I dunno, I've seen them at various franchise eye frames places. Lots of manufactures make that style, the thick black frames with round or square edges. Just get the lens that change color in the sun. Don't cut your hair or bush your teeth and find a spaz to harass and you'll be just like Kenny.

I love that movie "Loser" with Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari; you know the one where your thumb and index finger are used to make an "L" on your forehead to signify that you're a loser. I really love the music video by Wheatus called "Teenage Dirtbag" by Brendan B. Brown. What are those glasses he is wearing during the video? Anybody?

http://www.urbanspectacles.com/indeximages.htm The site was posted earlier but this page wasn't. Shows some really cool designs in addition to their wood pieces. The Styx "Paradise Theater" vinyl one is so badass, not a huge fan of the shape but the holographic vinyl is so cool

Those might be a bit harder to find because they are slightly dated. You would have found tons of those around the mid to late 90s. If you are looking for something like that, try looking in stores that carry older stock. You will get them at a huge discount.

I occasionally go back to that site because I really like what they do. The pieces look amazing. Personally, I dont think I would wear them everyday BUT I would wear them once in a while and most likely put them on display in my house or something. I think that the frames have a "back to basics" vibe to them. But they will have their pros and cons if you are wearing them everyday... But all in all, I really like them.

Have you any idea where online I could find a pair like that? I like in North Dakota so we don't have too many stores that are 'sunglass specific'.

To be honest, I have no idea who sells them online, but if you have a particular style in mind I could help you search the net for something...

Yeah, well, could you help me search for a pair close to the ones Kenny Hotz wears? I have several pairs of Oakleys and I just kinda want something new. I was going to buy the Oakley Jupiters but I wanted something that wasn't Oakley.

Can you suggest some brands that carry similar styles as below in a wider size? I have a fathead 55mm width and looking for some plastic frames with thin temple with the rivets. TIA

Hugo Boss 0058. It comes in a 56mm (wow! that is big). Also it doesn't have rivets, it just has a small Hugo Boss name plate on the side. Simple but lacks the "vintage" feel to it. Great seller and the price is reasonable in the under $200 range.
