I have a huge dome and a round face. Most glasses look like they're going to pop off my head.

They fit that woks best for me are the xtra large Rayban Aviators. The problem is that I think the round aviator looks funny with my round face.

Anybody know of any other brand that makes bigger (preferably square type) glasses?

BTW......I've gone to dozens of stores and they all seem to have the same small stuff.

Try Oliver Peoples, they make the same frame in different sizes.

I have a 7 3/4 head size. I like Serengeti Drivers. They have a nice sized lens and a timeless, elegant frame.

They look good to me. I have the same size head so they should fit. Thanks for the tip.

The Oliver Peoples are nice too but they're a bit out of the price range.

I have a huge noggin too - roundish, and have a pair of Gucci (model 1864 easy to find on EBAY) that fit great.
Also have a pair of Ray-Bans that also fit too.

I have a large head, too. Persol makes a nice variety of wider frames.

It might help if you posted a picture of yourself. My head isn't very large but very few glasses look good on me. I use Oliver Peoples for the look but also the quality. Love 'em!

I have a vast forehead... I recommend Police for Aviators or older model Gucci's for classic styles.
