Oliver Goldsmith makes some pretty good glasses. They use Carl Ziess optics which is the best you can do when it comes to plastic lenses.

I have a pair of Oliver Peoples and they are nice quality but I do not think I would buy them again. Maui Jim does not make the most stylish frames but when it comes to boating and driving their polarized glass lenses are the best.

I also own a pair of Randolf Engineering aviators and they are good quality but style wise and they are pretty poor. I bought them for flying but they always put a huge line across my forehead so I do not wear them anymore.

I want to get some nice tortoise shell sunglasses...I am thinking about some Persols.

thanks


BP doesn't make many plastic frames. If you like the Graduate check out the INSIDER and the ENTREPRENEUR.

Also check out Oliver Peoples ZED.

I find most Oakley's kind of ridiculous unless you're on tour in the military.
