Anyone know where I can buy Persol 649 black in 49mm lens size online please? Did you try Googling persol 649 black 49? Because it brings up this on the first page: http://www.otticanet.com/persol.cfm?p_codice_occhiale=PO_0649 |

Swear down I did, Andy...though I do have adblock on, so maybe that's why it didn't come up? What do you think about grey shaded lenses...should I avoid? Also what's the difference between polarised and photo chromatic polarised? Thanks, Andy. |

I have gradient lenses (what they call shaded on that site) in a pair of my sunglasses, and I'm still not 100% sure about them. Looking at them being worn (as opposed to looking through them while wearing) I definitely prefer a solid colour. But from a practical point of view gradient lenses are good, as your eyes are shaded from the sun above but because it's lighter at the bottom you can see the ground / where you're going more clearly than with a solid colour. They're useless for sunbathing though! Polarisation is a process that (simplistically) cuts out reflections leading to clearer vision. Photochromic polarised lenses do the same but get lighter and darker according to light levels - ie if you're outside in bright sunlight they go dark, if you're inside in the dark they lighten. |

hey fella's, was looking to get a pair of the "Haight" sunglasses featured in this collection http://www.spyoptic.com/collection/crosstown seems like they are US only though, I don't want to pay tons for shipping or any duties so I was wondering if anyone knew of any eu dealers that might have them, if not, any glasses that are of a similar style? Not raybans preferably. Cheers |

They definitely have stockists in the UK, but I think they sell direct through their agents now and not through a UK distributor. You could try asking on their Facebook page, it's pretty active (assuming you've tried contacting them directly already). |

Who are these frames by?Or who does a similar pair? Not sure who specifically those are by, but have a look at RVS by V and Moscot. Lots of brands are doing that style at the moment though. |
