Length looks fine, but you sure you can do it up?

It depends on the lens/prescription, talk to Andy, I'm pretty sure he said they can thin the lenses down but are costly. Alternatively just put blanks in and wear your contacts underneath?

Another cost factor is the curvature of the lenses which fit in the frame, if the frame is curved and the lens have to be curved, then that's going to cost more. Again Andy can go more into the ins and outs of this.

I've just had my fourth pair done and haven't had any problems, but each time they've "warned" me of the risks, like Libertine said, if they're a reputable brand, they shouldn't break at all.

Got those RayBans you were after done in the end at specsavers, £39, same day with no problems at all and as Rira said they give you the old lenses incase you ever want to turn them back into sunglasses..

APC jumper

Wasn't sure about this what with people saying there was similar stuff about and the price but the fit and quality and great and, other than a couple of moth eaten Uniqlo jumpers, I don't have any knitwear so definitely keeping this

coming back to post that, you really do need to get some friends to tell these little things to.

I hope you didn't pay the normal full price for a membership. They are doing half price offers to young interesting creatives types currently for those in the know.

£115 delivered with the 20% discount code at End Clothing. Pricey, but very nice. Well happy with it. Thanks for posting it up. Wouldn't have seen it without you!

I don't know. The APC site just says 100% pure wool
