    Check the brands. Some fit with Essilor lenses and others with Zeiss. Maui jim will only fit their lenses into their own frames. They will not it put it into other frames. And they only put it in certain frames of their own.

    I think that’s what everyone was thinking. LOL.

    They are different. Ic! berlin is good but colours are limited and they rely on a patented hinge. It’s a more industrial look. JMM spares no expense when manufacturing but quantities are very limited so it is difficult to secure a frame. Leisure Society is more upscale on their use of...

    What you are describing is extremely easy to find if you visit a brick and mortar. Almost every company names something like what you have just described.

    Just a small word of advice for everyone here: In a time like this, there are tons of small businesses that are going through tough times. If you’re looking to get new eyewear, please consider giving your local independent Optical a try. LensCrafters, Warby Parker and the such don’t need...

    My suggestion...go visit your local Optical and try on a bunch.

    Of course. Any good Optical can set you up with the lenses.

    I don’t mean to be rude but that style is a dime a dozen. Way too many wear nice tailored suits but just wear “whatever” eyewear. However, with that said, it’s a great opportunity to support a brand that you admire.

    No clue. Never heard of it. Haven’t seen them at any major trade shows.

    Lunetterie Generale Cognac?

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    It depends on the shape of your nose and the width of it. Keep in mind that if the plastic bridge doesn’t fit well, you can always get metal nose pad implants. The shape of the bridges will also determine whether it will fit or not. This probably doesn’t help you much but it’s like asking if...

    The quality is not what their reputation represents. It’s whatever.

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    Effector and Native Sons are independent brands. Some other independent brands that are made in Japanese would be Lunetterie Generale, Eyevan, 999.9, and Yuchi Toyama to list a few. Dita and C&G are whatever, in my opinion. Dita is not what it used to be and their internal customer service...

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    Effector is well made. Similar to JMM? I would say so. They are very robust and sturdy. High quality Japanese frames.

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    It could be either or. We could do into depth of how to make an educated guess what it is, but regardless, it is do-able. Now, the best part...find a nice frame that you like.

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    -6.00 shouldn’t be a problem as long as the frame is relatively small. +6.00 wont be as aesthetically pleasing but not impossible.
  19. CityConnection

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    Thinnest available plastic lenses. 1.74 is the refractive index. The higher the number, the thinner the lens.
  20. CityConnection

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    Yes. As long as you get 1.74 lenses and a frame similar width to your PD.
