The Spectacles Thread.

yes from here..

I suppose since Coastal doesn't ship out of the States, a forwarder will have to be used? Which forwarder did you go for?

Did you try Coastal's "first-pair-free" coupon-code?

Those who wear specs will understand this problem.

Finding the RIGHT frame that SUITS your face is very hard.

It takes me yearssssss to understand this.

Hard Myopic Truths.

It took me 20 years & no less than 20k to understand this hard truth. Paid a very heavy price.

I was searching for a very long time for nice looking cheap frames with the look and fit of higher end frames. Trust me, i went to a lot of shops and tried a lot of frames, but i couldn't find any. Maybe all the nicer looking cheap stuff was bought already

You couldnt find any becos there isnt any such cheap & good. U wan good ones u got to pay a price for it. Those that u see looks good & cheap are produced in bulk & likely made in china factories to cut dwn costs. In that case how good can their quality craftsmanship be?

And usually good optical brands have in house designers to mould the fitting of the frames before production. Cheapo brands just anyhow hoot a mould and produce so how good fit u expect? On par with highend frames? In optical line v difficult la.

This is not about online vs local prices leh. Of course online is gonna be cheaper.

Oakley, Prada, ray ban, Armani is your idea of good eyewear brands? They've got nothing on legit brands.

 

[Nakedtoes]

Yeah lar to u high class ppl Oakley, Prada, ray ban, Armani are lousy brands lar. It's not about online or local shop. I know got rent to cover but can see how much they earn.

noinimod, there's no necessity to tell people who dont know or dont care about optical brands vs designer brands la, as long as its cheap to them its a good hoot. Just dont need bother. If got big heads go online buy sure waste $ end up cant wear also becos we cnat even try out the pysical spec in the first place how to buy online, like guessing game. Sometimes look good online dont mean will look good on actual person. I always take foto with my ifone when i try out frames in the shop then go home review & think thru abt the look & fit too before deciding to hoot or not. Most of the time this way wont make so much errors liao. Ahboy, u also heard me?? Dont luan luan cheong. Not sure abt fit try longer on the spot then go home think whether fit u or not after lens inserted. Yur swissflex so flimsy ofcos no sarpork on yur face la... ages ago told u to throw liao & forget abt it but u still keep bringing it up, as if u lost 10k on swissflex liketat.
