those 2994's are nice. they look like they'd fit me better than the more iconic ones. can't see the other pic though.

I have a huge head so I usually have a hard time finding sunglasses that fit. Do these work? They're Oliver Peoples Strummer:

Thanks

Which pair of Ray-Bans looks better on me? Bigger (4105) or smaller (2132)? Thanks.

The smaller ones look better on you.

Those are sweet with the orange photochromatic lenzes. Anyone know where to buy them in that colorway?

If not, I'm going to go with either the Amber brown w/ brown faded lenzes or the havana with the green/grey lenzes

Anyone seen these in person or know which would be more versatile? I have dark brown hair and tan/olive skin.

What's up with they grey/green lenzes? Are they noticeably green or basically dark grey? How do they look with the havana frames?

^almost anyone can rock the havana grey green or black photochromatic pair. i think the havana grey green is nicer than the pair i put up.

Interesting... I thought the grey/green lenzes may be a little difficult. I've also heard you can hardly see any green in the lenzes and its mostly grey (which I prefer).

When you say the black photochromatic, are you talking about the blue-ish lenzes. I figured those would be less versatile too because of the color...

Would you go polarized with these or not? I can get them about $100 cheaper if I get unpolarized....

grey green is a classic colorway for lenses. if the maker is good there will be no problem. it's an obvious dark green when you look closely but people will think you're just wearing a pair of dark lensed sunglasses. they go very well with the havana frame IMO.

i'm not sure about bluish. i mean the grey lensed black pair that sez photochromatic. if they are anything like serengetis they get darker in the sunlight but never look clear like regular glasses.

unpolarized/photochromatic if for driving. polarized for the beach/ water sports. i'd go for the cheaper option personally.

edit: just saw they say they are blue. i think you'd hafta see them in person but if they are really blue then they're not as classic looking as i thought. maybe the black pair w/ grey green could work instead but i feel that frame would work well on just grey lenses. i think the havana pair rocks and won't date like gradient lenses and is quite versatile.

Yea - I've seen pictures on ebay of the blue lenzes and they definitely look blue-ish more than grey.

I think I'm gonna go with the havana grey. Are these legit and are they cheaper anywhere else?
