    The shades he picked out at the end fits him and his style very well. This guy knows what he's saying.

      +Nuralif Othman Most of the models do. They have small to medium sized faces/heads so the sunglasses give the impressions of the best and most comfortable fits. Just try some of these styles like Wayfarers and Clubmasters or practically any sunglasses with a designer name on a big person with a larger face/head and see the difference. The fit is always too small, yet, "One Size fits ALL" dominates the market because that's the way the Italian monopoly wants it. Ever notice that most ads for sunglasses don't even mention specific sizes and the few that do are listing average size ranges?

    well,they do seem a bit cliche,but ive worn wrap arounds for 30 years. Im a biker and trukcer and keeping sun out,and wind from whipping around the sides of your glasses and drying out your eyes, is paramount to being able to stay in the saddle longer.I am a huge dude with big head and wide bridge. I found a pair of bole that fit me perfectly, and i bought 10 pair. that was nearly 15 years ago and im on my second to last pair. they scratch easily just from putting them into and taking them out of a shirt pocket every day for a year or more. sadly, they no longer make the style that fit me so well, so my search will resume once im on my last pair.

    As far as brands go, I highly recommend American Optical. Made in the USA, steel frames, real glass lenses, and are used by the US Air Force. And if military use isn't cool enough for you, they're also the sunglasses that Neil Armstrong wore in space. I got a pair on Amazon for $40, which was about a 50% discount, and I love them.

    I've been a greaser and have had sideburns ever since I was 12 (I was an early bloomer), I wore Aviators and Wayfarers when they went outta style and then when they came back in style (I am not a hipster). Obviously the good ole black sheepskin jacket fits them nicely if you are into the sort of thing like I am. Facial hair can have a lot to do with it too, as well as the thickness of your eyebrows. Thick ones can blend in with the wayfarers.

    Dear AoM
    at minute 1:05 your guest showcases what i hear was called "ClubMen" style of glasses
    is there any way you can tell me the exact model of these glasses because all I see on the web are RayBans clubmasters that do not look anything like the ones in the video am i spelling something wrong or missing anything
    thank you

    My question is what about picking polarized over non polarized, is it worth the premium? And I wished he would have talked about lens sizing, every time I go online to look for shades, there are the lens size and how the arm is supposed to sit on your ear.

    To anyone who finds they chew through sunglasses at a rate (either because of build quality, or you're just a touch clumsy) have a look at tinted safety specs / goggles.
    They come in a range of styles, the lenses are impacts / scratch / UV resistant, they tend to be made fairly stocky and can keep up with abuse.

  • @PurpleSwan
    @PurpleSwan 9 лет назад +6

    No one ever talks about size! Size is a big, big problem for people with extra large faces/heads. Most sunglasses in shop for have limited style ranges usually in mediums and smalls or even worse, one size fits all. Finding a large or extra large fit in anything outside of Aviators is very, very difficult and expensive as hell.

      Try Police, Dolce & Gabana or Emporio Armani.
      If you want the more sportive look try Carrera or Oakley.
      These brands have a huge collection specific for men's face shape (larger than woman). I can`t wear most Persol's or Ray Ban Models too because 90% of the mainstream models are unisex frames but in reality they are better fitting for woman than men because woman buys more and often so it's important for the companies that the frames fits them better. Yeah it's unjust for men but that`s the way it is.

    • @PurpleSwan
