[jimmyc]

I have large Rx Nebb's and a small pair that are sunglasses.

I'll post them both.

thanks much. I'm thinking about ordering it in the smaller size as Rx glasses

OK Yardsale here are the pics...

Nebb tortoiseshell 48 • 22 • 125

Nebb Black 45 • 22 • 125

Keep in mind I have a big fucking head (hat size 7 3/8) so make your judgments

about which size you like from that. I'm glad I got the Black Nebbs as sunglasses

because If I wore them with Rx Lenses they would look kinda silly on me.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jimmy! Definitely going to go with the smaller size. They look sharp on you btw!

The exposed fasteners give the nebbs character. I'm definitely going to look into those especially since I wear the same hat size. thanks for sharing

[Guest binaural]

any opinions on Shuron? I've been thinking of picking up a pair of clear Freeways. they're wayfarer-esque and seem classic. not that familiar with the brand, though. thoughts?

also...

i'm really liking those Moscots too. good price too.

[fads]

i might just cop a white wayfarer to use as rx; hinges seem durable enough and its cheap...

is white too bold though? getting a bit sick of my black/crystal frame (all black too for that matter).

48...

45 seems to be a little too snug on your head

Been thinkin' about riding the Effector hype-train and getting these but I'm not too sure how they would look on a round face. Can someone educate me on eye glasses for rounder faces?

[phelen]

Effector are quality however, if you have a round face and buy round frames its just going to make your face look even more round. So I personally wouldn't if you want to look like a ballon head.

[azn8oi]

super,

your face would benefit from "light" japanese frames. something lightweight and metal would suit you well.

if you feel compelled to go plastic, it should be squarish.

I'd also avoid oversized unless you want to look like nicole richie.

these are expensive, but really beautiful. truly vintage!

[jimmyc]

I saw both those auctions today on ebay.

Every pair of glasses that guy is selling can be had at Moscot's for a fraction

of the price. Of course the frames at Moscots are new, not "vintage".

That "exactly like Johnny Depp wears" is a nice hook though

-------

on a side note I got these on eBay today. Not sure what I'm gonna do with them yet.

ahahah agreed. When scrolling through the eyewear on ebay those are hard to miss, perhaps it has something to do with the johnny depp tag. Paying 200+ more dollars for that viinntage title though isnt quite as appealing.

OH and Ive seen those frames you got today on ebay before, and have always been curious about them, do you have fit pics. Do you think you will rx them... I feel like they have a lot of potential

[jimmyc]

They should come in the mail this week. I'll post pics when I get them.

[fre-co]

Any opinions on these?

[jimmyc]

Uhhhh, Fucking Awesome!

They look like the inspiration for Oliver Peoples Tycoon's

How much you want for them?

[fre-co]

Well they are from L.A. eyeworks, I just bought them. Has this company not been discussed here?

Funnily enough the oliver peoples tycoon was also on my shortlist. Thanks for the info on Moscot by the way, I just couldn't buy them without trying in the end so I went for these.

[jimmyc]

Here are some better pics of the frames I got off ebay this past weekend.

I guess I'll get Rx lenses put in them.

[magicy]

jimmyc those look awesome! They look even better in your pictures than they did on ebay. Once you get them rxed will you take a fit pic perhaps!

[jimmyc]

here is what they look like on. I'm gonna get the Rx lenses but not sure how much I'll wear these.

[polishmike]

Jimmy next time you're in nyc I might have a special tour for you. I fix computers at Sol Moscot sometimes and maybe you can tag along as my assistant

It might be your paradise if you see their back room.

[jimmyc]

I would love to see that!

Email them a virus right before the September meet up and we'll head over there while I'm in town.

[homeboy]

Those round and bold ones are funny. Wearing them will make you look like Mr. Magoo.

[geekbonchic]

Whereas your weird ass felt sunglasses and nappy hair are much more attractive facial accessories.
