[QUOTE="riff raff, post: 541276, member: 1771"] I tend to keep my sunglasses for two or three decades, so I don't mind paying a premium. I keep them so long, they come back in style, eventually (not that it matters....) I used to be a Ray-Ban fan, but now it is hard to find a pair with wire-core temples (a must have) I did finally locate a pair of Wayfarers on Ebay, I'm getting prescription lens put in them. This will be my first pair of prescription sunglasses ever! I have a pair of Ray-Ban Baloramas from the late 80's (Dirty Harry's sunglasses). I broke them (put a leash on them, not good for non-spring hinges). When I attmpeted to find another pair, I learned that vintage Ray-Bans are like vintage Dunhills. I had them repaired, but I'm careful with them now.. To keep them for more than a year or so, glass lens are also a requirement. Not many do glass any more. Ray-Ban (you have to look very hard to find a decent pair these days), Smith (no spring hinges or wire-core temples) offer glass. I bought a pair of Maui Jim's two years ago, that have all those features and they have been excellent. [/QUOTE]
