Orgreen makes super nice eyeglasses. the design on all their frames are fuckin phenomenal. if you're looking for something really nice and unique, you might want to read up on the brand and see if they interest you

my Orgreen Spider:

titanium, handmade in japan

I just sold a black version of that for $110usd shipped to thelaststarfighter

I have a source for eyeglasses! PM me w/ the brand, model # and size (if applicable) and I'll see if I can pick them up from my source for a low low price.

Posted about this over at SF,

These guys have a couple of cool looking frames, (venice W2)

http://www.otticacarraro.it/eng/ and it seems the price is pretty good...

Have these at the moment http://www.theyedoctor.com/products/_cid_10001-pid_35945__product.aspx, but I'm kinda looking for a squarish horn-rim type of frame with a larger lense (vertically), although I'm not so sure about ordering online without trying them on...

jimmyc: thanks for the post, these look pretty good, might give them a try,

If you don't mind my asking what's the quality like (hinges, material etc.) on your moscots?

Waiting on these to arrive. My first pair...

I almost bought these but I would've had to special order them, and I also had my eye on another pair (no pun intended.)

It's Prada, but it's not flashy.

i got transitions lenses fitted in my frames. here's a pic when exposed to UV light (gets darker than this at maximum UV). first time trying these out... hope i like them!

i just don't want to be one of those guys that walks around indoors with shades on. supposedly they fade pretty fast. will test them out outdoors today!

anyone else have any experience with transitions lenses??

(i remember in high school, only the dorks had these...)

[Quattroporte]

I personally think that Transitions aren't always practical because I like seeing colors in their true state, so I usually leave my sunglasses at home. Also, I think that eyeglasses and sunglasses have different styles that look good, and you can't really switch in between both without having somewhat large frames.

However, those clear frames are hot, so whatever. ^_~ Did you get them at your optometrist or online?

[grunhauser]

We don't advise to go with transition lenses - they are lame, expensive and to boot they just don't work.

And if you really think about it, the whole concept is bordering on ridiculous. Why would you want to compromise an opportunity to own a killer pair of shades?

I wouldn't go as far to say that they're ridiculous, because some people who don't care so much about looks would think they're very convenient. However, I would definitely agree that I'd rather have a nice pair of eyeglasses and a nice pair of shades over an expensive pair of whatever you'd call the frames with the Transitions lenses.

jimmyc - moscot's look class

what frames did you get?

cheers fella

How about Ic!Berlin? Pretty cool stuff. Their glasses don't have the hooks for the ears but no worries cause it won't drop off. Trust me, I tried. I was shaking my head and everything but they wouldn't come off! Their glasses don't use screws either.

[backinthetrees]

i also like de milki

[marksandspencers]

sorry to resurrect, this was pretty much as relevant as it was going to get, right I'm looking for some glasses like the ones Jackson Pollis wears, any suggestions would be much appreciated, going to HK soon so it's possible to buy from there.

[Guest Methimphibian]

do any brands make frames like these but not sunglasses.

[kyo]

hahahahaha transition lenses = fucking lame.

[saepnirg]

those jackson polis frames kinda look like the wayfarer max imo.

maybe get a pair of the bay and put your own lenses in?
