I’m Going with the venerable American Optical Aviators. Pop in some prescription react-to-light lenses if you in actuality aren’t a fashion-wear poseur and you have some trendy, versatile specs that compliment everything from a preppy aesthetic to Sleazecore.
Remember Gayban Aviators are for homosexualists. AO for high-T slayers. Know the difference. Rock an A2 flight jacket with cable-knit sweater underneath for bonus points!
Cop or Drop?
They'll be sunglasses too
Cop these instead user. Ray ban 5154’s the Clubmaster style. That arm branding on yours is a bit cringe. Nice style tho!
thinking about copping some clubmasters and removing the rayban branding
i love the mid century style, but i dont want to be associated with the rayban stigma
It’s pretty unobtrusive on that model desu. Nothing on the arms etc.
That is exactly what I'm planning to buy for glasses.
I'm in Europe so I don't know where I can find an American Optical reseller.
I'm hesitating on ether picking gold or silver frame.
I handcrafted my own pair if someone is interested in seeing em
Clubmasters are effay as fuck but if youre really gonna be this pedantic about branding just buy some reps. They're cheaper too.
There is no egregious branding on RB Clubs. Fleabay will see you cop legits on the cheap. The knock offs are fucking terrible.
eBay Brudda....you can cop vintage 80’s AO variants for sweet fuck all.
Yes post here!
The most effay eyewear will never be avaitors, I know that much.
Thank you for the suggestion, I will give it a look. I was hesitant to buy on ebay as every time I look it's filled with fake
Thinking about getting these.
post pls
Here they are, if any questions about how I made them juste ask
very original
>American Optical
>superior to anything
lol
Mirrored Aviators
can someone recommend me some new frames for my fave shape?
apologies for the sweaty face
alt angle
Get some exercise
I had a pair of vintage AO Aviators and I lost them. Kill me.
> not bay
? I don't get it
user you have a perfectly healthy “full” face, ignore these thinspo twink faggots. A wider lens variant would suit you. Try something like this ebay.it
Although this isn’t explicitly an AO fan thread one must consider their masculine profile, quintessentially American heritage and relative cheapness and accessibility re. Retro stock. They are wonderfully versatile too complimenting everything from sleazecore to Terrorwave.
Here’s a pair of 1977 “Sunvogues” I picked up for for fuck all from fleabay as deadstock. Wearing with react-to-lights
This is most impressive! What inspired you to fabricate these yourself?
Vetcore....
It was in the context of an internship I did in a glasses shop that had its own workshop
Is this Veeky Forums?
w2c glasses like this
I have a pair of those AO original pilots with the heavy glass polarized lenses. Bought them during the height of my "Made in USA" obsession. I found them sliding off my face when I started sweating, so I replaced the arms with the sort that wrap around your ears. Less comfortable, and one of the lenses is cracked in half and held together only by the frame, but I still wear them as beaters when I don't want to endanger my more expensive Persols, pic related
Fine work user, did you shape the lenses yourself or design the frame around a pair of shaped lenses you liked? I have enough jewelry-making background to make a decent pair of wireframes, but my major holdup is the lenses.
Yes!
Inspo for sleeeze!
I shaped them myself, I had a water-jet robot do it for me
Sick! House muc?
Thinspo fag spotted. Stop telling people to be anorexic retard
socially acceptable?
I feel like I could scratch your skin and make a candle
ah, I also love listening to tool
horned rim glasses would match pretty decent imo go to a eyglass place and trysome on and see what you like
From where? I'm also considering as my current rectangular ones without a bottom are starting to break...
