They're even asking more than the retail price:

I always admired Yves Saint Laurent's glasses, but I think they were usually tortoise shell.

The Nom de Guerre x Oliver Peoples from this season are also very nice. I have a pair that I'm selling if anyone's interested (see sig).

There is a big glasses thread somewhere on sufu, you'd probably find a few ideas in there if you search for it. Edit: Here you go - http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=34949

The R. Geller Marcello frames are dope; they come in black:

Only problem is that every douchebag hipster in the entire world is wearing horned rims right now........

[MharcI]

i'm thinking about picking these up. they are only $15 so even if they don't fit that well i won't be too worried about it.

What are those, and where?

These cost so much because they are handmade by 泰八郎 out of celluloid that takes 5 years to harden. Only about 2-300 pairs produced a month. He's been making them the same way for over 40 years, since 1964.

[quid pro quo]

ive been thinking about getting some of the moscot miltzens.

if anyone happens to own a pair, i would love to see how they look on your face.

that sounded a little gay.

sorry.

[Servo2000]

I've been thinking about a pair of the Moscot Yukel's

Badass. I've been hearing some complaints about Moscot's quality recently though - anyone seen something along these lines for the same / lower price point from a quality manufacturer?

Yeah, what? Are you kidding me?

Half the fucking world is wearing them. I don't think there is a single person under 25 who doesn't own an obscurely colored pair by now. Shit is unbelievably played.

[ken shinoda]

You clearly need glasses, old man.

Its inscribed on the frames "NUMBER NINE"

Yo i remember seeing a pair of these glasses made by 泰八郎 that had a sort of wooden grain texture on the front that was awesome. Does anyone know where I can find these or even have a picture of them? Thanks.

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.
