The Eyewear Thread

they're really bold and thick glasses

http://effector-eyewear.com/dirt.html

the squareness is a nice "fuck you" attitude when pulled off on the right face

(i like it most on the last pic)

fit pics:

does anyone know how or where to purchase these?the website is in all japanese and only list stores in japan that carry them,thanks.

They are really big/wide. Cop if you have a big face or dont mind looking stupid with some really big glasses.

There might be a pair on yjp. if notm search every week on that site and you'll find some.

edit: I love mine and I think they look better in transparent grey than black.

I tried warby parker, and the experience was overall good. Anyone here try their competitors?

Hey all, new member but I've followed this epic thread for years. Got two or more frames based on information I've found here. Always been impressed at the community's superpower to identify frames from a snapshot. Today while watching the less-than-impressive trailer for the Amazing Spiderman, a set of frames jumped out at me. Can anyone identify these? I'd be so grateful for any tips.

The quality gets better the more you pay. Warby Parker = decent, Dita = superlative but also can use money to buy 2 pairs of shoes

Thought this dude was spamming at first or something, but this is actually legit. Only have to pay shipping cost + small fee. Turned out to be near $13 on my end.

[yachtrock89]

Rereading that now it totally does come off like I work there lolz. On the real just trying to be nice/look out for peasant sufuers.

[lil brown brother]

nice looking out

[snidesnark]

frame quality is decent. Lenses are not the best really. They seem a little foggy: not the sharpest optics.

Which pair did you all cop? Everytime I think I find something that's passable there's something that destroys it for me...you know, like a division and multiplication sign on the front.

Leaning towards these and hoping the tort shell looks better in person.

Ive got some Oliver peoples sunglasses that I've been really happy with... my buddy works accessories @ BNY in BH. Told me they are having a trunk show this month 18th and 19th 11-4. I want to pick up a pair of everyday opticals perhaps in the clear or champagne? Does anyone have any favorite frame that I should try? I'm gonna take my time and make that beeyotch bring em all out. Haha. BTW, if you go ask for Robert and make a mess, tell him Andrew sent you. Jk, no but seriously. Andrew sent you.

[jackg]
