Need some new shades, and I am getting bored of all the usual guff, is there anything or anyone out there doing something a bit different but still classy?

What’s the heritage of your bike/car/speedboat/hovercraft?

Picked up some Vuarnets when in France recently. Lenses are excellent and, well, yeah, they’re a bit different from the usual herd sunnies in the UK.

Vuarnet are a rather good suggestion there. Mrs CFH has a pair and the lenses are indeed excellent.

they’re all too fast,….no one would see my coolness, i’ll just be slinking along looking sexy on two legs.

Always liked Arnet, they went a bit mainstream when they were sold and the name changed to Arnette, but they still do some interesting styles. Woodies are quite nice, but you’re pretty much stuck with a Wayfarer/Frogskin stylee.

These are a bit different, and cheapish: http://www.julbousa.com/mountain/

Oooh…one of my favourite pairs ever were a pair of Arnettes – one of the few pairs I really was sorry to lose. Are they still around?

Arnette are, they still do a couple of the original styles, like the wraparound Ravens. Which ones did you have?
I’ve got a couple of pairs of Ravens, one pair I had Rx lenses in, and I’ve recently got some new lenses for those from Australia, I’ve got a pair of Steel Ravens, a couple of pairs of Black Dogs, a pair of Hornets, and a pair of Dusters.
Hornets are lovely, Italian made, proper metal frames with glass lenses, they never caught on and I can’t find a single reference to them anywhere! I got mine from a bike shop in Vail, they were just about to send them back due to lack of interest. I love them, and treasure them, they’re irreplaceable.
Just had a look at the Arnette site, and they’ve actually got some nice styles, the OP might like some of theirs, they’re not too well known these days; the Beasty Boys made the Ravens famous back in the 90’s.

Bit different? and someone post Oakleys 😆
How about Woodsies on SportPursuit? Wooden frames, certainly different 🙂

These Oakleys were more than a little bit different! 😡

I have some lovely titanium Lindbergs with the most amazing Zeiss lenses.

Make Oakleys look cheap.

I got some Persol ones recently. Really, really well made and they were good enough for Steve McQueen…

As above Persol are very good their folding glasses are excellent, I got a nice pair of Tom Fords last year, got 75% off
