I recently acquired a pair of Buffalo Horn sunglasses and a pair of Macassar ebony wood sunglasses.
Can someone explain to me the advantages of these materials over standard sunglasses material (outside of appearance)?
Thanks in advance.
It's not a functional advantage, just nicer and more exclusive materials with a unique look. In my experience, buffalo horn is actually less comfortable than good acetate, since it can't be bent to fit better. You also need to be more careful with it, since it can delaminate if subjected to rough use.
