I love SALT. The dudes are going all out to give the public the best $hit possible. The new ophthalmics are a major step in the right direction and this Vance pair, the massive sunglasses frame pictured above, it's hand carved from a 10mm thick block of acetate and is not for girly men, that's for sure.

where to cop/more info?

Also, I'm still looking for some crazy big black frame geek/wayfarer kind of glasses, but still no luck.

the Nom de Guerre x Oliver Peoples frames are set to be released June/July '08 at Nom de Guerre stores only. they also have grey/offwhite pattern, tortoiseshell, and a translucent light grey. i want these pretty bad. i love Oliver Peoples.

why don't you buy some Wayfarers, and take them to an optometrist and have them replace the tinted lenses?

These Oliver Peoples TYCOON XL are up on ebay right now. I'd get them but I just ordered a pair of those SALT Optics Vance Rx Sunglasses.

Thanks for the info. I already thought of taking a pair of Wayfarers to my optometrist, but even the oversized wayfarer sunglasses by Ray-Ban don't suit me. I tried on some by Hugo Boss that were quite nice really. My best bet is probably go to all the stores in my city and try some on.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I think the width of the frame is a bit too big for me. I like a slimmer one.

I'm looking for a frame that's pretty much to exactly like this:

(also, as you'll notice, on cole mohr. he really pulls off glasses well, huh.)

I saw those in the window of Naked Eye in NYC a couple of months ago. Tortoiseshell and Black

wow, those are a nice find. did you want them to be of the thick plastic variety as Oliver Peoples (this is sad, i'm starting to sound like a sales rep) has a pair (Virgil C) but it looks like they're wire/metal and those are the only ones i've encountered that bare resemblance to the ones you posted.

You could also write Dimitri at [email protected] and ask him what they are. He might carry them but even if he doesn't I bet he can tell you the brand and who does.

Hello!

Just a quick question. I am in a market for a new pair of glasses, and want to get a nice plastic frame like many that have been posted on this page. But the problem is that I have such a small nose bridge even the ones that have 18mm nose width sometimes do not fit good.

I am looking for a pair that looks similar to oliver people tycoon.

Is there any company perhaps some japanese company that make a pair of plastic frame that has such a small nose bridge width?

Any input is appreciated. Thank you!
