I like “boring” frames like Fellini, Plaza or even Enzo.

The only one that’s too boring to me is the Molino.
I'm very similar. I even think that the Enzo is a bit too boastful. I love the frame, and I'm jealous of people who have the confidence and face to pull it off. I have my Dark Havana Dealan, and I'm gonna pick up the Leonard in Teak (very nostalgic looking frame for me). Definitely want to pick up a Plaza and/or Fellini
I prefer a more subtle look. Novel enough to encourage some stolen glances, maybe a double take or two, but not so flamboyant that they demand attention.

LMFAO at the 2001 (which is made in Italy BTW).



The frame itself doesn’t really add anything new to the table but hickory is a really nice colourway. I wore my hickory Taos today after getting the original lenses installed yesterday (I had swapped them for light brown ones in an attempt to replicate the teak Hemmings look, but the ones I put didn’t had a gradient so they ended up looking a bit plain).
Finally. A frame wide enough for this feller’s (that is, my) fat face. I’ve been complaining about all the narrow offerings lately, so I think JJ perhaps heard my criticism.

We laugh, but this is probably someone's Grail frame and it'll sell on Ebay for $8k.
Won’t be my $8k lol!

Love the Heywood in hickory
Just saw those - very nice and hickory is a great colour.

Would like to see on the face pics to gauge the size.

It seems my own taste goes towards conventional shaped and sized frames like these but generally in bright colours. I have a couple each of blacks and browns and reckon hickory and camel hit that sweet spot between generally conventional colours but with just a bit of a twist to set them apart.

There is a video on their IG showing off the Heywood on some faces. The shape is quite nice but they appear to be on the larger side clocking in at 148 total width, which is approaching Torino territory

Liking the Heywood, and I'm a sucker for the Black Fade. Hickory is pretty nice too, though.

Me too, the old black fade with the blue/greenish lenses is one of my favorite colorways and im very mad about not having it in my collection.
