im from the UK and with spring/summer on the way round I'd like to see a list of alternatives to ray ban wayfarers....

I dunno, I love the hell out of my folding wayfarers. I can fold up my sunglasses and put them in my pocket when I go inside. What's not to like?

I don't think I paid quite that much for them, but I think so. I've had them for a year and a half now and they're holding up like they're brand new. They're quality sunglasses.

I really want Wayfarers, but I'm no where near the point of spending so much on sunglasses. Feels bad man. Hopefully I'll get lucky and find a pair thrifting.

This. They're used by the USAF for a reason. I've dropped them (accidentally, of course) on hard surfaces several times and they haven't gotten scratched once.

Spend $50 on AO and never buy sunglasses again.

If you like the design go for it, they're cheap as fuk. They won't fall apart when you touch them, don't worry.
I actually have a pair I wore on concerts and festivals last year.

I don't think they can be worn in a smart way, they're fine for hiking, sports, boats etc. since they look more tight fitting.
To me they're like gym shoes.

>>5988408
depends on how much correction you need and how much you're willing to pay. These 2 factors will decide the lens thickness if we assume the frame as a constant.
You can give up on anything big unless it's just a slight correction.

I want to get some American Optical pilot glasses but there's ONE stockist in the UK who overcharges like fuck and is mail order only.

I can cop a pair from eBay with polarized lenses and whatever combination of frame and lens colour I want for £62+shipping, but there's three lens sizes available. How the fuck do I work out which one will fit me best when I can't try a pair on?

Bumping for an answer to this.

Are the lens sizes between AO and Ray Ban comparable? I was thinking I could try some Ray Ban aviators, pick the best-looking lens size then order some AOs in the closest size.
