I got some Castro Grey Authentic's from the pack. Very comfy when wearing sockless. I also got a new pair of 511 rigid's to have fun with. :)

I don't think you can put a price on garbage.

As to Wayfarers being played out... yeah emo hipster d-bags wear them, but at the same time I think they are classic enough that they can still be worn well.


Aren't Rileys more rounded than wayfarers?

Yes, but still somewhat similar.

I picked mine up yesterday, I'll post photos in a second when I get a chance.

Ok here are my Oliver Peoples Riley with green lenses. I LOVE them.

They are similar to the Ray-Ban Wayfarer, but still pretty different. The frame is much thinner and lighter, as well as the lenses are more rounded. Despite being lighter and thinner they feel much more durable and well made than my old Ray-Bans. The faux shell is also wayyyyyyy nicer than the Ray-Bans, and the gold inlay in the frame (not visible) is a nice touch as well. I can't say enough how nice these are in person. The photos do no justice, but I only have a camera phone.
