Cain look nice, hopefully they're not too big... maybe I should just grab the vintage tort Loewy I saw for sale in some Europe shop and call it a day. My Sturges are already pushing the upper bound of what I think works for me.

Some pics of the Cain that Eric @twelvesixtynine sent over - they look very nice, like a more angular Molino.

As for me, I think my next frame will be the Fellini in Surplus :)

The temple hardware is angled incorrectly and isn't parallel with the acetate arms. Just looks completely wrong to me.

Damn it, can't unsee it haha. I don't go for the visible hardware on any of my frames, thankfully.

WTS: Torino Noir, worn a few times but great conditions. Let me know if anyone's interested and I'll take some pics!

Really?
I think that’s one of the things I go for - sets them apart from other brands.
My thoughts exactly. Making the hardware visible may not work for each color, and the wiring detail is much nicer for some models than others that make exposing the wiring a better choice. But it actually goes into my decision whether I like or would buy a particular frame or not.

I totally get that, and do think the detailing looks amazing - just doesn't mesh well with the clothes I wear unfortunately.
