LOL he once claimed to have run out and bought a brand new e90 m3, which he posted one picture of at a car show. i remember the picture had his finger in it and it was the most disgusting, chewed up finger i've ever seen. that's when i started to think he was full of shit...and sure enough, he was! after enough digging, he was found to have no car and his PARENTS have a 335d. such a tool. |

Most of the big name frames are produced by one of a few large frame manufacturers such as luxotica and safilo. Some designers choose to not license their stuff and produce their own lines. Companies like Maui Jim pride themselves their lens quality. Most of the large manufactures also have a corresponding lens company which makes their own lenses. |

and yes I'm aware that there are companies that produce their own lenses (part of the reason why I buy Maui Jim).

Also essilor doesn't produce frames. And with most sunglasses you are paying for the name and not the quality of the lens. Oakley and Maui Jim make some of the highest quality lenses on the market when it comes to sunglasses. Also, unless your talking about transitions, essilor is generally more in the business of making lenses for regular glasses. |

And yes those glasses in my pic are a little too teardropped, I think those might actually be my Banana Republic pair I use when I can't find the raybans. |

Nice. I rock similar MJs with prescription lenses in them.
Their basically the same but instead of the nylon theyre made of titanium, a little thinner frame and dont have hinges. |

never had prescription sunglasses before. i'm thinking about getting prescription maui jims. i got a pair of sugar beach (pretty much looks like lighthouse), and i love them.. super light weight, just feels a little too fragile sometimes. been meaning to get another pair of maui jims ever since airport destroyed my other pair.

Ray Bans Ray Bans Ray Bans!
I love em, but after this thread I'm going to grab some Mauis, the ones above are nice. I don't wear trendy clothes, or things like that, but I do value a good pair of shades and comfortable socks. |

I personally like the ray ban styles and their priced right, they just dont work for me. Most other aviators do. MJs are a good purchase and last forever. I believe Persol makes glass lensed aviators. |
