The Sunglasses Thread

Sign in to disble this ad
Inspired by the wrist watches thread.

Show 'em off, discuss, whatever.


Here's mine:


Oakley Canteens in Matte Black, Warm Grey Lens. This pair does it all - been my lone pair for over a year - most surprisingly looking great in a semi-formal environment.

I've been looking to get a more sportier pair, especially for running, but I can't decide what to get yet.

I have these in both polarized and non-polarized. I keep the polarized ones in my car so I won't lose them, and wear the non-polarized ones everywhere else. Nice glasses.

I'm afraid to buy a nice pair of sunglasses. Unlike watches, which I can justify spending a lot on, sunglasses seem like such breakable things and I'm afraid that I'll break them within the first week. I just have these Nine West ones that aren't that great.

I usually wear cheap gas station sunglasses cause I lose them or my wife scratches them if I buy a nice pair.

But alas my contribution to this thread.

Occasionally at least once a day the following website features fantastic deals on name brand sunglasses.

http://www.steepandcheap.com

and sometimes this one too

http://www.whiskeymilitia.com

You are welcome

Sorry, no pics, but...

When I was young(er), I didn't go outside the house w/o a hat and a pair of shades. You know, because of a supposed cool factor. Also, it used to be I absolutely had to have polarized lenses; because I did a lot of fishing.

Now that I'm older and more mature, and I can barely see sunlight itself anyway, I ONLY wear them because of a GENUINE cool factor. I don't even have to take them off while indoors! (Now if only I had a Miles Davis attitude to pull it all off properly).

Mine look just like this:

Polarized, perscription.

I also have a very old pair of Neostyle sunglasses, also perscription, not polarized, for sports.

Got these after the ones I had for five or six years broke. Mom told me four things: Be true to yourself and others, respect yourself and others, don't stick your thing where it don't belong, and don't buy cheap sunglasses.

Damn. I usually think I look stupid in sun glasses, but after seeing this thread there are so really cool sunglasses out there.
