Costa. I get em 60% off though

Jose's, Grey lenses, 580G, ftmfw

All the stock pics have blue lenses


I ordered Oyster Bay black frames, blue lenses. They had the brown/tortoise and green lenses in store and those were't bad. Haven't decided which I'm going to leave with. I didn't go in expecting to buy any, but for $15.......why not?

Oakley, Flak Jacket 2.0


Definitely my go-to when I'm out being active.

I keep a pair of Square Wire Polarized for general wear. Gotta love the military discount.

Nike and Gant.

They fit great and are built very well. I've got cheap glasses online and you can just feel the difference. Fwiw, mine are all prescription so the Nike and Gant brands were pricey, but you get what you pay for. I don't think Eyewear is something you should go cheap on.

That's not you, right?

I have to admit, I have long been of the school of thought that white frame glasses scream "douchebag".

Ray Ban all the way. One pair of Wayfarer, one pair of Clubmaster. Polarized, obviously.

I tend to agree with you there.

Are you sure? As I understand it, it was founded by two guys here in Watkinsville. If you Google it, you'll see it come up on the right in Google maps. I'm pretty sure they're homegrown, much like EvoShield.

It used to be Persol because I wanted a brand a little different from the normal Ray Ban/Costa/Maui Jim, but now I see Persols everywhere.

I actually just got a pair in today and I really like the look of them. The brand is John Varvatos. Didn't really know much about them when I ordered, but I really like the style.

Did you check them on Amazon? They're even cheaper, FYI. Those are cool.

These are just another Luxotica brand. A BUNCH of big name brands fall under them. Maui's do not.

Wave killer costas, I have had for 10 years. Only issue I've had from them was the lenses started to delaminates, sent them back they put in new lenses rock solid since then. I'm on the water 2-3 times a week best sunglasses I've ever owned.
