When the children ask Daddy Dyne why they have to pay for their own tuition, he will tell them, "Spent it on the glasses, the glasses."

Assuming his kids are smart enough to get into University, and aren't sunglass afficionado's who try to make daddy happy by building old style Wayfarer's and Aviators.

They really tied my face together.

<- I mean, is that really the kind of face you want to look into unobscured? I sure as hell wouldn't. I don't own mirrors for a reason.

Actually, I'd want Italians making my glasses. Even if I ruined my life right now and ran away with an Italian girl, my children would only be half Italian. So it's definitely adoption for me and Becky.

Actually, disregard this thread. I just got my Persol 2720's yesterday and they are the most fucking comfy thing I've ever put on my face. I don't think I'll ever wear anything else!

But I do love the sexy design of wayfarers...

Angrist · 06-23-2008, 03:54 PM

Ok, I got a new pair. I chose them based on Dyne's advice and personal taste. How do they look? They were cheap, so be honest if they don't look that good!

Dyne · 06-23-2008, 04:15 PM

Nice! Those fit your face a lot better and frame your jaw. They look a little like goggles from the side, but there's nothing wrong with that. Especially if you're going for the steampunk look.

Bond · 06-23-2008, 04:37 PM

Dyne, what did you pay for those Persol 2720s?

I've been shopping around and have found a wide range of prices, $140-250.

Dyne · 06-23-2008, 05:48 PM

I got my pair polarized for $160 on eBay. Need some help?

Do you have a preferred lens size and colour, and frame colour?

Thanks!

I personally would have preferred some smaller sunglasses, but I'll keep that in mind for my next pair.

And steampunk? Been there done that, in 2004 to be precise.

Actually, I may indeed need some help.

I went to the store the other day and decided on the gunmetal Persol 2244-S. Know where I can find the best price?

Dyne · 06-26-2008, 06:38 PM

Gunmetal frame? Ok. Polarized or no? What coloured lens? Or are you just looking for the cheapest?

Bond · 06-26-2008, 06:40 PM

Well, do I really need polarized? I'm basically buying these because I need them for my 30 minute drive to work that often faces directly into the sun.

I'm not sure on the lens color.
