Convinced me to look into Walkers for the future.

Anyone happened to have any "on-face" Dealan vs. Walker comparison pictures?

Dealans are about as big as can work on my face as opticals, and the frame width is 142mm. Walker seems to be 145mm.

Hello friends. Recently saw a deal on a Walker in Root Beer. I’m obsessed with my Ascaris so I bought it for to its similar but different enough rounded shape. Not totally convinced I love them, opinions??

I actually like both, BUT...

If you're going to keep the lenses as they are, then definitely stick with the Walker. I have that same Agar Ascari, but with a dark grey polarized lens switch. IMHO Ascari frames only look good with dark lenses which obscure your eyes; light tints don't work with this style.

Much better IMO.

I was fiending over the Ascaris in Vintage Tort.

I've a similiar face shape and size to Hayden and thankfully now I can write them off, I don't think they'd work on me.
Can totally relate on the vintage tort! It’s super interesting to see what folks think. I love the Ascari even on a more oval face shape even though I’ll admit it’s not the look most would go for. It almost enhances the over the top styling of the frame to me. But maybe I’m just blinded by my love for the frame! I do really like the walker though now that I have it in hand.

I still have the super dark lenses the Ascari in Vanta came with but I threw these in so I could still wear them to work. I like both a lot too and agree with the darker the better sentiment in the Ascari. They will be a murdered out pair again one day for sure but I needed to allow them more face time!

Oooh, I didn't even think about the dark lens aspect, that must be the difference.

I also love the Ascari online, but I've been so hesitant on trying it. It seems like it looks good face on, but on 3/4 front views, the glasses "telescope" out of most people's faces.

It is over the top for sure, not sure if it's for me.

Hey all, regretfully, I have decided to part ways with my Yves - these are officially for sale. I love the frame. Love the color. The shape just doesn't work for my face.

They come with all the original stuff with the exception of the model certificate. The only noticeable flaw is that one of the rivets on the right temple is a bit tarnished (see photo #6). I'd like to get $525 shipped anywhere CONUS.

Anyone have real life pics of the Squarzi Enzo in beige?

Best photo I’ve seen so far.

After lots of searching online and frustration with every case being too small, I finally found a good case for my newish Fellinis! The JMM case was pretty expensive for pleather and didn't ship to Australia, so I went for this cool Celyfos case that I found on Etsy. They have an Oxblood colorway that looks pretty 'JMMish' so I went with that one.

Link to case: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/645587437/leather-sunglasses-case-oxblood-red
