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

I just ordered Kirk and kirk Percy in Iris.

I wanted to wait until the Carter arrived but this evening the Percy were saying only "2 left" and at those prices it was hard to risk missing out.

I like the shape of the Percy, it is a shame the Royal c6 were still full price but the Iris are a great colour.

I've wanted some kirk and kirk for ages so it's been a decent weekend

I was going to get the other iris pair but didn't quite make it! So I ordered Ray in charcoal since the correct color is unavailable anyway. That's actually my third one on the way because I bought a cobalt blue Curie as a Christmas present for my wife... Cobalt blue is her signature color. Definitely worth snapping up at these prices.

Found Raen Ditmar in matte black/brindle!
And for $50, so a good week all in all.

BTW, does anyone in the US have experience with how long Kirk & Kirk generally takes to get here? Although given that the order volume broke their automatic email system I am betting they are backlogged pretty badly.

They might be the Raens that I saw last week, they didn't deliver to the UK so that disqualified me sadly.

I rang Kirk and Kirk yesterday, mine should arrive on Friday, Saturday at the latest.

I don't know if there's a US division, there might be as there was an option to connect to the US office. If that's the case you might expect to receive them in the next 48 to 72 hours hopefully

I began to think that British Steel was a reddish-reddish brown.
So I ordered from Amazon.
Is there no red in the old lineup?

He may have worn red shoes to match his red frame.

My little guess.

I've been buying up some more (not RDJ worn) sub $30 bargain Paul Smith frames, to service and add some custom lenses to RDJ them up a bit.

It gives them a whole new lease of life!!

Paul Smith Charlton PM8207 1188 in the larger 55□18 150 size and put in light purple customs...

My first pair of Charton were the 1087 (tort/navy) and a smaller 53□18 150 (from p.283)...

 

[UV400]

Paul Smith Erwin PM8189 1193 (54□19 145). I already have lots of similar smoke grey larger style frames with various light blue, purple and pink custom lenses, so tried something a bit different with these two tone lenses...

 

[UV400]

Paul Smith Hindley PM8180-S 1297/13 (56□17 140). I think these might be ladies larger style sunglasses...


...But with the dark sunglass lenses switched out with some light brown customs, they take on a different character altogether. I've wore these for 3 days and to my surprise had lots of compliments. They are actually a lot squarer in style than I originally thought and go great with matching color clothing...

Paul Smith Carston PM8236SU 1188/81 (57□18 145). Decided on very light amber/peach custom lenses to compliment the amber tortoise in the 2 tone frame front (These are a large style frame and I was kinda inspired by the Dita Thavos)...

Okay, so back to actual RDJ frames!!
While looking for a pair of these in matt black...


I ended up with some $30 Oliver Peoples Dbs OV5206-S 1009/9A (56□18 145) and added some custom light peachy red lenses to try to get close to those matt black versions...

I already have the lighter frame 1238/9P with light brown custom lenses (from p.302)...


I'll have to keep looking for some Dbs in matt black.

I quite like a lot of the PS frames when Oliver Peoples was doing the manufacturing. The Cutler and Gross made ones now so far are not hitting me the same way. Not sure why. It's not like Cutler and Gross are bad, they have a number of knockout frames, at least in acetate. The wire frames are less interesting. But that I feel is just a feature of wire frames, the medium is more constrained and takes a lot more effort to get a result that really knocks your socks off (IMO).

Kirk and kirks arrived this morning.

They're very nice - very different Lol, but in a good way.

Latest pics from 30th November...



I think these are Ahlem Rivoli in Smokedlight (51□21 150)...

More latest pics from yesterday, Soho House, London, December 1st 2022...



I think these are Dita Wasserman DTS700 color 03 (DTS700-A-03-Z) satin crystal grey and white gold frame (52□22 145)...




The DTS700 are sunglasses with stock grey lenses, but the RDJ lenses may still be custom, so the frames could also be the Rx prescription version DTX700...

In France, I found some €60 Dior Homme 0069/S AWN29 rhodium silver frame with the stock grey gradient lenses (64□12 125)...

The frame is unmarked and the lenses are immaculate, but the nose pad/bridge detail section and temple tip details have suffered age related discoloration, as the rubber/silicone is supposed to be clear...(I'll have to try to fix this somehow)

(What on earth is the dog doing in that last pic!! Lol).


Pictured with my home-made t-shirt, made with black and white iron-on vinyl, which I cut out with a craft knife and ironed the bits on...Turns out I'm a better ironman than I thought!!...

Another frame worn on the 1st December 2022, attending a special screening of "Sr." at Vue Leicester Square, London...




I think these are AHLEM Bellechasse in black with clear lenses (53□21 150)...

Good news and bad news... the good, there are silver GLCO Prestons on line at $90 right now if you need them.

The bad: Kirk&Kirk seems to have forgotten my Victors... the other 2 frames arrived but the Victors were not in the box. I have written a polite email asking about them, no response yet.

They forgot my whole order. LOL I got an e-mail a few days after I placed it saying they had high volumes of traffic and while my order was received I didn't get an e-mail confirmation. 2 weeks later nothing had arrived. I wrote to them and they were quick to respond and send out my glasses. Unfortunately they arrived damaged.

I've written back to them.

Cheers
