I've been looking for something very similar to these for a long time, and I cannot, for the life of me, find them. Then I found this photo, so, I know they exist! I believe they are Ray-Ban, but I can't find the proper style. It seems they are larger than the ones on their site, so maybe they're not: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/689/55944517.jpg/

The style comes from standard safety glasses. The style has been around at least since the 60s.
I wear the Titmus 70F. I have 2 pairs, one with clear lens and another with tinted lens. I laugh because people think I paid $200-$300 for them.

If you're looking at RayBan you're probably thinking of the Wayfarers. They're a fairly iconic model from RayBan and a common go-to for people looking for big plastic rims.

They look similar to Wayfarers, but they seem a little larger. They just look like a RayBan frame, though. It doesn't really matter to me who makes them, I've just been looking for a style like this and can't find one. Those Titmus 70F are pretty cool, but the frames seem smaller yet, judging by the picture.

Are there different sized frames in the wayfarer?
