As for Barton Perreira, I'd go with Swindlers, Stirlings or Gonzales' for a square style and with Breed Loves for an aviator style. I've ordered the Breed Loves ( 62 ) in Gold/Cubano Snake Leather myself two days ago and can't wait to finally hold them in my hands ( not to mention wear them on my nose )...

I dig em man. The whole aviator/state trooper look for sunglasses has actually caught on with me.
I've also had a lot of compliments from the lady friends on them, so they must be doing something right to my head.

These are nice too. I think I prefer the Breed love model though.

Nice, another option.

So my old glasses finally broke (after almost ten years of service

) and now I'm looking for new John Lennon-type glasses. I found this:

Do they look like something like I should get? I mean the technical details; is there something about them that looks it might break after a day or so?

they're not that ubiquitous. yeah, they look like Wayfarers, but the arms are a lot thinner, which is probably what he likes about them.

Exactly, thanks Strombollii.

They appear to have a rectangular red and white logo on the arms, I just wish I could work out what brand that is.

found a pair of randolph engineering shades for $2.00 today. BAM

Does anyone know off the top of their head a pair of sunglasses that look like Wayfarers but don't have quite such a large lens vertically? I think I've seen a few around; they're basically Wayfarers with a degree of subtlety. Thanks.

 

[Strombollii]

New Wayfarers?

Does anyone know what type of sunglasses Timothy Olyphant wore in A Perfect Getaway?

Here is a link to the image - > http://www.imdb.com/media/rm246974464/tt0971209

Glasses are pretty sick. Want to know where to find them? Anyone help??

Wayfarers are for hipsters. But I like them. My pair got stolen and now I need a new pair. ***** sake.

Yeah that's probably them. If not then they're pretty similar.

Hey I was wondering if these sunglasses would be good for someone with a large face?
