Chunky's good dude

I'm chunky and girlies wanna do me

Knockarounds are great.
You want the fast lanes. I got the Torrey Pines

I scored some Tom Ford Wellington sunglasses (pic related) for $129 shipped on Black Friday. How’d I do /fa?

Posting my collection to piss off the haters.

>>15756827
Hello anon with the cool vuarnet pouilloux glasses, which ones in your collection are best for a wide face?

>>15756827
do any of these come in mens?

>>15756892
Not like you could pull off men's clothes anyway faggot.

>>15756892
come in men's arseholes?

>>15756830
plastic aviators which is what my collection largely consists of are great for wide faces.
>>15756892
Stay mad faggot. Enjoy your wayfarer derivatives.

After researching non luxottica brands I found Kuboraum. Does anyone have experience with them? I just impulse bought pic related.

>>15756915
what's the model name. no experience with them but they seem interesting. How much you part with?

>>15756923
The model is C2. I paid $130 after using a coupon. Same price I paid for the TF’s in >>15756791. I’ll probably end up keeping TF regardless.

>>15756932
they're interesting but I'm not a fan, they just feel like another wayfarer derivative and are boring though less boring that most.

>>15756939
I already have a pair of Persol 714s and 9714s which are probably my favorite go-to sunglasses. Wanted something non-folding that were not wayfarers but with tougher frames that I could throw around.

>>15756959
I can't fault someone for buying what they like. It seems like you made a good choice and the price is very nice.

Does anyone have a decent chart about glasses and face shapes?

Vuarnet District 1618 or 1622

>>15757680
1618. They're kinda bland though.

cop or not? 1/2

2/2

idk if I should go for orange or green reflective coating.

Why is it that pretty much everyone just wears wayfarers and their derivatives?

>>15757929
Because luxxotica has a monopoly and shills wayfarers super hard

I've been wearing some pretty similar persols for a while now and I like them a lot.

>>15756959
I can't tell, what's the difference between the 714 and the 9714

>>15756827
which model is the brown pair in the third shelf on the left?

>>15758367
Carrera 173/s
The pictures online don't look like the actual glasses irl

>>15758415
are they big big or just big? I think I remember you saying last time that the carreras are larger in general

>>15758520
Just kinda big. They're a square aviator style. Here they are next to the RayBan Erika which is about the size of most wayfarer style glasses and a credit card sized card for comparison.

>>15758579
thanks m8, probably gonna cop a pair

>>15758520
Here's a pic next to a larger pair of aviators. I feel the 173/s is verybwell sized. They're also made of optyl so they're very light.

>>15758581
Sweet glad I could help. If you own some brand name glasses they usually have the sizing on the temples so you can use that for future reference.

>>15758077
9714s have a thinner frame and larger more aviator style lense.

>>15758902
Thx

>>15758902
Can u post them side by side?

>>15757075
me too anon me too

what's the best and cheapest alternative to RB wayfarers

Bump

>>15759575
714s on the left and 9714s on the right.

>>15756800
Just because something is Luxottica doesn't mean it's garbage. Many Luxottica brands make a very good product, Oliver Peoples comes to mind.
And there are loads of non-Luxottica brands that are the same price or higher

>>15761890
I found out Tom Ford is made by Marcolin. How do they compare with Luxottica. I know Persol is owned by Luxottica as well but my understanding is Persol still manufactures their own stuff.

>>15761811
Checked and cool way to show the difference

>>15756827
Are those carreras on the top right shelf? Curious what model I really like the blue lenses.

I’m gonna be the coolest kid on the block with these bad boys on

dad gave me his pair of Gargoyles from the 80s, rate/no bulli

>>15762110
They're vintage Jaguar frames. Mod 571. The lenses were custom.

>>15762250
Damn son, nice. Careful with em though, I heard gargoyles are fragile as fuck. Can you take a full front pic of them?

>>15762261
here you go anon
yeah, I'd imagine they're pretty fragile at least around the arm area. each is held on by 2 brass pins that rivet into the back of the small logos on the sides. One of those pins is sheared so it pivots a bit but I don't know if it would be a faux pas to superglue it

>>15762261
>>15762281
i am a fucking retard and forgot the pic

>>15762281
Show pictures where it pivots. Personally I would go ahead and superglue it but in a way where you can't notice. Like apply some to a toothpick and use that to apply it onto the glasses or if you get some very viscous glue I would put some in a diabetic syringe for extra precision. Almost half of my collection is vintage stuff that's over 20 years old and sometimes stuff need some glue. I have a pair of spalding cycling glasses that broke because I didn't want to compromise the ''originality'' of them with superlgue and so one of the temples(arms) broke off. I know better now.

>>15762289
Those are pretty sweet. Look into getting some of these. They will help you avoid having them fall of your face and breaking. I have a set like this in black. I use one of each kind. The hooks and round holders are best on glasses that have long enough temples while the long flat ones are best for my 2 pairs that are a little shorter.

>>15762299
I'm lucky you asked for a pivot picture because I probably wouldn't have seen these microcracks and busted the glasses haha
Yeah i'm gonna superglue it. These are steel arms sunk into plastic from 1985 so a little cyanoacrylate isn't gonna do it much harm

>>15762321
what are they called?

>>15762299
pic of cracks

>>15762337
Put some tape over the metal so the super glue doesn't end up on it when you slide the temple back into position. Search for silicone temple tips for the holders. You can get them off aliexpress for super cheap.

>>15762341
I've never dealt with that. Not sure what would be the best way to approach fixing that. Definitely a thicker glue, maybe a thin piece of shrink wrap to put over it with some glue under it.

>>15762357
I'm thinking the thinner loctite stuff so that it can penetrate the finer cracks and seal them up

>>15762362
I think that's better a better approach. I was thinking thicker to hold everything together.

>>15762367
i might paint on a thin glaze of the hardier stuff after the loctite cures just to ease the mind but I only really wear these when I drive or when I'm larping as the terminator so not a lot of tough use

>>15762375
Nice. It's good you don't use them as beaters. As a big fan of vintage sunglasses I just like helping people and discussing the best ways to preserve them.

>>15762375
Btw if you want some similar glasses you won't feel so guilty breaking look into carrera 1031/s. I hate to come off as a carerra shill but they are my favorite brand.

>>15762392
Gargoyles still make the ANSI (it's the ANSI classic now) which I might get if I ever get the itch to use them as my daily drivers

>>15762403
I remember some anon saying the current quality is garbage

>>15762575
2bh the old ones aren't so robust either. The frame design is pretty much the glasses equivalent of skipping leg day, look at the robustness of the lens assembly compared to the hinges and the arms. I'm pretty much buying them for the aesthetic there are glasses that do what they do better

>>15762755
Nah I just always wanted a sun visor like that since I saw one in the Duck Sauce Barbara Streissand video 10 years ago. Figured it would look alright with a bucket hat

>bought a bunch of clothes on Cyber Monday from Saks OFF 5th Ave

>open package yesterday, find a pair of Ray-Bans I definitely did not order, it’s not even on the packing slip

I’m guessing some fulfillment center employee screwed up somewhere, but hey, free Ray-Bans!

>>15764056
Is it considered stealing if you received an extra item and didn’t notify the company?

>>15756473
W2c?

>>15764360
I’ve had the 9714s the longest (~5 years). Dropped them repeatedly and sat on them. The hinges definitely loosened up and they flop around more than a new pair and I’ve had to re-tighten some screws. Despite all this when they’re folded open and you’re wearing them it’s not an issue and they feel like normal sunglasses.

Sadly, not even these Matsudas can beat the Siru.

>>15766217
pretty cool. I've been looking for something new to add to my collection, LRG fits the bill perfectly. Which brand are the ones with the engravings on the edges?

>>15766231
ah ok Matsudas. IDK man the siru just looks like steampunk glasses, not a fan at all.

>>15766217
>>15766231
well thanks for contributing. Will def add matsudas and LGRs to the collection. Already found what I want.

>>15766232
LGR is wrapped in leather. The colonial undertones also bring great joy down here in Africa. Matsudas are amazing hand-engraved glasses but expensive as all fuck.

>>15766236
There will never be eyewear greater than the Siru. On certain face shapes there's nothing that can come close.

>>15766236
I have the more elegant Madeleine ones.

You cannot argue with my siru-periority.

What Luxottica brands are worth it? My insurance can get me free frames through EyeMed so I think Oakley and Ray Ban are my best bets. Also think it covers Persol

>>15756473
It depends on the shape of your head and hair style. Can you give us some insight on this?

>>15766548
None. Ray Ban if you have to.

>>15766548
Avoid RayBans. They're so fucking played out it hurts. Oakleys have amazing polarized lenses, Persol are much nicer than RBs in terms of classic frames. Oliver Peoples is nice too but expensive.

>>15766548
Main question. What style of frames are you looking for?

>>15766622
>Main question. What style of frames are you looking for?
Round tortoise shell frames. Think Bateman in American Psycho.
I've been wearing Moscot Lemtosh frames for years but want something more subtle and thinner

>>15766779
Bateman literally wears oliver peoples.

>>15766879
Yes, but Oliver Peoples isn't covered by most insurance programs, and I don't feel like dropping 700 on frames and lenses out of pocket if I don't have to

>>15766923
I would look into persol. They're the only luxottica brand that I feel is worth money for their classic frames. You can also look into oakley latch, idk if they come into toiseshell but oakley can't be beat for polarized lenses with their prizm technology.

My Kuboraums came in finally. Definitely larger than wayfarers.

>>15767487
Jesus Christ those are big. have anything for a size comparison?

>>15767501
The TF I also copped are comparable in size. They are 53mm lenses compared to the 51mm in the Kuboraums. If I remember right wayfarers are 50mm but I don’t have a pair.

>>15766610
Ray Bans are the classic alpha glasses and the benchmark to beat. Men who wear them fuck.

I want to get some glasses like the Carrera autist but I don't want Carreras because of the associations I have in my head of the brand. What are some brands I could look into that haven't been mentioned in this thread?

anyone have experience with blank sunglasses? I can't tell if it's an aliexpress drop shipping site.

What sunglasses should I get if I'm a 5'3 autist?
I don't want people to shout out cool glasses to me in the street or think I'm trying to be cool.

>>15769642
Get some wayfarer knockoffs like everyone else. Polaroids are cheap and polarized. Or do you have a type of glasses in mind?

Picked up these for $50, thoughts?

>>15769793
I like them.

>>15769793
how do you like the polarized lenses on them? Do you have an experience prior with polarized lenses? Personally I'm ruined after trying oakley prizm daily. Those were the nicest lenses ever. Looking at getting some polaroids.

just copped these

>>15770296
I like the sutros, wouldn't have gotten the light though. You got em for casual use or cycling? Which lens you got em with?

>>15771252
just casual use/driving. I have a pair of blades with the dark golf lens and targetlines with the golf lens, neither of which are nearly dark enough for driving to work on a sunny as fuck day. I like the regular sutro, too, and hopefully I don't regret getting the lite, it just reminded me more of the old school blades with it being a half frame rather than a full frame

>>15771252
>>15771257
and it has the prizm sapphire lens. wanted a pair of custom sutros with the 24k lens and retina burn/80s green colored frames but they aren't doing custom sutros right now

>24k retina burn sutro lights
This combination can't exist on the mortal plain.

>>15771376
I was so fucking mad when I went to finally cop it and found out they weren't doing custom sutros at the moment

So I ended up buying these >>15769639 . Found a 25% discount code for them too so only paid $32CAD for the glasses with free shipping. How'd I do?

Seconding Persol, I also have a pair that looks a lot like those.

It's really nice, super crisp and a good shade of green. Can definitely recommend. I only wish they were slightly darker lenses, but overall really decent.
