Yah I don't get how why you shop online/via phone and live in NYC. I mean I know you live in Battery Park which is almost Staten Island; but, it wouldn't be that hard for you to come uptown.

Seemed a little overhyped and some of my friends agreed. A lot of volume but not very edited. I did like atelier though ended up picking up some shoes there, Maxfield is very similar and is getting better.

They are my Thom Browne sunglasses.


Those look nothing like Wayfarers. Here are my Wayfarer inspired Cutler & Gross frames:

does anyone own a pair of the tortoise shell 2140's with the polarized brown lenses? it's the pair i want but can't find a real pic of them online other than the same bite-sized stock pic. i want a closer look at these lenses before i make the purchase.

also does anyone know if the polarized tortoise 2140's come in any other color than brown?

I recently found a pair of the new blue ones that someone left at my lakehouse. Will probably never wear them though unless it is to a theme party. I searched ebay and can't find them even though they are on rayban's official site (maybe they are rare and I can ask a lot of $???). I have a pretty big head so I have both a black and tortoise shell pair in the larger size.

The green lens are the G15's - non polarized (not as good/less expensive).

I'm worried that my RB2132 New Wayfarers may be too big for my face. I know they come in three sizes, but I'm not entirely sure which one I have. In addition to the model (RB2132), color code (901), "55◻18" is also written on the inside of my glasses. Is this referring to the size? Is this the small, medium, or large model? Thanks!

New Wayfarers come in two sizes: 52mm (small) and 55mm (large). You have the large size.

My girlfriend just got me a pair of tortoise shell New Wayfarers. They're fantastic. Makes me want to go outside right now.
