What I really like about this is that it's not just another restrictive "guide" to which sunglasses match your face shape, but rather an impressive showcase that you are free to wear any frames if you size them right. A refreshing approach.

The first pair of sunglasses that I purchased three years ago, was Wayfarers by Ray-Ban. I am now strongly considering purchasing a pair of Persol's 714SM that was worn by Steve McQueen. He also wore the pair in the film "Bullet."

Several years ago, I stumbled upon the sunglass maker “Raen”. Not crazy expensive, but acetate frames and Zeiss lenses. I have four different colors of the “Suko” style. Unfortunately, they don’t make that frame anymore. Very happy with the Raen brand!

I’m a huge fan of Persol. I think I might have to get a pair of Randolph Engineering ones love those bayonet arms! A couple of my favourites are the Taylor Morris Rollright. Great video as usual Brian.

Hi Brian, great channel I just discovered on a search for sun glasses. This video has left me curious about the eyeglasses frames that you are wearing for this video? Kind regards

I agree, the 52 size in the Persol 649 is a better for me too. As a Clubmaster fan, check out the Persol 3105 & 3199.

Awesome presentation

Hi Brian, do you know if your clubmasters are the 49mm or 51mm by any chance? Trying to decide between the two. Thanks!

I am also fond of the idea of wearing sunglasses according to it's size and not thinking so much about it's shape. Although the shape of your glasses counterbalance or emphasize the face features, it's possible to wear any shape as long as it doesn't look way out of proportion. My favourites on your collection are the Persol 649 and the Chopard.

I was thinking about what you said on wearing darker sunglasses in summer, and I'm not sure where you are at, but I find in Canada it's more the opposite because of how much the snow and ice reflect the sunlight.

Haha what timing, I was just going over your old sunglasses video. It's a great collection, Brian! I don't wear glasses normally, and I've had little use for sunglasses in Korea (only for driving), so my collection is very limited. I've got a pair of Ray-Ban aviators and a pair of wayfarers from Karl Lagerfeld, but the wayfarers have reflective coating on them which makes them a bit too cool for everyday use I think. The sun's out a little longer and taller here in NY so maybe I'll invest in one more for every day use - perhaps a more toned down wayfarer? Anyway the new videos have been great, it must be difficult to come up with new ideas in these difficult and weird times. Hope you keep up the excellent work! - Han

Thanks for this helpful video I’m big fan of your style 🤙🏻 but i have one question: my face small same as yours and I really like your persols glasses but the only problem i got find my size. I found one online 54mm I really like it. Is it away bigger than the one you have 52 or it will fit me what do you think what is ur advice?

Hi can you tell me what are the reading glasses or your glasses that you’re wearing called? Can you do a video on that?

Hi ,what brand are you wearing for the lenses in the video

I love the sunglasses

Great vid. What size are your Persol 649 and Moscot LEMTOSH WITH CABERNET TINT? I want to add Moscot Lemtosh to my collection but I’m not sure what size I should go for. My Persol 649 are 52 20 135 and fit me well. Btw, if you want to add some quality high end vintage sunglasses to your collection look into Cartier Vendome (Santos, Laque, LC) or Fred American Cup.

great point on the size. I'm also not a big guy, and most glasses made me feel like i was somehow wearing my father's sunglasses, when i got my first pair of properly sized (52's for me) everything finally clicked. I tend to wear RayBans because i just like them, and they fit, and had to just get over the fact they are everywhere. A rose by any other name....

Hello Brian, thanks for the video. Do you feel like you are able to wear all of these equally, or do you feel like you mostly wear a small number of favorites? I tend to have only a small number (1 or two) of glasses because if I had more, I would end up not wearing most of them.

Good question! I generally spread the love around the collection with the exception of the OP M-4s and TBD Pleats--those are more situational. I do tend to get on kicks with a particular pair, but I definitely say I wear them pretty much equally.

Does anyone have any alternatives on the Vintage USS Frame?

What is the name of the one you're wearing? The round one you wore till the end?

The last Eyewear actually fits you well Brian, especially along the contours of your nose. The width is also appropriate. Nice collection Sir.

Interesting frame. Sort of looks like a hybrid of the Persol 649 and the Chopards I have.

The Persol 00649 comes in lens width 54 and 56 mm. It is difficult to get the latter. Also they have some photochromatic lenses ....also hard to find. It is worth mentioning the great Mauijim

I thought about many different ways to say this but decided to say it as it is: I read a comment awhile back about how conversations now are being more technology involved. It's as if the evolution of language is increasingly becoming more expressed through technology. Whereas once it was through face to face. This got me thinking about 'language' and 'conversations'. For example if I met you in person Brian, I'd love to talk about philosophy, how it has evolved and the current state and which is accepted more. For instance how Nihilism is now gaining momentum and is being displayed more often in cinema. For example 'Joker', 'Shegure' from no country for old men. Then I'd love to talk about 'Hegelian Dialectics'. That's when it hit me, even as I write this to you Brian, I never truly had a good, honest, deep, intellect conversation with anyone face to face. If at all the most emotional depth of a conversation would be through 'memes', it's fun to read and often good source to laugh at but it gets strange when the langauge used for conversation gets filled with 'lols', 'derp', 'simp', etc. Even as I type this, I first mentioned I'll 'say' it like it is but I have written these words not 'said' any of these words to you face to face. Final words: Its a great strength to use humor. At your life situation. It gives you strength. But the main point being is the most intimate, intellect, thought provoking conversations have left the natural way and if so is it a good or a bad thing? Would be a great topic if you run out of ideas to discuss wherever you want to Brian.Take care, stay safe man. Love your content.
