Some special sunglasses from Persol and Ray Ban: 649 and Wayfarer in... Horn.

May 01, 2023,08:23 AM
 

A fascinating material used for iconic models. 


The Persol 649, with two colors of horn and glasses







The Ray Ban comes with only one color





They all come at a certain price, around 900 Euros, but I am quite tempted, and for some time, now. 

Each year I try to get a new pair of sunglasses, just before summer. And I must say that the Persol in dark grey blue are my favorite, here. 

What about you? 

Best,

Nicolas

Between me and the dog we have quite a few of all possible brands, but (mostly) fashion stuff.... The dog is mainly into Etro, which are actually pretty good:

A few from Etro, one of my dog's favorite brands.... Some that I have here in the US, including Bulgari, Armani, Prada (would almost never buy fashion brands for clothing, but I make an exception for glasses and sometimes accessories! ) Her biggest regret...  

LOL, too cool!

Among those models, the Persols for me. A brand that I think it makes great sunglasses is

Serengeti. I use sunglasses mostly for driving and this brand has very good lenses for this purpose. Right now I am waiting for this to come. Serengeti Geary Drivers gold. ...  

I’m a sunglass man too.

I'm a Ray-ban fan !

Sadly someone stole my nicest pair after I had the BMW crash and while I was laying wounded in the field ... . I got a new pair but gave them away to a dear friend, I still own a few others (non Ray-Ban) off course but nothing really beats a Ray-Ban.

I always like the Persol design

The shape just doesn't work on my face

LOL!

 
 By: amanico : May 1st, 2023-13:20

Oh yeah…the Persol’s

 
 By: myles721 : May 1st, 2023-13:33
will look better on you.

Great sun glasses you share here. You know my motto: When in doubt... buy the two! Lol

Ray Ban Wayfarer and their traditional Pilot´s for me. Polarized glass of course. I still own a pair of Wayfarer I bought in 1988, so with 35 years old they are truly vintage. Of course they have a strong patina! Lol. I got a new pair past year though. Ab... 

:)))))))

RB Tech RB8305, the only sunglass that seem to fit my face shape and which is featherlight with their carbon fiber frame. I love them shame they dont make them anymore, I've gone through multiple pairs. Only downside, plastic lenses (light but scratches e...

Cool!

I'm a Maui Jim wearer.

 
 By: Steve E : May 1st, 2023-19:00
I need sunglasses for bright sunny days, and the MJ wrap around designs are a lot more effective than "flat" sunglasses in managing light transmission. Last year I ordered a pair of Persol 649's to see what it was all about. I found them heavy and clumsy,... 

Too bad.

 
 By: amanico : May 1st, 2023-19:49

I have some classic Ray Ban's and one Prada and I

Well they look amazing! I got my first pair of Persol while in Paris a few weeks ago

The look are amazing, though i find them a bit heavy compared to my other sunglasses ...  

Lovely!
