When I was in Japan in December with @Tempvs , we visited the Shibuya branch of:

Which is no more than 200yards from our Shibuya office.
I couldn't help myself and with a "little" encouragement from @Tempvs , I came out with 2 pairs….
Just got them back from the optician.....

Those are sexy specs.
How about a fit pic?

Thank you. The place was typically Japanesly (sic) brilliant and over the top. And they took about 15 minutes per pair shaping the frames for the perfect fit… I'm def going back with @Madame Buttonfly next time we are there together….(and I'll get some of these........http://hakusan-megane.co.jp/flip-up-frontround-classic-type/ or these http://hakusan-megane.co.jp/clip glam-round/)

People love to hate on the new Oliver Peoples and I will agree that the new Italian/Lux made glasses aren't quite as good as the old ones were.
What everyone forgets is that OP still has some glasses made in Japan. They may be owned by a big corporation, but I think it's pretty safe to say that whoever makes the Japanese OP frames is not a Lux owned place.
IMO the Japanese-made OP stuff is just as good as any high end glasses around right now. The designs are classy, the construction is perfect, and the lenses are honestly still some of the best around (polarized glass lenses are pretty rare in high end sunglasses.)
I still have not found another pair of aviators that look this good and are made as well as my OP Victory glasses. I wish I had bought a second pair considering that they only reissued them for a couple months.

…and "luckily" it shouldn't sound offended at all sir. in the end, I think they suit you really well...which is all that matters imo.
