maybe depends from the price, for <$150. What brands would you recommend?
and have a model something like this,

or this one,


O&X has some exactly like that which will be a bit more than $200ish but great quality and I'm certain that they have both styles. Modo has some for $180ish for good quality. Eco by Modo has some for less than $150. Cheap Monday and Paul Frank might have some for around $150-180ish. Personally I think that you'll get the best value and bang for the buck if you extend your budget just a little bit. Happy hunting.

I was looking at lemtosh but their bridge is 24mm. Is it just exaggerated considering it has a keyhole shape and they measured it at its widest points? I usually wear 15-166mm nose bridge

O&X is a division of Kio Yamato.
Eco by Modo will not have all their frames on their website. Try looking finding a stockist.
For the price of Dita and Salt you could very well go with most well made frames.

Funny you say that. I was looking at a Lemtosh yesterday. The bridge is a 24mm but it fits like one that is much more narrow because the plastic is quite thick. The bridge size is measured from lens to lens, NOT the gap between the plastic. With that in mind, the bridge actually fits much more narrow than the measurements.

This is correct. Most frame manufactures won't update their websites very frequently unless it is a "lifestyle brand". Most of them are not in the marketing business and don't market themselves very well.

You are correct about the measurements although I don't know much about the mascot frames.

In my opinion. if you are looking to get progressive lenses in any frame go to a B&M. Depending on the fit of a certain frame, the lenses could or could NOT work. If you buy it online and find out that the progressives are not suitable, you will have wasted money on the frame. If you go to a B&M they will guide you in the right direction for a frame that is suitable for your progressive lenses.


What is B&M. A Google search didn't turn up anything.

But Dita are VERY well made.

I bought a pair of Levers over a year ago and i am still in awe when i look at them at the quality and craftmanship in them.

They are well worth the money - to me.:)

Yes, I'm sure they are made well. What I meant to say was that for that kind of money, you have a lot of options.
