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.

Those. Need new ones. Mine are bent.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Dyne · 06-26-2008, 06:43 PM

Alright. The colours are essentially dark green or dark brown. I would recommend dark brown for driving. I'll look for prices right now.

The cheapest I can find, cheaper than eBay, is $123.

Polarized goes for around $150-$160. They don't have gunmetal + black in anything but polarized, but I say these are pretty good choices.

This post is for BaB because he wanted pictures.

Newest addition - Oakley Eyepatch. Yarr. I was in Sunglass Hut today with Typhoid and saw these, and they were SUPER cheap, so I broke down and bought them. (There goes the rest of my dividend.

)

The fact green wasn't normally available on the website, and the little pirate icon sold me right there.

Those are a similar style to mine, very nice!
