Frankly, to me, spending that much on sunglasses seems ostentatious and wasteful. The only reason I have AOs is I picked them up on an Army post for around 30 bucks retail. Or if you get prescription glasses and you can get them covered by your vision insurance or whatever, I'd do that, and have done that. But for me, spending so much on such an item seems overly indulgent. What if you sit on them and break them?

I don't like the right angle the brogueing takes. If it was rounded I would say get it.
