Check out Serengeti. Some models run upwards of $300 but you can get a nice pair with polarized lenses for around $100 on-line. I actually have two different pair, one with the amber colored driving lenses (great in rain) and another pair with the blue lenses.

$300 for glasses? No motherfricking way


I wear my glasses damn near everyday for 9 months out of the year. Even if they only last me 2 years that’s worth it to pay for comfortable quality glasses.

I don’t treat my sunglasses like shite so I make them last.

Maui Jim’s are the best. I do like my Ray Bans as well but that is for more casual setting. Maui Jim’s hold up for my active lifestyle like fishing, swimming, etc

I’ve cycled through four different types of Persols as those are probably my favorite. Here’s what I have now:

Tom Ford - Snowdon (Dark Havana)
Oliver Peoples - Becket (Black)
Persol - 3048S (Havana)

3048’s are my favorite. Becket are probably my 2nd fav. And then the Tom Ford’s. I also have some Ray Ban Clubmasters but I haven’t worn them in over a year. They’re solid though.

ETA: buy those online direct from the manufacturer
(Or sunglass hut) or from a site like Barney’s or Saks. You’ll end up with fake glasses if you buy them elsewhere.

I can't pull these off, but Vaurnet makes some seriously pimp sunglasses. The classic ones usually look good on the people Wayfarers do. Check their lineup. OG Cat Eyes in a plain color.

I could be wrong, but I think Bond wore each of these in different movies. But also, I like your style. I have Oliver Peoples - Finley Esq. that are my favorite glasses. They are a version of wayfarers.

I used to like Maui's, but they don't stand behind the product. Lens broke on a pair I have where they screw in, they won't do anything. Have pair of Costas, lifetime warranty, have already had one small issue with them, they sent me a new pair.

Go to Walmart in the eye glasses area, find the iron man sunglasses.

Best I've ever had and they are $17.00, so buy them two at a time

The last pair I paid a $100.00 for lasted about five days before I dropped them in the lake so I stopped over spending

Shady Ray's

I've got 2 pairs of the aviators. I treat them like shite and they hold up extremely well.

$68 for polarized aviators
$45 for polarized wayfarer style

Break or lose them and they will send you replacement glasses for shipping and handling ($8). They'll do this twice.

Go with Maho Shades, based out of Orange Beach, Alabama.

Awesome quality at a reasonable price
