If the majority of design houses had not dedicated the entirety of their efforts to working out how they can overcharge us with our full consent, we could feel a little sorry for them. Because they all have complete departments full of ‘creatives’ sitting at a desk every day, attempting to reinvent these simple glasses or it’s equivalent evergreen multi million seller. You cannot improve perfection, you can only make it faster or cheaper. These glasses are a genuine patriarch in a family tree thats spawned more luminaries than the pantheon of Greek mythology. They have the basic format of a slim version of what would later get recognised as a ‘wayfarer’ but with these extraordinary coiled spring ear bends that ensure they could never fall off no matter what the activity, moreover, they will stay in the position that you want them to. They are the same as the 524 model created by the national health system in the UK straight after WW2 to ensure an universal improvement of eye health in the country but were never made with such arms. We reckon it needs no stretch of imagination to declare that they are also a very close match for the iconic James Dean glasses. Not just because of the shape but the fact that his pair were deliberately a little bit small for his face. So if you are a man searching for that look, they may be appropriate. If you are directly familiar with the connection of wearing vintage to achieve this kind of specific look, where historically the precedent is just generally quite small looking, then you will be able to get away with these as a man. If you are not familiar or are not specifically looking for that, then make sure to check your measurements against what you already have. Pre-owned & used in excellent overall condition.
