I agree, they come in different sizes, so just go up in size!

I've been considering those recently, as well as the discontinued "Bailey", but cannot find the Bailey in black. Really dig the black frame/brown lens combo. Do you have any pics of people wearing the Arnaud?

Looking at picking up another pair of sunglasses and was looking at Mosley Tribes but couldn't decide between either the Lyndel or Free City 2. Anyone have any experience with either? Thanks

Geeky recommendation for whatever you get, get it polarized. Especially for driving. Light bouncing off the road gets polarized when it's reflected in one direction (horizontally) and the polarized sunglasses cut that part of the light out, eliminating just the glare and leaving all of the other light intact. To give a simple explanation :)

This also works for light reflected off water. I have a vague memory of it also helping on overcast days but I can't find anything on google about that now. Another amusing effect, any kind of LCD screen like a laptop, cellphone display, LCD TV is already polarized so if you rotate your head 90 degrees you can completely filter out all of the light from it making it look black. And if you see a car with polarized windows you can see some funky rainbow style effects too.

Usually costs a bit more though.

Where can I try on the Salt Terry's in the DC/Metro area? Nordstrom was supposed to have them but they carry a limited selection of Salt (Tyson's).

Not the best picture, but can anyone identify these shades Philip Crangi is wearing?

Salt's retail locator lists Eye Central of DC, 653 Pennsylvania Avenue SE as a dealer.
