Ray-Ban RB 2113 Wayfarer sunglasses

The postwar space age-era design of Ray-Ban Wayfarers has never gone out of style. I prefer the tortoise frame with non-polarized green/grayish lenses, instead of black frames, to stay clear of the "Jake Blues" or 'Tom Cruise in "Risky Business"' look. (But Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, Roy Orbison, John Lennon, Kim Novak, JFK, Elvis Costello and Deborah Harry are good company.)

Green lenses are great for driving and are free of visible distortion, as you would expect from Ray-Bans. Cheap copies do not provide this. Reduction of glare is ample, with minimal disruption of color.

The fit is more dressy than sporty: somewhat clunky but not uncomfortable, and over the temples, gentler than expected. The hinges are intended to allow the stems to overextend slightly, and the manufacturer includes what appears to be a spring catch not resistant enough to snap. I decided not to try to tighten these as I became used to the fit...Read more

First of all, I'd like to say that the sunglasses are great. Since WWII Ray Ban has been producing a high quality product that never varies. It's too bad that more companies don't take as much pride in their workmanship and service. This brings me around to the second part of my review. It took approximently 4 days to receive my glasses. That's service!

I adore my new sunglasses, very very good. I recommend.
