Any idea what make/model those are? Aviators, duh, but I can't find any with the same gradient blue with black frames.

Does anyone know where they are selling the new Gatorz sunglasses (I'm not talking about the metal frames...but their NEW collection). I know they sell them online but I want to be able to try them on. Their "I AM" sunglasses look like they could pass for Ray Ban Wayfarers...but I want to try them on before I make the switch.

If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, check out their website http://www.gatorz.com/

Any suggestions for stores in the Southern California area??!

of course they look great but i think i'm having a backlash to all these iconic brands trading on heritage and upping the price plus collabs with designers.

What type of sunglasses will make a nose look smaller? The classic Persols?

Thinking about picking up a pair or Rileys but I'm torn on the colors (and the style I guess.)

Pretty interested in the Riley's in mahogany/viola, the Sheldrake in sycamore/green and the Gregory Peck in buff/green. Anybody own or have any experience with those?

I've read that OP are a bit **** in quality for the price, but I don't really have access to any other smaller/fringe brands. If there are any similar sunglasses in size and style I'd love to know them, just a bit apprehensive to pick them up without trying them on.

Hey guys,

I think I have a strange face shape (wide and oval), and often have trouble finding frames that fit my face well. I've gone through a few different pairs of Ray Bans as well as a dolce&gabanna, most of them in the teardrop/aviator style, but haven't really found any that I've really loved.

I picked out a pair of Persols today and think that they work pretty well for me. Any thoughts, or perhaps any advice on other frame shapes / brands that might work well for me? Furthermore, would anybody recommend Persol in terms of quality?

Thanks in advance! I'd appreciate any help.

Anyone have some insight on these....quality etc?

most persol frames are handmade in italy. they have a long history and are reputable. the website goes thru some of their developments like the "arrow" symbol is not just for branding but works with the hinges.. ive had a few pairs, just sold one and i really like the brand. its not over the top either.

never handled them but high end retailers like Oki ni sell them. id assume they are good quality.
