Yeah, you have to have a really big sense of humor and total social unawareness to wear the 69's!! Lol.
It was left open for discussion and debate here in the IM frames list, with all of the available P'8478 sizes...
The 69's are solar eclipse massive, and my wife has blue 60's which are really quite small and petite.
So, hopefully to nail these down to one size, they've got to be between 63 & 66.
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say possibly 63mm in the scene.

I'm 5'9 so everything that he's worn pretty much matches. Im thinking 63 mm with your guys' help. But I'm kinda afraid cuz they dont have em locally in my opticals and the 60mm 3000s look big on me already.
I'll wait for further feedback and bite my tongue for now.

The thing to keep in mind with the Porsche Designs is that while the lenses are huge even at the smallest size, the bridge is very narrow at 10mm, the 3000's have a 16mm bridge. So if you consider the whole width of the lense and frame (give a couple extra mm for the arms) the 63mm PDs and the 3000s are the same overall width. So if you want them a little smaller than the 3000s go for the 60mm, same size 63mm, bigger 66mm. I wouldn't even entertain 69mms at your head size, they seem to be meant more for that celebutante style like the Kardashians, or dudes with big heads like me (but even I only wear the 66mms LOL). Hope this helped with visualizing

So, at a guess, what would you say they movie versions are?...(just trying to get a concensus to generate a definitive answer for the threads IM list!).
I guessed 63mm, as they seem to be already a few mm off his face and closer towards the camera, as he's taking them off.
The 60's are really small in person IMO!

Those were made by Jason. The glasses started life as an Initium set, but the sterling silver was too heavy and they got swapped on set.

My team is working on an infographic title sequence for my documentary and I want to make sure we have our facts straight. This is the lineup as best we've been able to research it. Let me know if there's anything wrong in here.
One point of contention currently: after dissecting the scene with Jason, we're pretty convinced that the London Callings got swapped on set, with the black used at the party and in the elevator, but the tort used in the hotel room. Both were on set. Because of this, we have both listed for IM3 for that scene.
Once this is nailed down we'll be making a poster version available for anyone interested.

Interested!
There was a discussion recently about which Matsuda M2002's were used in the movie...antique silver/black or antique gold/brown (as used in the Super Bowl ad)...the movie ones looked brown to me. Might wanna check that one.

It's the red havana in both scenes. I've blasted the brightness up in photoshop to show it from the two separate scenes. Tony has not worn any London Calling besides the red havanas. My guess is it's probably a personal pair of RDJs that he brought on set. The "tortoise" look is the havana coming through. The frames are translucent red layered on top of the havana base with a cutout on the arm.

According to Jason, only the black and tort were on set. They absolutely appear red to me in the elevator though. I’m not sure what to believe.

I even own this pair and didn’t catch it in time. Good eye, thank you.
They 10000% are the red Havana’s, they’re red in the deleted scene in iron man 2 too! Maybe as wolfshire said, Jason sent them a few pairs but rdj already had the red and used them instead! Someone should send Jason the pic with the light brightened to show him...maybe he’ll re release them then

That poster is awesome, great work!!
Thanks for sharing this, it's much appreciated!
It's great that you have got access to all the right contacts and info. but, maybe a few possible tiny amendments to consider?
In addition to the already mentioned grey Strathmore's and red havana London Calling's,
The lens colors on the Shawford's and possibly the Cortland's (which in the BARF scene, we all just assumed they were light blue?).
I suppose the 8141's are debatable to make the main grade, as there is a quick glimpse of them (not worn, but about the same screentime as the P'8478's).
The Fulton's (1st gen) with dark green lenses instead of (2nd gen) grey lenses.
I'm not nitpicking, it's just this things so cool, it's getting framed and going straight up on my wall!
