Black Rimmed Nerdy Glasses Thread

[Begåvningsreserven]

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?

real Dean wore Tart Arnel

[ROYALEFATALE]

got my NDG-1's yesterday, a little big but whatevs:

[Tortexdunlop]

Does anyone know where to buy black Tart Arnel frames, or similar ones?

I saw a couple of Tart Arnel frames on ebay, but they are too expensive/not my size.

I don't want the Moscot Lemtosh, because the customer service sucks. They won't answer my e-mails/phonecalls.

[herpsky]

I tried the Lemtosh a few months ago at the LES store when I visited NYC a few months ago. The quality is terrible. It seemed like it would fall apart in 2 weeks.

Facial Index NY used to carry Taihachiro's at one point but they don't have it any more.

Optician Lloyd in Harajuku tends to have the best selection but the spot's gotten so blown up that it's nearly impossible to find the good taihachiro models.

I just got a pair of Effector Phaser II Black / White from Optical Cradle in Aoyama. I like the way taihachiro sits better on my nose but I like the fact that effector offers a lot of interesting looking models.

I was deciding between Fuzz-small or the NBHD x Effector pair.

I also have another pair that I bought from Zoff Omotesando. Look like taihachiro's but they were 12,000 with nikon lens included.

There's another spot in Tokyo that sells Taihachiro (including the premium line) but I'd rather keep that joint on the DL.

If you are willing to spend 40,000 yen, Tenderloin x Hakusan is another solid choice. You can find them at Hakusan Walls off of Cat Street in Shibuya.

Tart Arnells and Lemtosh are for sheeps.

Do you have fit pics? Are there any online suppliers?

I'd like to buy new eyeglasses asap, 'cause my old ones fell apart.

Other suggestions?

[herpsky]

b.a.l.l.a.s. don't buy jawns online

i can take pics but i have no idea where to find them online.

sucks.

Does anyone recommend a frame or even owns one, that on one hand has a modern thick black body but without screaming wayfarers?

I like the look of these, but they seem like exact copies of the ray ban and I'm kinda looking to move away from following everyone else.

[Jon's_Coffee_Shop]

I have a nice pair of RL black rimmed glasses in my sale thread. I just got some RG Marcellos, so I'm trying to part ways with this pair. I'll sell for cheaper than my asking price if anyone is interested.

I've tried these on and they look very nice. Vintage black body but I would say every detail the glasses have does something different than a wayfarer.

shuron, freeway

[Mr Buddhastic]

excuse me if this is subtopic because these are sunnies but these are also black, rimmed, nerdy and glassed. anyway i bought these baush and lombs in flawless condition for mad bargain a while back.

they're considered to be wayfarers btw

mobbosses are nerds too

[its swanny]

please excuse me for looking like a tool.

[beautyfake]

I am so glad this thread exist!

Personally I am such a sucker for guys with thick nerdy glasses. Haha.

Anyways..

I´m sharing here my Cuttler and Gross. Been wearing these ones for almost 2 years now and I am still loving them. They survived a BAD bike accident!

Bought them at an amazing optic in the Hague called Azami.

These babies cost me 305 euros for the frames only. Paid like 500 euros in total. A LOT of money but I guess it´s for my face so it was worth it.

I am now currently looking for the perfect second pair! And I tried these DITA glasses 2 days ago. I am loving them! But they cost like 445 euros frames only. DAMN.

[HBlack]

that second pair looks great

[beautyfake]

^thanks! i really really like em. not sure i wanna spend that much though for a second pair

[HermitEdge]

Does anyone have these Zenni 3666 glasses? Am curious to see how they look on a human being since the height of the frame is a bit larger.

WHERE TO BUY SUPER GLASSES IN THE STATES?

ESPECIALLY IN SOCAL ?? or online

[nak soo kaao]

so i got glasses in bangkok today and after the fact i learned they are women's frames. none of the glasses are separated and they kept giving me different pairs then said these were the best.

i realize at 26 i shouldn't give a shit if they are men's or women's if they fit my face but i am having that internal debate whether to keep them or get rid of them. i just don't want feminine glasses.

yay or nay?

these are the frames.

and these are the frames on me.

[mouko]

Picked up a left over pair of Geller Joseph Frames today at work.

Hard to tell but they're a dark turtle shell brown. Replaced my old vintage black frames I bought at Fabulous Fanny's a while ago cause they're worn to shit. I like the largeness of the lense area, but I miss the dip my old pair had at the bridge. The bridge on the geller's go straight across at the top. The gellers are slightly thicker all around and noticably heavier.

Old frames for reference. Excuse the cupcake mess.

[dbk4sf]

Are these feminine?

[frankie_four]

depends on your face. Pretty round edges

[ant_icon]

anyone know which other glasses are similar to the dita elan?

[DisposableGamera]

^^^

Moscot Nebb

Moscot Hyman

A little bit rounder, but probably half the price. Been looking at getting a pair of Ditas too, but the price is putting me off.

Geller Marcello

Try these ones too, they were $220; I'm sure that you could track them down somewhere. IMO the matte finish looks better than the gloss in person.

[Guest bambam]

copped polo glasses. the rims arent black!!

[Involuntary Soul]

oliver X NDG is nice

[Protocol]

Bit undecided on which frames to kop.

I've tried these two on already.

and

The first fit's fine and is smaller than the second one on the face. My nose is of the large "button" variety so i'm not sure i could pull off the larger frame of the second pair.

The last pair i'm interested in has yet to tried on as i can't find it (physically) in any shops.

I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle and wait asking the shop to order these in so i can try them on. I think these look more masculine than the first pair and they both cost exactly the same. So any opinions on what to do?

[mhmm!]

what are the best looking frames currently available on discount sites like zenni?
