With all fairness, I can't believe anyone is taking either of these people seriously

Many of us, handsome men suffer greatly, from not being taken seriously 😑 Maybe, the solution is to make ourselves, look n feel ugly? But... I don't think that's fair 🤔

Yeah so no. To get back on topic. I remember hearing about a frame called the Saburo or some sort. Is that yet to be released and if so, are there any pics of it?

If by chance anyone has an Off-white or Lava Taos they're willing to entertain offers on, send a DM. (Rover Taos too). Thanks gents. Have a nice weekend.

We already spoke about it, an oncoming model. Here in a picture by swf999.

An amazing fit on the Schindler.

Was considering it, but the fact that it's declared as a women model bothers me, somehow.

Looking at this picture feel that the Vintage Tort 3 is really a rather bland version of the original (perhaps also because of the different combination with the lenses).

Got my first pair today (Jaggers)

View attachment 1902057

Are these the Ritz colorway for Mr. Porter? The Jagger has grown on me a bunch those look great.

I won a pair of Sebergs on eBay the temples have a havana inlay which does not show up well in stock photos. Going put something similar to jmm’s “vintage green” lenses in them.

Sorry, if I wasn't clear: the pictures is from Facebook, it's not me sporting the frame. Thank you, nonetheless.

Some time ago, Hodinkee declared that all watches are unisex.

About time we do that with sunglasses as well.

You're absolutely right, it's just a preconception, still bothers me. Similarly, It would be difficult for me to wear a lady watch.

I learned some time ago there is zero correlation - in fact in many cases an inverse relation - between the style of designers and the items they put out. Take a look for reference at Lauren with his tuxedo jacket and jeans combo, Lagerfeld with his weird high collar and fingerless gloves obsession, Flusser who’s just a fat sloppy mess … the list goes on.
Yes I agree with you, it's simply a misguided perception of reality. As a graphic designer myself, I see no connection between the two and Jerome is certainly not alone throughout history. Everything design and fashion is opinion based, and for sure success is a key indicator but nothing is right or wrong. Being an individual is what makes us unique. I kinda like his weird fashion sense but I'll say this, I absolutely despise his logo, but that's just my opinion which counts for zero.

Just as well you passed on it. That frame shape certainly doesn't do it for me.
