about these frames with some medium grey tinted lenses...

Thoughts?

Plastic that tires to look like wood

Any recommendations for reputable shops to buy Mosley Tribes from at a good price (with possible coupon codes)? The Gilt sale didn't have the color combination I was looking for - Silver and Midnight.

I just bought the new Wayfarer style from rayband

Classic black, i really like them. Nicer then the old style wayfarer. Just out of curiosity I bought a pair of $1 China wayfarer's. Couldn't really tell the difference except the lens were better in the real one. The plastic looks exactly the same. If your broke it might be the way to go. But if you buy the real thing, they are constructed nicely. Anyway, I got these with prescription lens, pretty nice. Classic looking style.

Doesn't the gilt sale not start for another like 4 hours? Can you see the merchandise available before it starts somehow?
