Help with sunglasses?

Hi, I've got these certain type of sunglasses on my mind, but haven't just found them yet ...so if anyone could direct me to what I'm looking for, I'd really appreciate it! What I'm looking for is something narrow with a pretty straightforward geometry in the vertical direction both on top and bottom of the frame, i.e. that the height of the frame surrounding the lenses does not vary making the lenses rectangular rather than oval. However, in the horizontal dimension they should be somewhat streamlined to follow the "circumference" of my face(sunglasses vs. regular frames). Again the width of the part starting at the hinge and ending at the front of the ear should remain constant throughout its length and be of equal width with the width of the part surrounding the lens. That's pretty much it and the colour has got to be polished black, but most of all I'm interested in finding the right shape. Here's something for you to go on. The only problem with thish pair is that they protrude at the hinges i.e. they're not stramlined in the horizontal direction: http://www.go-optic.com/enlarge.asp?...41&cat=DFRAMES

these, on the other hand have ALMOST the right geometry ...but are just a little too cheap-looking, and have no fitting what so ever for the nose: http://www.cpostores.com/balloonandn.../15-83-103.jpg
Thanx again for your help!

Don't know if this will help, but i've bought sunglasses from http://max-sunglasses.co.cc/ and they've always been good.

Not sure if they will have the style your looking for, but the quality is excellent.

They seem to add new sunglasses pretty regular, and cover all kinds from 'designer' to water sports to skiing etc, so they may be worth a visit.

Seriously though, sounds like you need wrapped rectangular glasses. How about just hitting up your local shops and trying stuff on?

I always want to try on sunglasses before I buy. For that reason I suggest buying in person.
