Thoughts on Oliver Peoples? I need a new pair of optical glasses.

I've got my eye on the Oliver Peoples Riley in Cocobolo. Thoughts?

Also optical general.

Oliver People is pretty good as far as glasses go. Pick your frames based on how they look on you, not on the brand. I tried on a whole lot of different brands before settling on the ones I chose.

>>10082662
Yea I think so. Mine say "Handcrafted in Italy," and so did all the ones I tried on in the store.

What type of face do you need to pull off rounder glasses? Thin?

I've got a pair of bold, black, square glasses that I absolutely hate. They make me look like Clark fucking Kent.

I don't think anywhere near me stocks OP. I might try and find some similar shaped frames in another store and order a pair online based on that.

Can I return frames if I don't like the fit?

They're not made by Luxxotica you pleb, they're just owned by Luxxotica.

Luxxotica own something stupid like 85% of the worlds optical brands, so unless you get some bespoke frames everything is going to have ties with them.

All the companies owned by Luxxotica continue to operate independently using their own designs/materials/factories.

It's like anything in fashion, one major conglomerate owns lots of smaller brands. Pic related.

Smaller operated 'luxury' brands don't really make that much as they produce in small batches and don't tend to market/advertise themselves as much. They generally rely on the quality of their product to speak for itself and word-of-mouth/press for publicity.

It's people like LV who get away with murder charging £1,000+ for a handbag when they're mass produced in factories in China out of canvas. They can spend millions on advertising shilling their shit products to otherwise unknowing customers. No wonder they're the most profitable fashion house.

The real luxury is in smaller scale, niche, bespoke brands. Who actually care about the craft and love that goes in their products. Not something that's churned out of a factory.

Oliver People's do a bespoke service if you go to their store in LA. You can choose your own acetate/lenses/shape etc.

With OP frames they come in 41, 43, 45, 47 etc. is that the width of the lense in mm?

These are meant to be the same frame, but obviously one looks a lot smaller. Would be smaller one be a 41/43 and larger a 47 in these photos?

I think I'd prefer a larger frame, the small ones look weird as fuck.

All glasses not just Oliver Peoples are measured that way. They'll have markings on the arm which will be something like this:

45-20-145

The first number is the width of the lenses, the second number is the width of the bridge (the bit inbetween each lense), and the third number is the length of the arm.

Sometimes they might give you the width and height of the lenses so you can judge pretty well how big the frame will be.

I think that because darker tortoise shells are often almost black/caramel colored, that they can probably work with a black-dominant or brown-dominant outfit. Black goes with black, I think. So I'd say tortoise is the way to go. It's also evocative of the 60s fashion hey day, and legendary actors like McQueen.

Lighter tortoiseshell are harder to pull off and so are clear frames. I'd stick to a darker tortoiseshell for most outfits.

Don't buy goofy coloured frames either. Just go black and brown.

Looks like I finally need glasses guys. Looking to get an eye exam soon and get a pair of glasses.

I also happen to find a pair of ray bans so I was thinking of using those for my first glasses but my guess is that you guys aren't very fond of them and they aren't effay.

I've been looking for glasses like these; thin frames in a round shape w/o being too Harry Potter-y. I've been looking at Warby Parker, etc., but mostly I'm seeing tortoise shell and 1950s Mad Men-style specs, which are nice but I want something thinner. Anyone have any suggestions?

Is there a massive amount of difference between 45, 47, 49mm etc. on the size of lense?

They only have a 49mm in my local shop of the style I want. But I can order all sizes online.

2mm seems almost negligible, does it completely alter the shape of the frame though?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 13 12:34:02 2015 No.10106589 >>10106041 If the bridge size stays the same then it's just the size of the diameter of the lens in mm. It can change the shape, so on a round lens it will be more elongated.

Personal preference really. I think it's a bit jarring of a color scheme. Like they fucked up making black frames. I just prefer warmer colored tortoise frames really. The moss tortoise isn't bad, more of a subtle mix. Still fairly dark with a green tinge which isn't shown very well on their site.

The frames I want only come in black, buff, and then these three shades of tortoise.

Top = amaretto/honey which is a bit too light.

Middle = matte moss, don't really like the dull finish, would be nice if they were glossy.

Bottom = cocobolo

Tbh I think the cocobolo is probably the best choice for this frame. Either that or black, but I'm not a massive fan of black frames.
