Is Moscot known for their good quality?
Thank you I’ll search for these
quality is solid
Moscot is good stuff, I’ve tried pairs on a few time in store
Do you know which size I should look for, I have a small face
Not really sunglasses are a particularly hard thing to buy online
If you can I would go try on sunglasses at least to get an idea of what lens width and bridge you like
hmm I’ll check them out but haven’t seen moscot sold anywhere locally
Doesn’t have to be Moscot
All glasses should have a measurement listed lens and bridge width
So you if you find out what size you generally like it’s a lottt easier to shop online
you'll have to do the legwork on this
but moscot is pretty easy to find stockists for
face variation and sizing is incredibly diverse and unfortunately buying secondhand assumes a lot of sizing risks which is partially reflected in the lower pricing
Sounds like you’re in the UK, try cubitts?
They do lots and lots of acetate frame styles
I’ve tried these ray bans that had a good fit
Sure let me check them out
find stuff that matches those measurements
Couple of other UK brands that do acetate frames are iolla and Ace & Tate (do you see what they did with the name :laughito: )
also good quality?
Yeh
any ideas on like vintage ray and before they were bought out?
solid quality! have two pairs by ace & tate and I like both of them!
do you need prescription glasses? old acetate frames can become brittle over time, meaning they could break if you wanted to change the prescription glasses
