Ask me about Eyewear!

Im not sure about their sunglasses but i think the glasses are more acetate emphasis with titanium cores. or with temples consisting of precious metals like sterling silver in their higher end designs. I was just recently looking for new glasses and went thru their catalog lol.

I own the M3057 and it is one of my favorite sunglasses.

I'm curious if anyone knows the maker of these glasses. My guess is that they are a custom made pair but i just really like the design.

Hi to all the members . I wanted to share with you some photos of my recentky received sunglasses by Leisure Society. It is the model Eden Rock in Antique Silver . It is easy the best sunglasses i have ever worn . The quality of the frame and the lenses are incredible and you have to hadle the sunglasses in person to understand that. I would like to thanks all the members of the forum for all the informations they are providing and especially @Tsujigiri.

Any opinions on the quality of these?

Hand made in Italy not a brand I’ve come across before. But with. the parlous state of frames available due to Covid they are good option fit well and oh special.

How are Native Sons' lenses? I don't know if they're polarized, etc.

From my experience, lenses don't seem to be a priority for Native Sons. They're good but nothing special. I've never seen them be polarized.

Thanks for sharing. I really like the look of these and have been investigating the brand but have yet to get my hands on some. Did you get a good deal? From a B and M store or online?
I went to a shop yesterday supposedly a stockist. The lady said she can order them but doesn’t stock them. That’s no good to me, I’m not contemplating taking a punt on expensive shades without even trying them on.
She was a good salesperson and had me trying on many pairs. Took a liking to some cool looking titanium Ditas but they weren’t made ‘en bloc’ like yours.
Anyway good to see you’re happy with your new toy!

Thank you so much. I did not try them at all but i have an "easy" face and i usually have good luck by choosing after reading the measurements. I got a very good deal from an online retailer , with the option to return them back during 15 days of the delivery. It is my first pair from Leisure Society and i think would be too diffucult for me to choose another brand in the future as the quality of the frame and lenses is really oustanding.

What high-end brands put high-end lenses in their sunglasses frames?

On a similar topic, who makes Maui Jim's ultra thin glass lenses, and can they be bought & put into a different frame (by a professional of course)?

Check the brands. Some fit with Essilor lenses and others with Zeiss.
Maui jim will only fit their lenses into their own frames. They will not it put it into other frames. And they only put it in certain frames of their own.

What is the best name for that type of frames? Browline? Clubmaster? Collegiate?

 

[d4nimal]

I've never heard collegiate actually. I've always said clubmaster and browline. I like that Eyevan model, though.

What's your opinion on UK boutique brand Cubitts and this La Dolce Vita homage model?

@styleforumfan - I think those flat-top are generally not very flattering. This one is also very feminine, IMHO.

I found the Eyevan 736 online; I should get it in a few days. My first pair of "nice" sunglasses were the Ray-Ban Clubmaster so there's some nostalgia involved...
