Sunglasses....

[Johnny Crab]

Accidentally order these cheapos for work(ANSI Z87.1 ok'ed) before Satriani started wearing something similar. We both have the same haircut so it's all good. Got one of each:
black=sunny days, clear=inside dark buildings at work, mirrors for fun.

Top gun aviators for me.

Actually, I had prescription lenses put in the American Optical aviators. No way I drive or spend time outside without prescription sunglasses.

Randolph Enginering, sunglasses made in the United States. Google them. Nice stuff

They look nice - and identical to the American Optical glasses but $50 more; both seem to be made in the US.

Randolph Enginering sometimes around Fathers Day with a good discount( 25-30%) a good time to watch if you want to save

Interesting and somewhat pleasing to find two US companies making a similar classic product. Good for them!

I've been thinking about picking up a nice pair of Sluts.

When you get up in the morning and the light has hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that streets a-runnin' and try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Spied a little thing and I followed her all night
In a funky fine levis and her sweater's kind of tight
She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molases
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

(solo)

Now go out and get yourself some big black frames
With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

I've got a pair of RayBan 3483's that are polarized. I stopped wearing cheap sunglasses a while ago, and I try to take care of mine. A good pair of sunglasses can last for years. And the polarized lenses absolutely help me to see better in certain conditions. And it's a style that's pretty classic.

Another old school goody, Ray Ban Baloramas. Can you say Dirty Harry ? Just found an old pair in the garage from the 90s. Bought them and never used them. What's old is new again, woohoo !

You know what I'd like to find? A high quality pair of sunglasses that are NOT polarized, so I can wear them while motorcycling. In any other situation I like polarized lenses, but the plastic face shield on my helmet seems to have a little bit of its own polarization at a different angle, and the combination makes everything look weird. Also it's hard to read the LCD gauges. Any ideas?

Aircraft pilot sunglasses are not polarized since the new aircraft have glass cockpits, meaning flat screens instead of gauges.
Here is a link to Sporty's pilot shop. And as others have stated, Randolph's are well made. Also, they carry other brands too.

Incidentally, you will never find a nicer A-2 flight jacket than the ones at Sporty's. They make great stuff. I found one on Ebay and I'm always amazed at how well made and comfortable it is.

 

[GKon]

I've been wearing KD or KD style sunglasses (I don't care if it's the name brand or not) with yellow lenses for many, many years.

 

[placedesjardins]

What kind do you wear?

Are 'mirrors' still cool?
I hope so...I just ordered a prescription pair of 'mirrors'.....

I prefer to wear non-polarized lenses.

 

[Blaargh]

Got a pair of these on the way. Mine have green lenses though (as far as I remember, I ordered them ages ago). I'm either going to look awesome, or like a massive, massive nerd.

...Probably the latter.
