Leon: The Professional glasses?
- Thread starter Wolfshire
- Start date
Yes I know, "holy thread revival, Batman."
It was quite a feat to get this much information but I have been unable to further pin down the sunglasses.
Can someone tell me which model number of sunglasses he wears? I have gone through every page of google's results without success.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This one looks pretty close. Maybe without the 2nd bar.
I found it on ebay. The model number is 569103.

I've also been searching for a pair of glasses that most closely resemble Jean Reno's from the movie, been searching for a long long time. While this pair obviously isn't too similar to the pair he wore, they still do look pretty awesome.
Is there some place I can purchase this exact pair? I've searched all over ebay and even used the model number while searching and not had any luck... =(
The lenses are round with the hinges mounted in the center of the vertical -
Here are some similar :

Nah, they're just clear with a metal core, like this.
You can see where the metal starts flat and tapers to a wire core about an inch back. The outline of the clear acetate is there if you look closely.
Worst case, if you wanted, you could have them custom made. I just had a similar pair made and it ran me $275, quite a bit cheaper than a premium frame and they're exactly what I wanted. Picked the color, modified the shape and size of an existing frame, waited eight months, and total satisfaction after looking for the frame for twenty years(the one that got away).
They can make you exactly what you want. PM me for contact info if you're interested.

I found these.. They look to be a dead match.. Not sure if they have the metal core like the originals.. Although it looks as though they do!

These are the Black Eyewear Chico MCCS Matt Clear Crystal sunglasses that i purchased for my costume which is still in construction.
They're very close.
Roope makes vintage look-a-likes. Even they say so. They even say the Blues Brothers were wearing Roopes, when it was Ray Bans, I think.

Honestly, they cost me around $260.00 in the end. But i figure it was well worth it. They are beautiful glasses that i will wear with or without my costume.
I think they are near identical replica's of the frames used in the film, other than 1 minor difference which is at the tip of the earpiece. They are stunning replicas in my opinion and I am more than pleased with them despite the hefty price tag.
