I found these Giorgio Armani sunglasses in a consignment shop in Chicago. Made in Italy, I'm guessing they're circa 1980 to 1985. Bought 'em for $35. Lenses were in bad shape so I took them to Friedrich's in NYC. They put new lenses in and threw in a super nice blue leather case with buff interior (I love Blue and Buff) for $50 bucks or so.
They go well with a Blue Blazer and a Rep Bow Tie.

tintin, nice glasses. are the lenses mostly gray or green?
Grey? How dare you. Green with a bespoke blue-ish tint.
I couldn't tell. I got some shades made up from black aa 406 because all they had were gray lenses. The look pretty good but I suspect yours look better.
I was thinking of getting some made with the crystal aa 406. silly?
This is very cool indeed tintin. x
longwing- I like the crystal 406. I assume you mean the clear frames? I always throw my Ben Silver catalog out after one read in the bathroom so I'm not able to refer to it.
Ms R- Thanks for the visit to my paltry little blog. Your site makes me feel like a 6 year old with a very small box of crayons.
I've my Ray-Ban Wayfarer II's from the outlet branch of Nordstrom: $140+ sunglasses, marked down to $50, which, for as well as they're built (practically indestructible given the countless times they've accidentally slid out of a breast pocket), are well worth it. Needless to say, I'll buy and wear those for a long time to come.
i recently bought a pair of sunglasses from American Optical. Classic and great value.
