I think the Luxottica hate is justified, but I think a lot of it is overblown and people complaining because they are parroting what they heard someone else say.
Most of the brands Luxottica makes frames for are NOT eyewear brands. They are clothing brands that just happen to make eyewear. Most are fashion brands you pay for the name of, not the quality. So complaining that Luxottica is making frames for Prada or Polo or whoever and then whining about the quality is a little silly. It's like the saying goes: "Buy shoes from shoemakers, by clothes from clothes makers, but glasses from glasses makers." Don't buy glasses from a shoe company and expect it to be amazing
Of the brands that are eyewear brands, like Persol, Oliver Peoples, Ray Ban, Costa, etc. they have generally maintained their quality, in particular Oliver Peoples and Persol. Ray Ban is hit or miss. I have had great stuff from their made in Italy lines.
The one brand Luxottica has absolutely destroyed though has been Oakley, which is a shame to see. But in general, of the brands that make eyewear and aren't licensed like clothing brands, the quality is still considered to be good
So I guess what I'm saying is if you buy your frames from a brand known for Chink made clothes and then complain about Luxottica, you're kind of a retard

Anyone have Moscot? looking at the folding lemtosh glasses.

>>18158161
I own some Lemtosh eyeglasses. Mine are too small a size so I don't wear them much
The quality is really good. A lot of people rag on them for being made in China but the quality is nice. Very beefy hinges, I think they're 7 barrel
My biggest problem with Moscot is that they're made in China but cost nearly as much as brands making their stuff in Italy or Japan.
If I'm spending 350 on Moscots made in China, why not spend a but more and get some Julius Tart/Tart Optical (the original design Moscot ripped off and claims is theirs) Arnel frames that are made in Japan and better?
Moscot's biggest problem is charging Italian/Japanese prices for Chinese products

>>18158184
Well I'm new to the sunglasses game. I used to just grab something from the dollar store. When I saw how much Raybans cost it seemed steep for a beginner. Are there any brands you would recommend?

>>18158197
NTA but this is my take...
If you don't need prescription lenses, buy Ray-Bans or any of the nicer brands (Persol, Barton Perreira, ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA) from online retailers like eBay or Jomashop.
They will be authentic and will be half the price (or less) than MSRP - usually around $100 is a good deal.
Do you want to wear something that says 'Polaroid' on the side of them? They don't look that nice style-wise, and the $50 extra dollars you spend on something nicer will pay dividends (Sunglasses can last you a lifetime).
Some of the Polaroids are fine and cost-efficient, but they feel like 3D-movie glasses to me and I don't love their blocky style.

>>18158169
>luxxotica bad
>buy these made in china glasses for the same price
I'll never understand luxxotica hate, if you're going to hate then recommend another company made in italy/japan with glass lenses for the same price (hint: you can't). excluding the fashion brands they make glasses for, luxx, like every other large company, makes money off volume and tiny margins

>>18158197
Dollar store glasses are ok as a backup but they're inferior lenses to even lower mid range brands a good 99.999% of the time.
There's good value to be found in a cheaper pair of say Oakleys or perhaps an Australian brand.

>>18158200
>>18158211

Thank you. I appreciate the suggestions, I didn't know those brands.

Honestly, I don't mind the Polaroid logo that much. I find the blue color quite nice for a casual wear. As a cost efficient pair for this use (28 euro) I think it works. I am going to go on vacation soon doing lots of activity outside, boating on the lake etc.

I do think I would want a nicer style, something classy, but I will take some time. I would like to try something on before spending that kind of money, which wont be possible with a ebay purchase.

>>18158041
They are lying by claiming it's "horn" when it is actually acetate imitation, every single time.

Are crystal lenses actually better?

>>18158197
Ray Bans or any other decent brand might seem like a lot but I have had my Original Wayfarers for probably 8 years or so and besides some scratches on the temples they're in excellent shape. I have another pair of RBs that I've had for 11 years that are practically new looking
If you take care of them they'll last forever

>>18158203
I don't hate Luxottica. I acknowledge however that they ARE increasing the prices way higher as a result of their "monopoly" (they're not even a monopoly, Kering also is huge but for some reason gets a pass)
Persols used to be 150, now they're 400. That's all on Luxottica. But Persol still makes excellent sunglasses, so you have to decide if the price is worth it to you

>>18158267
Yes, but I don't mind polycarbonate

Why did Raybans stop selling Yellow and Amber sunglasses lenses?

I have a pair of Clubmasters, but they're old and also I sat on them once when I was drunk so they're slightly crooked, thinking it's time to retire those to the car or something and get a new (non-Rayban) pair. What else could I consider if that shape suits my face? Aviators tend to be a bit big on me, wayfarers are a bit chunky too.

Bought my first ever pair of sunglasses, J.F. Rey JFR-2002 for $80, are they good or did I get scammed? I didn't do any research and picked them only cause I liked how they look and they have 12% VLT which seems pretty good.

I cannot tell a difference between polarized and non-polarized lenses unless i am looking at a phone or when you look at a car window and it does the thing (polarized bros know what i'm referring to)
but as for reducing glare or any of that, i can't tell

Let's say that I'm cheap and buy from Zenni, GlassesUSA, or EyeBuyDirect.

Any frames or offers in particular that I should look out for?

You have no idea what you're talking about. Polaroid has a ton of variety in their choice of frames, plenty of styles that look like more expensive brands like carrera for example. You act like you know the brand but in reality know nothing.

Talking about Polaroids again, they're the best cheap glasses and they have their use. When you go out drinking, there's chance you lose or damage your sunglasses, no because of you but other people can cause it. I broke and lost a couple of Polaroids over the years and i don't regret it, I would have not liked if it was my Persols for example

I like polaroids because they have some fun designs, simple as. I could not find anything like these glasses here, the aviator shape and the retro yellow color with the identical lens to match the frame. But I agree they're a good choice for beater sunglasses, but they're good not bad as a main choice too.

made in japan, they have those 3 dots thing and everything. Usually go for around 300 but since they are sold at fashion stores as well, you can buy then during the sales. I paid less than 100 for mine.

I assume it's the same as anywhere. You give them your prescription and they make the lenses for whatever frame you pick out

All those cheap differences and the price is only 20 bucks less than the Original

It's one of the only things RB designates as "handmade in Italy" and it's made of acetate with a core wire and beefy sturdy hinges
I have no experience with the folding version, but if it's anything like most other folding frames on the market it's prone to getting loose and sloppy at the bridge and will require regular tightening of the screws

depends on the model, but in general yeah. some are still made in italy, the original wayfarers still handmade in italy
but a lot are made in china now and i've handled some chinese made frames that were junk
my pairs of wayfarers (original and new) are good though and held up for a decade
i've moved on to persol personally, i don't fuck with rayban any more

>>18168326
I'm stuck on raybans because I can put the outdoorsman style cable temples on them and they work perfectly with aviation headsets.

>>18168336
The quality already dropped by 2016 which shows that guys who complain about the quality of the product like >>18168326 have no fucking clue what they're talking about. They're also metal, the main quality drop was on the acetate models, the metal ones will be fine. I swear none of you could feel the difference between good and bad wayfarers minus a couple of exceptions.

does lindberg have boutiques/stores outside of denmark (specifically in los angeles) or is your only way to get them in america online, or at some optometry office that carries them

>>18168936
When was the quality even actually good then for metal raybans? My understanding is B&L had also gone to shit before luxxotica bought Raybans from them.

>>18169470
Ray Ban was bought in 1999. Do the math. I doubt there much difference in how the metal ones are made apart from more imperfections getting through QC, maybe cheaper hinges.

A lot of places try to hold it hostage in the hopes you'll only buy frames from them but you literally just ask for it
A lot of places know when you're only doing an exam through them and plan to buy frames elsewhere so they try and be a dick and won't tell you your pupillary distance
But just show up to anywhere with a prescription (that isn't more than 2 years old or they won't accept it and singed by an optometrist) and you're good to go

Employer is buying me a pair of maui jims. I dunno shit about sunglasses. What do I cop?

>>18170587
Buy the ones you like, castratti

>>18170587
Do you get to pick the frame? Just get what you like

>>18165681
I own these. They looks great.

>>18167953
>>I treat my possessions like shit
nope. i'm a poorfag and they were my first “expensive” glasses and treated them extremely carefully.

that said they are objectively terrible glasses. the rubber like frame feels REALLY good when you first try them but they are very reactive with water. any water. im not talking about the sea or the pool or the rain but your sweat. in a summer's worth of time the rubber becomes sticky because of your sweat alone no matter what.
now the mirror coating was of bad quality as well. i knew it was sensitive but it peeled off just from cleaning. which is insane.

>>18170581
not a fan. i honestly don't like anything ray ban makes other than the original wayfarer and clubmaster
all their other designs are bad to me

>>18171309
bro, shut the fuck up. you didn't take care of them at all. look at the picture you posted. those are the sunglasses of some slob that threw them in the car, no case, didn't care.
if they get into salt water don't be a retard and clean them off. obviously you didn't
i have sunglasses that are over a decade old that still look great

>>18171313
>bro, shut the fuck up. you didn't take care of them at all.
what part of "treated them extremely carefully" was too hard for you to grasp. the rubber is reactive to moisture. i once forgot them inside the case for a couple of months and they smelt like petrol.
the coating peeled off from cleaning alone. i think they were exposed to rain literally once.

polarized vs non polarized sunglasses? choose one and explain why

>>18171376
Non, it's cheaper and I notice no difference when wearing polarized.

>>18171311
Probably going to order original wayfarer tortoise with green polarized lenses . Should I consider clubmaster? Which is better for what

How do you remove hard water/water spots from your eyeglasses?

I've tried rubbing with microfiber and rinsing with dishwasher but it's still there.

>>18171616
Isopropyl alcohol, or get glasses wipes

Did you use alcohol like this retard >>18171643 ? Because that will ruin your lenses. Did you use anything other than a microfiber cloth to wipe them? Most fabrics are much more abrasive than you think.
>what part of "treated them extremely carefully" was too hard for you to grasp
You can say what ever you want but the picture speaks for itself. You mishandled them. I'll grant you that the rubberized plastic ages like shit but everyone kinda knows that apart from you lol. Here's a tip for the future, absolutely never buy mirrored anything and get normal acetate, acrylic, or metal frames. You'll get much better mileage. Honestly you kind of did yourself a favor in a way because you have been freed from owning a hideous pair of glasses. No one has ever looked good in mirrored sunglasses.

>>18173057
Ok fren I will give you advice that I have always stuck with. Buy the things from companies for which they are known for. If you're buying levi's buy their jeans, not their glasses. If you want glasses, buy from a company known for making glasses. If you buy a watch, buy from a company known for selling watches, instead of a company known for clothes (ie: Michael Kors, Armani, Guess, etc). Some companies are exceptions like you'll buy casio watches even though they're known for many consumer electronics, or you'll get a cartier watch or sunglasses, even though they're known for their jewelry. Occasionally there are exceptions, like when an item is really unique and only offered by that company. I for example like adidas but do not buy their hats, because if I were to get a hat I would get one from a company known for their hats, unless it yas a very unique design, which is why I have 2 adidas hats. These are my 2 cents, do with this information as you choose. If this is incoherent I apologize I am drunk.

Well my new ones came in and I can't tell any difference. Same weight on the scale, and no hinge creaking. The 62mm RB3025 at least hasn't changed since ~2015 or so when I got my original pair.

This is an interesting video that compares vintage B&L and Luxottica Wayfarers
Watch it and decide for yourself how much quality has declined or not

>>18174327
so the quality is the same?

>>18174386
Exactly
The whole "muh Luxottica" thing is mostly something you hear repeated by bugmen on reddit and people shilling independent eyewear brands

>>18174386
2140's are still handmade in italy so it makes sense

5 dollar Temu sunglasses are all you need

Should I buy new wayfarer or vintage wayfarer? The new ones are cheaper at about $120 on eBay for polarized while the vintage with BL lenses are also around $120-$150 but they come used and scratched.

>>18175451
To destroy your eye health

>>18175452
Obviously new you dumbass. The differences aren't what reddit would have you believe
They're still made of acetate with beefy hinges and glass lenses. Why pay for some scratched up shit just to try and own Luxottica or something

>>18175452
Why do redditors fear spending $200 in sunglasses but think it's normal paying the same for a yearly blacked.com subscription?

I'm confused, is there a new rayban aviator case style? I just saw some in a store with a much thinner than normal case that had the temples remain exposed and fold down to be held under the cover snap. I can't find anything about it anywhere online though.

>>18175502
Redditvan is dead

Honestly it's kinda insane that people here debate and shitpost over some of the most basic, generic-looking sunglasses imaginable. You might as well just call the thread Ray-Ban general because that's all that people here are interested in talking about.

>>18175463
I thought the new lenses are plastic?
>>18175475
Why spend $200 on glasses instead of $120 on ray ban wayfarers? Convince me jew boy

>>18175567
Yea man I just want a decent pair of sunglasses that aren’t made by chinks for around $120. Ray ban is my baseline but let me know what else I should look at for a classic look

>>18175789
Not on the Original Wayfarers

>>18175567
>people want to talk about the largest sunglasses brand in the world more than other brands
HOLY SHIT

>>18175789
The $120 ones are made in China

>>18175430
Polaroid makes sunglasses that look very similar so your insult is a little retarded. I think he's the autist who hate tortoise shell. No need to shit on other sunglasses brands, except for rayban.

>>18175463
There's tons of NOS, vintage doesn't necessarily mean used. Also makes them a little more special if you care about that sort of thing.
>>18175792
They're probably still made by chink just in Italy.
>>18175567
This place isn't what it used to be. All everyone wants to do now is fit in. I'm awestruck by pain when I see someone with a collection of 5 exactly identical pairs of black and brown sunglasses. At least this guy>>18161781 has some color variations among the same shape.
>>18175789
Only reason to get something more expensive is if you like it and can't settle for anything less. If you see a pair of JMM sunglasses and nothing else does it for you then get it. Conversely, if you don't care about detail and just like the general shape there's no point in even getting wayfarers when half price polaroids have practically the same shape for under 100$, and are polarized if that's your thing.

>>18176034
I have those persol and I have had Polaroids and it's a huge difference. Don't be a redditor.

>>18175856
I'm not sure I would say Ray-Ban is the largest sunglass brand in the world. Maybe the largest dedicated sunglass brand, but there are plenty of other people that make sunglasses. Ray-Bans are everywhere because they're cheap, not because they are the best.

>>18175792
I mean if that's what you truly want then Ray-Ban will have something for you. But if you're a thread regular, why are you hanging out in a thread dedicated to the topic when you just want generic items? It would be like if we had a thread dedicated to shirts and all someone wanted to talk about was Uniqlo basic tees. Past a certain point, there's nothing to really say. And there's certainly nothing to argue about.

>>18176059
This is my first time in here. I am upgrading from my old schwood sunglasses that are falling about after 5 years. I just wanted to see if the wayfarer are good quality/price products.

>>18176065
you're mainly paying for the name though they're not bad, you could just get similar quality for less from less popular brands. If you're looking for best value per dollar my recommendations are KITS for the absolute best value for money or Polaroid for a little more and comes with polarization. KITS is like 30CAD per sunglasses and they absolutely do not feel like $30 sunglasses, I would even say they have nicer frames than some more expensive brands. Polaroid is my step up from KITS, they have a wide range of styles and are all polarized. They're the ones responsible for polarized technology. I'm assuming since you used schwood sunglasses you don't particularly care about brand

persol 649 or rb original wayfarer?

>>18176143
I own both. Both are very nice, the 649 feels a little more "dainty"I guess and the Original Wayfarer feels sturdy.
The 649 feels nicer, more polished and premium. My biggest gripe is the 649 only has 140mm temples which is common with Persols. Just feels too short, would much rather them be 145mm like is basically industry standard

am I retarded if I want to buy a vintage wayfarer model (5022) instead of the new ones (RB2140) just because I don't like the fact that they have a visible logo? I also think the B&L tortoise is way better than the current tortoise

>>18176397
It's all about the little details for me. If the logo bothers you then get something that you enjoy.

>>18176397
It means you're based for not wanting to advertise redditvan for free
