Can't find Tony Stark's sunglasses from Iron Man 3

Please tell me everyone. Is the 52 size of matsuda3023 difficult to wear for people with tight diorblack tie or oliverpeoples bernardo?

I have both 52mm & 57mm Matsuda M3023's and wear both of the sizes.

IMHO, a "54mm or 55mm" version, though it doesn't exist, would have been a more "universal" fit for most people.
That said, I agree with gio, that the 52's don't feel too small, as I personally think this is the intended style of the M3023, in that maybe, they weren't supposed to be a large looking frame, but more of a "mid to small" size.
I suppose the very first time you try on a pair of OP Sheldrake, your brains knee jerk reflex is "NOPE, too small", but actually, they are a really stylish frame, despite being only 47mm. After wearing them for a while you begin to appreciate the smaller size and their intended style.

What may put a lot of people off with the smaller fit IMO, may be down to the M3023 "aviator" shape lenses as opposed to square or rounder lenses.
My very first reaction to the 52mm M3023 was that they seemed nearly like kids size aviators, but really, I think that was just down to years of being programmed of what "classic aviators" (and the well known aviator lens shape) should look like "size wise" when worn.
Once I got over my own "aviator" ingrained preconception and compared them to, let's say, my GLCO Grant with red lenses (which are only 49mm), I realized that the M3023 52's were actually a nice size and comfortable frame when worn. I really loved the size and fit of the GLCO Grants literally from the very first time I wore them - my brain kind of just "accepting" the rounder lens shape and smaller style.

I like to wear the M3023 57's too, but I think some of that "intended mid to small style" is somewhat lost.

Despite my rambling on and crazy theories, I guess it's just down to personal preference in the end.

Thank you for UV! Also, the smaller the 3023, the better the design.

Following on from previous post, just a few pics showing "standard-ish" aviators (Prada SPS50M) compared to the blue IM3 Matsuda 52mm...



Obviously the sizes are quite different, but between the 2 aviators, the Matsudas have adopted the same well known and established aviator design, but with a much smaller approach in style.

To make the comparison a lot fairer, minus the blue side shields (excuse the bad Photoshopping). Now we have a better example of possibly how small the style or "look" is "supposed" to be...


IMO, the M3023 look to be almost bordering on "kid size" aviators. Which seems to point towards that being the intended style.

I hope this helps in maybe subduing anyone's "knee jerk reaction" when first putting on a pair of 52's.

***Edit***
OOPS!! Just realized the result of my cavalier approach to Photoshop

Great Post!
The Police S8299M feel quite small for aviators when worn (I'm at work so don't have the dimensions to hand) and they look great on.

I got the Matsuda in size 57 - I didn't actually realise when I ordered them that there was a smaller version - but they were £100 off the regular price.

In truth I wish I actually owned them in 52s as they would suit me better.

That said I love my Matsudas

Picked up some crazy bargain $30 Kirk & Kirk Victor K10 in midnight (51□19) from their Kaleidoscope range. It's a pity they weren't in purple...

..But hey, still a steal on current $480 frames...


Not sure what color tint to put in these yet , maybe just clear lenses will do.

Alongside my 2 pairs of Kirk Originals...


While on the subject of Kirk & Kirk and in particular, their range of striking translucent colors, a search for translucent frames brought up some Raen "Rhames" in green (56□16 145). Another bargain...

IMO they have a bit of that green Kirk & Kirk vibe to them...

I dig the large square style of these, I think they'll thrive with the brown polarized lenses replaced with just custom clears. Exampled here without lenses...

Apologies for the double post.

I picked up some Vogue VO2777-S W656/13 (tortoise frame with gunmetal arms) 52□18 145 (from p.228)...


...And today, dropped in some custom blood orange lenses, which were the closest donors I had in the box...

Just added this gif to my profile banner (the background image when you click on your avatar or user ID)...

I was "soooo" tempted to change my avatar to this, but you know me by my Ford '32 Flathead Roadster.

I made a mistake and bought a different color.
I decided to sell this elsewhere.

Found some Warby Parker Arthur 710. I passed on a really pricey pair a while back, luckily it paid off when a cheap pair appeared. Added to my Warby Parker "mini" collection...


Mini WP collection excludes my Warby Parker Cass 353 (somehow found a 2nd pair ), which are part of my boxed collection of IM movie frames...

I found these Giorgio Armani GA448/s from a Parade Magazine shoot in 2008. Could not find silver but as a consolation for incorrectness, the gold colorway was discounted to $16! You may not see it in the photo but they are a bit of a wrap-around fusion, curved and not flat like the usual aviator style.

Also finally had a pair of OP Corsairs in silver arrive for $75, very acceptable price but you know what those look like already.

 

[Schlegel]

Here Sake, before you sell here's a picture for you! It can be a reason to keep the gold frame, or it can help you sell it, as you see fit.

What are the odds that he's wearing something like OP Sheldrake or similar for filming Oppenheimer?

Completed my Police Momentum 2 S8950 "His & Hers" mini collection...

I have another pair of red (bought used) from ages ago, but the paint had began to come off on the upper right hand side, so I had sanded & prepped them a while back for spray painting, but sourcing some totally flat matt spray in that specific shade of brick red was proving difficult. They ended up on the back burner.


Then I found the last pair in stock of some W03X (semi-matte turquoise) for £34.00 brand new with Amazon UK in November...

...And last month, found a brand new pair of red Q05X in Bulgaria for 98.00 Bulgarian Lev (about $54), The shipping from Bulgaria was the slowest I've had so far.

I'll still have to repair my first red pair, just as soon as I can source some suitable paint.

Found these brand new Oliver Peoples "Jack One" OV1090-S 5042/R5 (silver frame) 57□15 140, for only £44.00 on eBay UK. There was just no way of passing them up at that price...

Without the stock glass lenses in preparation for a donor transplant...

Still waiting for some very light blue lens donors to arrive, to get them looking more like this...

love these ones, they look a bit like the op hugh jackman wears in days of future past (which I have too)

Apologies for yet another post , but I had to share another ebay UK crazy bargain, some Bvlgari BV5006, for the grand sum of £10
What is going on with these UK prices lately??

I'm not 100% sure which 5006 exact color code the IM 1 premiere pair are, so not sure if my pair (or just frame only) are the 100% correct color, mainly due to the lenses being different.


...Which is also why I haven't got a "final version" info. case card yet...


These images better show the frame front and metal temple detail as gunmetal or silver with black arms...


If they aren't custom dark gradient lenses, the 103/11 may have the right lenses, this "not very good quality" product shot showing rather light lenses may be misleading...


I'll probably source some donor gradient lenses to drop in the frame, I've took the lenses out already...

I'm closing in on completing my "RDJ Movie Premiere Frames Collection".
