The Pantoscopic tilt is still present on modern original wayfarers (2140). What you have is the Wayfarer Ease (4340), which retains the classic design but eliminates the Pantoscopic tilt.
@@jeremyeagles3237 So I tried both rb2140 and rb4340 but they hurt both nose and head after some time. I guess it's a heavy glasses problem at this point.
These are RB4340, Wayfarer Ease with less tilt. If you don't want the bottom of the glasses touching your cheekbones, these are the ones, but.. IMO, that angular tilt of the original Wayfarer makes your face so 3 dimensional. So cool! I love mine with that super angular tilt!
I have been wearing wayfarers for about 30 years now. Although I do own some modern 2140s most of them are the original b&l 5024s. I prefer them as they don’t have the logo plastered all over them and it a more classic look
Great St Thomas location. Good luck on your continuing Ed classes. I’ve worked in Downtown St Paul for 20+ years. Certainly can vouch for just how nice that college campus is. Not a huge ray-ban guy myself. Been an Oakley guy since sometime around 1992-93. In fact. Still have my original Mframes. Still keep them in my glove box as a spare for when my wife forgets take along her frogskins. Currently wear a pair of bottle rockets as my everyday prescription eye glasses and a pair of flak jackets as sunglasses. Nevertheless I can appreciate just how iconic the wayfarers have become.
Your sharp camera & the sunny summer day resulted in a good display of your Wayfarer sunglasses. Thanks for showing them. Here in Canada, I've been wearing a pair of Giorgio Armani AR8049 tortoiseshell wayfarer sunglasses with brown Rx lenses for the past 2 years. I just got a new Rx, so I'm trying to decide between your model & the Tom Ford FT0237 "Snowdon" wayfarer (I'm a huge 007 fan & Daniel Craig wore them) also in tortoiseshell with green lenses. I'm leaning towards Tom Ford but Ray-Ban is iconic and I've never owned a pair. A few minutes ago, I had my mind pretty much made up. However, your video isn't helping my cause lol
I owned 3 pairs of wayfarers. Love The model. My "new" pair is from The early 90:s. I wish they still sold them without side logos and Ray Ban written on the glass. I realize many want that and thats fine but I try to have as little visable branding on my clothes + The blues bothers did not have it. ;) only have 2 pair left, one broke many years ago. Those frames looks good on you tough!
I retired my Ray-bans to "take on vacation status" after 10 years of service. Replaced them with Persol Steve McQueen's, which I was finally able to snag on sale.
Where have you been, Andrew? Love your channel! Thank you for your review of the beautiful and classic Wayfarer. I had a few pairs in college circa 1980’s. I need another pair! I have found that Maui Jim and Persol produce high quality sunglasses, and can’t be beat for service. Love RayBan, however.
After watching risky business, I had to have a pair myself. Went to a local store and tried them on, yikes, too big for my head! Then tried a pair of clubmasters and have worn them every single day since. Great for driving, even greater is a polarized pair, no more glare! Cheers man, yours look great on you!
Just ordered a pair of the 2140s in black because I lost my sunglasses in a shoe store the other day. Really going to try not to lose them, as they'll be my first nice pair.
Did you know that all these sunglasses are all owned and produced by same company in Italy. Actually sunglass hut and all the brands that you can buy there are owned and produced by the same company.
I wear Oakleys. They hold up better than Ray Bans ive noticed. Ive got the Holbrook metals and the Frogskins. Both are in a wayfarer style and are black
Been rocking wayfarer past 10 years. Currently on 4th pair. 1st my mom took from me 2nd i bought in blue(lite force) and folding my brother took 3rd one i lost 4th fingers crossed lol
I've you are going for traditional aviator sunglasses try the original American Optics. Still made in the United States and better quality than Ray-Bans at a lower cost. Excellent prices can be found on Amazon.
I love the shades, hate Luxxotica guts, they are a monopoly and really drive the price up by killing all the competition because they own the whole market, great video though.
I've come so close to buying these several times over the years. I bought three pairs of i-gogs at a sporting goods store's closing sale. I'm down to the last pair but the price was right. Knockaround create an interesting product as well.
how are the original (rb2140) ones? I heard that they are heavy and not really confortable. Did you tried the wayfarer ease (without the tilt) showed in this video?
You’re not gonna go all Casey Neistat and paint ‘em white, then rub off most, but not all of it? I mostly wear $26 Sams or Wal-Mart “over the glasses” sunglasses. The main problem with them is that the paint starts peeling off of them after a year. Also, the lenses sometimes pop out.
Never had an issue with panama Jack's, $20 polarized. No need to spend money on designer glasses because they are all made my luxotica. You're paying for the name.
Try Jomashop.com . I wouldn't try buying the cheapest you can find. Probably will be fakes. I buy a lot of watches there and I've noticed they sell Ray-Bans at good prices.
I got a pair of the New Wayfarer Color Mix with the Green Classic G-15 lenses recently. My only issue with them is I can't use the FaceID Unlock on my iPhone with them on. I had checked that on all the other Ray-Bans i was interested in, but forgot to on these. It's definitely a bummer, and I may return them since I'm within the window for that. The only issue is they no longer have their Father's Day sale going on, which would impact the other option I almost got from them.
The RB4340 is the same as the RB2140 with less tilt in the lens. They are more comfortable as they don’t sit on your cheeks. These only come in 50mm. I have the RB2140F which also have less of a tilt. The RB2149F also come in 54mm
@@dtnjnq I wouldn't say they are exactly the same front-on, I find the OG RB2140 have more pronounced edges, that top edge curve that makes them look 'cattish' is more pronounced. On the new 'Ease' version, which is the RB4340 as shown in this video, that feminine curve seems less pronounced to me. I own both

are the 4340 better? I own a pair of 2140 but they are "heavy".
2140 are better. They block the sun better. Which is why we wear sunglasses in the first place.
@@jeremyeagles3237 So I tried both rb2140 and rb4340 but they hurt both nose and head after some time. I guess it's a heavy glasses problem at this point.
I love the Wayfarers and have been wearing them for about 5 years now. They’re great for casual or formal occasions.
originals or ease model?

Timeless, classic, perfect.
Just purchased a pair of polarised green lenses with tortoise frame for £112 delivered. 🎉
This is an iconic piece I have several pairs love it

Oskar Larsson you can room all that without damaging the glasses a lot of people agree with you in the logos and they remove them no problem
Thanks! Great point about the Blues Brothers shades!!

An excellent model as well!! 👌

I have these in polarized I got them on sale for fathers day I love them they look so nice. I don't mind the branding they are legit.

Hope you are having a great summer! Cheers, Andrew
Please let me know your size specifications for this piece. Thanks.
Great review, how have they held up?

My wife and I picked up some polarized Tifosi Swank sunglasses from REI last fall. Best $25 sunglasses I've ever experienced.
Tifosi are my go-to athletic glasses.
Interesting I've not heard of that brand, I will check them out for sure.
I wear Oakleys. They hold up better than Ray Bans ive noticed. Ive got the Holbrook metals and the Frogskins. Both are in a wayfarer style and are black
Red Havana, a newer shade or light Havana for daily wear as eyeglasses, thoughts?
Been rocking wayfarer past 10 years. Currently on 4th pair.
1st my mom took from me
2nd i bought in blue(lite force) and folding my brother took
3rd one i lost
4th fingers crossed lol
I've you are going for traditional aviator sunglasses try the original American Optics. Still made in the United States and better quality than Ray-Bans at a lower cost. Excellent prices can be found on Amazon.
Love THESE!!! Do you still have them? Wondering how they held up
I love the shades, hate Luxxotica guts, they are a monopoly and really drive the price up by killing all the competition because they own the whole market, great video though.
What was the size you were using?
I used rb2140 wayfarer more than 20 years
I've come so close to buying these several times over the years. I bought three pairs of i-gogs at a sporting goods store's closing sale. I'm down to the last pair but the price was right. Knockaround create an interesting product as well.
I’m torn between the classic black finish or the tortoise ugh
Get both
I have never owned Ray Bans but I have had and still have Oakleys.
Sherry Carpenter don’t give a shit
Love my rayban clubmasters with the double bridge
what about folding they are seem good i got the green lenses with tortoise they are so nice i like it alot
I have this pair in polarized and I want the new wayfarer style in the same. I feel like I look weird in the original wayfarer
how are the original (rb2140) ones? I heard that they are heavy and not really confortable.
Did you tried the wayfarer ease (without the tilt) showed in this video?
Nice video bro
Just got me a pair
بسیارعالی
Better 2140 954 or 2140 902?
What size are the wayfarers 50mm?

what do you expect from $26 worth.
Where is the best place to purchase these
Try Jomashop.com . I wouldn't try buying the cheapest you can find. Probably will be fakes. I buy a lot of watches there and I've noticed they sell Ray-Bans at good prices.
Is that gloss on the frame?

well take the bloody things off when you want to unlock your phone LOL its like me wearing a Balaclava trying to unlock my phone!!
What is opinion for RB2140?? Did u try that one?
I tried and they are heavy, maybe due to the nose tilt. DOn't know if it's the same for these
Casey has a face problem, the branding on the glasses is the least of the issues
its like the Elephant Man rocking Ray Bans at a night out at the freak show!!
Lens material? Plastic or glass ?
Glass
Very nice shades. I had a pair very similar but they were stolen.
Bummer!
Yeah I know. What are ya going to do?
It’s pronounced “Tor-Twah”. It’s French.
No, in French when there is an “e” at the end, you pronounce the “s”. tor-twaz
But most Anglophones pronounce it tor-tus.
well, these aren't the original Wayfarer darling. The original Wayfarer's code is rb2140. These are the Wayfarer Ease. rb4340. I own a pair of them.
The RB4340 is the same as the RB2140 with less tilt in the lens. They are more comfortable as they don’t sit on your cheeks. These only come in 50mm. I have the RB2140F which also have less of a tilt. The RB2149F also come in 54mm
did you tried both? which ones are better?
