Sunglasses

[BlackJamesRackham]

Those are some sweet Oakleys James!
 
I have a bunch of pairs from years ago. They don't look as good as the newer styles now.

Thanks man! It's funny, I went to get those with a friend of mine. He's a real "pretty boy", in that he's a sharp dresser, full head of long hair, and very in touch with current style and trends (I believe metrosexual is the term). He kept trying to convince me to get some Dior or Gucci sunglasses. I was like, "Cmon bro, do I really look like that type. Dior sunglasses don't exactly scream badass mofo." What I meant by that is that for me personally, being sly gives my look a sort of badass edge. Designer sunglasses don't exactly mesh with that whole deal. It might work for some, but just not for me. He couldn't understand my point, but oh well.

Anyway, thanks for the comment xnewyawka!

I always used to go with cheapo as I usually lose or break them.  A couple of years ago I went against the grain and bought a pair of Dirty Dogs.

And they even do a model that matches my login name - how cool?

These are now getting a bit scratched but I don't like the trend of large lenses prevalent at the moment.

cheapos here; my gardener left me a pair of "used" glasses-LOlL. However; when Im down South, I should wear better quality when driving. They do make a big difference.

Hey Red,
Oakley Flak Jackets (polorized) are what I wear on a daily (in my pic) though my girlfriend found me a great pair of Pradas that I might pick up next week.

Those Pradas are very cool.  Sometimes haute couture shades can be a bit over the top.

I wear Oakley Monster Pups

I just picked up a pair of these yesterday - never had Oakleys and hadn't been familiar with their styles for the last 10 years - last Oakleys I saw were those wrap around monoshield lens styles...ugggh.

I saw the Gascan and Monster Pup - and it took me 20 minutes to make up my mind.  It was only when the guy said the Monster Pup was on sale 30% off that I made up my mind

Solid choice, man. I have both the Monster Pup and Gascan...couldnt decide between the two so I got both

I almost bought em both myself as well!

Very cool. Used to be a Ray-Ban guy but Oakleys have won me over.

I've posted a new avatar pic with my Prada shades on.  Very much like the shape of the ones in your link, but with wider temple pieces.  I'd forgotten how cool they are

Prada, Oakley? Why do you need such expensive sunglasses? You can't buy coolness. Drug store store shades are just as good. Have the same UV ray protection. I rarely wear sunglasses. I'm no movie star and definitlely have nothing to hide from.

Hi, i agree, most of the cheaper ones look better as well, never heard of some on here,I usually pay about 2pounds in england, No one can tell anyway what u are wearing so u get the LOOK cheaper.
