I had quite a bunch of 649s. I suggest you measure your favorite glasses (glass width and overall frame length) and compare it to a 649.
Quality is all good, compareable to $200 glasses.
Colorwise I would suggest tortoise, it is dark in lowlight but works with any other color. Black is just black, when the sun is shining, when it's raining... But that is my opinion.

Luxottica overload. Oliver Peoples have become the Bose of eyewear.

Wearing a pair of vintage Raybans with so-called "comfort" cable temples this summer, but these cable temples are killing me, after a couple of hours wear it's like someone poking a pin through the back of each ear. Any suggestions to make them more comfortable, apart from swapping out the temples? The weight of the vintage construction adds to the discomfort of course - I'm willing to suffer for fashion, but not this much!

hey bro!

all my OPs are made in Japan, not Luxottica (made in Italy)
only RILEY is made in Italy


...and, I listen music from Bowers and Wilkins (and Classè)
