Ive wanted some nice hornrimmed sunnies for a while, ala Old Boy. Number Nine had some in white that looked badass, but I never saw em in person...

Those look like Oliver Peoples Riley frames:

glad i found this thread

was watching james dean yesterday and he was wearing some nice glasses. i've seen this style a few times before, but don't know what it is called so i don't know what i have to search for...sucks....can anyone tell me what they are called?

Cutler & Gross made a pair just like this a couple of years ago. Not sure if they still do. Their website is rubbish, and shows very little of their stock, so you'd need to visit one of their shops to check.

I tried their version of this on at the time. They were a little narrow, and only came in one width. Maybe I have a wide face, though...

Also, I got a pair of Nebb frames (the nerdiest of their black plastic frames?) from Moscot last month, which they made up with my prescription in an hour. I've got no complaints about the quality of the frames or the lenses - and I reckon they were about a third cheaper than Cutler & Gross. And the service there was much more accommodating than that of the uptight poseurs in the London Cutler & Gross store.

I have the culter & gross version of these glasses.

These are nice! Are these vintage?

I really like the small tiny chanel logo thats not too in-your-face, they dont make em like this no more. These days its all bout big huge ass CC logo.

I don't normally do this, nor am I much of a sunglasses person, but these are a going away present from my boss, and we narrowed it down to these two.

Persol(please excuse the lens sticker):

Paul Smith:

I feel that the Paul Smith's remind me a bit too much of all the Wayfarer action going on these days, while the Persols are more of a timeless design.

But I honestly cannot decide right now.

Note that the PS's fit my face really well right away, the Persol's would need to be adjusted a bit but this would be no problem...

[hollaforadolla]

paul smith all the way.

[robin]

The Paul Smith's look better on you Chicken.

[ken shinoda]

The Persol looks like something that can be bought here:

Get the Paul Smith.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

The Persols are too wide for your face... the Paul Smith are perfect.

[whizkit]

+1 for paul smith oliver peoples

[erbs]

Here's my current pair:

And Cotton, the Paul Smiths look the best on you

edit: the red in the pic is a glare. The frames are all grey.

[ledger]

agreed paul smiths.

What's the quality like on Salt stuff? I need a pair of frames and I tried on the Geller ones at Nomad and while they're nice, I feel the lens size is probably about 110-120% of what I'm going for, but the shape is right. Some other store carried Salt and the sales chick gave me a discount card if I head back there, and they've got something like what I'm looking for. Just wanna know if they're made alright.

cotton...

PS by a country mile. they look great on you.

the discerning eye can tell they arent wayfakers.

[josh is cool]

I needed new prescriptions so I bought these for just under a hundred dollars when I visited New York last year.

You know wayfarers are played when they're being sold at urban outfitters in absurd neon colors.

yeah that's what drew me to these along with the shape =P...they're not vintage but from ss 2008 I believe, not sure though they might be from earlier. it's a sunglass frame but i just threw my prescription in there

Speaking of geller ones, what are the differences between the Joseph model and the marcello model?
