I'd like wearing glasses if not for the nose imprints and foggy lenses...at the very least I'm not mad at finally having a problem with my body that makes me look better. Roundish face + 17 pounds of hair = glasses tie my ugly mug together in the way a urine-free rug can tie a room together.
Ray Bans are always good.
I'm massive picky about not rocking logos on certain things. Glasses are one of them. But Ray Ban makes a few where there is no ray ban logo. And i gotta be honest.. the glasses i use for working out/tennis are typically ray ban because they are well made. They just hold up under massive sweat/movement.

Well, since they're made in the EU, there's the problem of shipping, for one. It's super expensive to ship stuff to the US right now, especially since the post office is f***ed and EMS isn't working from EU > US.
Also the dollar is pretty weak against the Euro right now.
The classic wayfarer and club masters are the only two I buy from ray ban as they feel like they're still made as well as they were in the 80s and what not. I just think their metal frames (aviators) and their newer styles (Justin's and Erikas) are made with cost effectiveness as you will.I'm massive picky about not rocking logos on certain things.

In the breakdown it says shipping is free. I think I just figured it out. The frames are suppose to be 50% off. I think when I go to checkout it's not applying it. I really liked/wanted them but way too many issues on their site for me. I'm not going to call and have them figure it out. I just have no trust in that site/brand after all this.
Sorry mate. Weird the site was doing that. I've never had an issue like that with them before. Europe is also pretty f***ed right now.Funny you ask. That's what I ended up getting. So I waited like 3 days for Persol site to work properly because I saw a pair I really liked. It's finally working today. It says frames are like $200 and lens are $200 so like $400, cool. It says $400 but then when I go to check out it magically jumps to $600 with no breakdown or reason why. Too much BS for me. If I'm spending that much I'd spend the extra $400 on Cartier. They have really good resale value if need be. I ended up just getting a pair of Ray Bans for like $300 and called it a day. Way more reliable and seem like they have a good return policy if need be. I'd have no faith in Persol for that. Great glasses. Maybe I'm catching them at a bad time but I'm done giving them chances.

But for the price they are for the polarized lenses, they're great for anyone.
Fair enough. Also I'm absolutely shocked at the mark up yinz are paying on them. Persols are around 300 EUR here.
As far as overpriced designer frames go, my Chrome Hearts probably take the cake. f*** are those overpriced.

Re: Chopsticks.
My gf was very shocked to see how well I used them. When she found out why I was good at using them she just called me a dork.
In college and uni I would use them to eat crisps and other snacks while gaming with my mates so my hands wouldn't ruin the controller. So when we went for dim sum with her parents her dad was like "let me get you a fork" and I was like "nah I'm good" and my gf tells him in Vietnamese and he starts laughing and then he's like "he's better at using them than you."
I still use them for snacks.
It's great having a set of chopsticks around to use as tube testers, too.
Speaking of which the 68 Custom DRRI 68 needs all new glass... geez.
