My water buffalo horn E B Meyrowitz's "New Yorker".

If you ever happen to be in London old Bond Street do take a look at their shop in the royal arcade. The best bespoke glasses you will find in England.

Just picked up my first pair of Ditas. Excited, they should be here next week. I went with the statesman 3s

A good friend of mine doesn't stop telling me these:

best polarized lens in the world (so he says).

Maui Jims' polarized glass lenses are optically special.

They are noticeably heavier than polycarbonate, but boy do they POP!

I use a combination of Maui Jim, Costa del Mar 580's and Smiths Optics for fishing.  For all intents and purposes, I can't tell the difference in my ability to spot fish on the Flats between them…

Maui Jim - yup, pretty good in very bright conditions!

The Maui Jim rose lenses are the best I've ever had, unfortunately I lost them in a canoeing incident last summer. I replaced them with MJ stingray with a bronze lens which is really good but not as good as the rose.

ok, need some suggestions on Glasses companies to check out. My eyes have been getting crazy irritated from my contacts (probably because I haven't bought new ones since 2013 lol), and I've been wearing glasses more, but don't like to wear the same ones everyday.

What are some cool companies to look into?  I've worn Dior Homme for the last 5 years and a pair of Tom Fords for the last year, so I think some chunk to them.

My size is 54 18 145 (just in case certain companies don't go up large enough.

Cheers crew,

I have been wearing Mykita for the last 8 years. Super durable, light and comfortable.

dita

sabine be

a brand that jsj just put me on to but it escapes me at the moment

got to give a warning though that if you take a deep dive there is no coming back . . . but what's new, right

I’m really into Jacques Marie Mage. Small batch Japanese made, and INCREDIBLE.

I’m currently wearing their Sheridan frame in the Dun color way. They also have it in a smoke, which I really dig.

I also have a pair of Ditas and a pair of raw finish Anne et Valentin that I really dig.

@Appfaff these are some of the brands that I like.

• Eyevan 7285 - retro styles from Japan

• Kuboraum - German brand, more cutting edge / quirky

• Theo - eccentric Belgian eyewear

• Gold and Wood - wood and metal frames from Luxembourg

• Thom Browne - more preppy American styles

I'm currently wearing a pair of Kuboraums. A local optician is clearing out their stock of Gold and Wood, and I might get a pair in the new year.

Dita, Mykita, and Anne et Valentin, mentioned above, are good.

The thing to do is hit up a few opticians, and see what sits best on your face. It can be a slow, frustrating process. But remember, life is too short to wear boring spectacles.

[Appfaff]

Bam!  Great list @graeme - I’ll be sure to check those out!  And I totally dig those glasses you are rocking!
