Sun glasses thread
« on: September 05, 2014, 10:37:38 AM »
I was just curious? I've always wanted nice ones, but I know how I get when I pak. Anyways, Ms. wacky wants a new pair of ray bans for her bday. I just got her these bad boys. I think I got a good deal on them too.

I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

costas. ray-bans arent actually pud, just the wayfarer hipster ones that everyone and their mother wears are.

oakleys are pud, tho. for real.

I bought mine with my HSA account.  Pretty sweet deal.  Alternative investment vehicle and luxory accessory account.  Also, for getting sick and stuff I guess.

Ray Bans are good. I've had a couple of pair over the years. I know have a pair of Maui Jims that I really like.

I wouldn't buy my wife a pair of sunglasses because the fit and look can vary quite a bit from person to person and style to style. Make certain Ms.Wacky really loves them, and if not, bring her back to buy a pair that she does love.

Hey, on another note, are you coming to TCU!?!?

I like knockoff raybans. But I feel guilty because I don't know the conditions where they were made. Then I hand over $5 or so and put on my new sunglasses.

I like my Ray Bans, but my one complaint is that they are too heavy.  When I walk indoors, I like to put my sunglasses on my shirt and not over my head.  If I bend down why they are clipped on my shirt they slide off because they are too heavy.

That is my one complaint with the style of Maui Jims that I have. I don't know if it is too heavy, or just how the weight is distributed.

I like the Maui Jims I have now and they are not heavy at all....although I never put them on my shirt. Also I would never buy a pair of sunglasses without being able to try them on so someone buying them for me would not work very well...hopefully it is not a problem for her to go exchange them.

Ray Ban New Wayfarers with polarized lenses. I recommend the polarized lenses to everyone, especially if you drive a lot. You can practically stare at the sun with these bad boys  :gocho:

these? https://www.costadelmar.com/shop/sunglasses what, is it 1993 already?

ray bans are great, well worth the money. especially aviators. great gift, wacky. (wayfarers are also great. i mean, 60's bob dylan, for christ's sake.)

I paid $20 for a pair of sunglasses once.  Lost them in the lake 2 hours later. Never again.
