Default What are those sunglasses? And you what sunglasses do you use?

Recently I'm surrounding the market for a new sunglasses... I've been watching Best Motoring and I like those from Keiichi Tsuchiya:

Do you know the brand and model of this?

And you what are the sunglasses that you use?

Not a clue. I only wear American Optical Original Pilot Sunglasses. I have three pair: one for the car, one for the apartment, one to wear. I cant tell you how many compliments i get with these glasses because they are just a bit different from ever aviator specs people have seen. Ray Ban sells many different styles of the aviator but none look as right as this; because this is the one original aviator spec.

I have a bucketload of cheaper sunglasses. They tend to get left in the car and kicked around or lost. The only pair I have that is brand-name are Julbo Nomads.

I wear them when skiing or motorcycling because the removable side shields keep the wind out.

I'm a label whore, and my inner-fag couldn't help but pass these up. So... way too much money later, they're locked in my glovebox and worn everyday.

I wear glasses so I never have worn sunglasses, but I have been planning to buy some prescription sunglasses, I just cant afford it right now.

The ones I like and would probably purchase are these rodenstock ones, Cant remeber which one, I am fairly sure its the first one. They come in various colours, and can obviously get them with sunglass tint, and other stuff

I just have some simple 30€ sunglasses from Specsavers. They're the first ones that have actually survived more than one year of abuse from me. Even Polariond glasses twice the price couldn't handle it, and when they broke Specsavers was the only shop in the vicinity that sold decent sunglasses (my eyes are overly sensitive to light. On a bright summer day i go from full vision to eyes shut in agonising pain in under 2 minutes without sunglasses, and it was a bright summerday). And Specsavers have done all repairs and maintenance since (2 screws have come loose and fallen out and a few readjustments after people sat on them) for free.

If you have long hair I'd suggest aviators. Very nice glasses, but not for everyone.
