I just want to know who knows of legit sites where i can buy 100% authentic frames, not cheap knock off shit....

I did a teh google search and i found some pairs i like on:

www.eyeglasses123.com

and

www.crystalshades.com

the first one has the BBB logo on the main page, but you never know...i can't find any negative feedback on these sites online or fraud complaints, so im wondering who knows of any places that sell name brand frames a bit cheaper than the usual?

I saw a Phat Farm pair at Costco, Timberland but they don't carry Gucci....which is what im really looking to buy. I got one pair i bought through my old Optician but I don't wanna pay as much as I paid for these....

Yeah chicks dig the glasses

my boys don't clown me, they're actually amazed at how much better they see when they try mine on "it's just like HD!"

Real talk man, I would strongly advise against getting frames on-line! You should really see how they look on your face in terms of shape and size. frames that look sick on the shelf (or in a picture) could look "off" when you are wearing them.

I'd find some eyeglass boutique and go see them, professionals who put people in frames all day. You can find stylish places that will lace you way better than wal-mart! also, with frames, fashion-brands are not necessarily fresher than high-end brands you've never heard of from japan and france that ONLY make eyeglass frames.

Take it from me, been 4-eyed since elementary school and always rock fresh frames, like these green Ted Baker's I have on now.

thanks for the advice....

the 2 gucci ones i'm looking at are a bit similar to the ones i already own, so i have an idea of how they'd look on me. and the 123 site lets you choose 'eyesize' for the frame... i assume i can just get that info from my optician and go from there when making my purchase. im gonna keep doin research though. thanks.

Right on, if you have a particular pair you already want than that makes sense. I like being able to put on dozens of pairs and see which ones look best. I've found that usually the first ones I see that look cool are not the ones I end up getting.

I'm a cheapskate in lots of areas of my life, but never skimp on glasses -- they are gonna be on your face so you might as well get the best out there. Also, frames are like shoes, you pay for quality thats going to last and be comfortable. If you wouldn't go to Wal-Mart for shoes than dont go to Wal-Mart for frames is my philosophy.
