Can anyone recommend me a good website for glasses/sunglasses with a liberal return/exchange policy? Most of the ones I've seen are very sport oriented.Originally Posted by c00kz

Any one have any opinions on the Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarer 4105? Thinking about getting them in the tortoise color..Originally Posted by Burr130
We just got a few of these in stock; we like them a lot and the style and obviously the convenience factor of being able to fold them up.

Thank you in advance
That's a take on a classic Persol look (those aren't actually Persols). Urban Outfitters currently has the knock-offs.

One rarely-mentioned classic is the American Optical Saratoga (below). These were worn by JFK and were touted by GQ's Style Guy Glenn O'Brien as the "perfect sunglasses". They're similar to Ray-Ban's Wayfarer, but the arms are slimmer and the rims have a different shape.

The worst part about those is they just look like $5 knockoff wayfarers to the average person.

I saw that post in AAAC awhile back, but I don't believe they are made anymore are they?Originally Posted by ahe
Yeah, they were discontinued in the 60's but they can be found on eBay and Klasik.org. I might have seen a pair on Allyn Scura too.

I agree, that's one reason why I wouldn't shell out for them. But if I were given a choice between these and Wayfarers, I'd roll with the 'Togas (With the exception of the black/crystal/grey fade Wayfarer IIs. I like those).
