Sunglasses...question

[redstrosekNic]

Hey everyone!

I know I am stuck in the 80's...but does anyone know where to find glasses like these? I would like to keep the price somewhat reasonable. I cannot find any Ray Bans that are matte black in this style. I'm open to any quality brand.

Where to Buy theses Sunglasses "No Man's Land"


Many of the glasses I can find through a search look cheaply made.

You're kidding? Sunglasses hut carries all the new wayfarers. I bet they have 30 different configs at my local store in my mall. Didn't see matte black tho. I like them but my head is too huge

A couple of computers ago I had a bookmark for someplace that sold vintage sunglasses. In fact, I think I found it along with others. Giggle that.

Typing in Ray Ban Style matte finish sunglasses in google turned up a place called etsy.com that has a used vintage pair similar to the ones Charlie Sheen wore in "no mans land." Style was listed as Club Master. Cost was around $130.

Those are Ray-Ban Clubmasters. A quick internet search on "matte black clubmasters" will turn up tons of places to buy them. -J

Wore them all thru 80's+ until they were sold to some Italian company....quality seemed to suffer

Just bought my oldest's daughters boyfriend a pair of matte black, folding wayfarers. They are out there.

The glasses are not labeled like Ray Bans are. I think all the Ray Bans also have the silver or gold accents at each top corner of the frames. Did they make unlabeled Ray Bans in the 80's?

It is from No Man's Land. I think many of the Plastic Ray Bans and made in China now, so I think even their quality might be slipping a bit too.

It's the matte black that I like. Sunglass Hut only has the gloss black stuff, which I'm not a huge fan of. The mark-up at that store is disgusting as well

I've done lots of googling for the glasses, and can't find all matte black (without the gold accents on the top corners of the frame), and good quality at the same time.

These are cool, but I dig the half frame of the clubmaster style.

Von Zipper Fultons (or Elmore's if you have a big head like me) are a great, updates version of the classic wayfarer look. I have mine in matte black. Love them, wear them everyday.

My daughter just bought a pair of Wayfarer's and we were talking about this same subject. I had Clubmans in high school that I use to wear. One thing I will mention is that they are more for the look then sunblocking. There is so much light that gets around them, you can understand why most go for the Oakleys and newer designs.

Thanks for the input, all!
