Product Description
Ray-Ban knows its way around a pair of sunglasses—after all, it’s been making ‘em since 1937. Today, the company reimagines time-honored styles in new models like the Clubmaster Classic Read More
Has anyone received theirs yet?? Mine shipped on Sept. 29th and cleared the Canadian border Oct 4th but still no sign of them. I live right next to the border
Is there any way they are getting more of the black ones? I tried to join the drop yesterday when they were available, however the website had a problem and couldn't complete.
If you're going to wear these everyday, you should probably take into account the inherent weaknesses in the design. For instance, the nose pads are mounted on curved thin metal strips which bend or warp over time. This has been consistent going back to the B&L days. The screw hinges that connect the arms to the frame will also wear over time and require some fairly frequent adjustment to keep the fit consistent. Just adjusting them with some regularity wears them out even faster. Personally, whenever possible, I buy sunglasses with spring type flex hinge frames. They hold the fit many times longer and require no adjustment. I also prefer that the nose pads are mounted directly to the frame to take out the warping issues. If I can't find the design with a flex hinge frame, I go with a cantilever design which also holds the shape longer without adjustment.
I didn't realize I was talking to the Number 1 Ray-Ban Fan Of The 70s Through '99 (When Luxottica Bought The Brand). I was just giving my experience of wearing these exact same frames for 4 years straight and how none of the things you claimed would ruin even a casual sunglass-wearer's experience are a concern. As for bending the frame, everyone's head is a different size, and sometimes 49mm vs 51 mm isn't enough to cover every head size, so I'm glad they're slightly flexible at the bridge. It's not like I'm talking about twisting them out of shape or bending them in half, just a degree or two so the arms fit comfortably around my head. I can always have them just right, not too tight and not too loose. I also never said I threw out any of my old sunglasses so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. You didn't mention anything about owning Clubmasters in your vast vast multi-decade experience with Ray-Ban rarities and antiquities either, so I'm not sure what makes you so qualified for disparaging these frames.
JamMastaJewI didn't say anything about you throwing out a pair. I just mentioned that I had held onto a few pairs for a very long time. I also wouldn't vaguely qualify to be Ray Ban's number one fan. I'd be thousands if not millions of steps from that not being a fan at all although I did wear them for several decades because they were the best around. At least I thought so. As for your experience, good for you. May luck hold up. And, no , I don't own a pair of these and never will since there are far superior sunglasses available at better prices although I'll say that the best cost significantly more. Other than that, try acting like an adult rather than man child with bruised feelings over something as trivial as sunglasses. If you didn't like what I said, you had the mature choice to simply ignore it. However, apparently a few others who prefer being informed rather than childish did take it for whatever it's worth . Like I said, if anyone must have these, they're available at lower prices. I said that because I was trying to be helpful, not supreme in sun glass authority.
Would these be worth the buy if I plan to use these as my regular everyday glasses? (Give them to my eye guy and he puts in the prescription lenses for me)
NvMeIamMattI've used the Clubmasters for my past three frames and have been always impressed! The only time one's had a mechanical failure was when one of the arms that holds a nosepiece came off and this was on a pair I'd had through most of college, working in a restaurant, working stagehand gigs and more!
