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

Haha nice one!! This group is awesome for these kinda things..the smallest detail doesn’t go missed! Maybe someone could use that same high res for the end of civil war, caus I’m not sure the shawfords have been 1000% identified the same way?? May be wrong though so don’t crucify me if I’ve missed something
 
What would you say are some notable pieces of eyewear in cinema?

Im thinking classic movies like Risky Business, Taxi Driver, Fight Club, etc.

I personally plan to branch out to other movies. Any suggestions?

They Live, Men in Black, X-Men are just a few off the top of my head.
 
All those mentioned above plus the Blinde Design sunglasses in the Matrix; Gargoyles in Terminator and Matsuda 2809 in T2; Wayfarers in Blues Brothers; Ray-ban Aviators in Top Gun; Persol 714 with blue lenses on McQueen on the Thomas Crown Affair. There’s probably hundreds of noteworthy eyewear. Probably not exactly noteworthy but I liked the Ray-Ban Olympia in the Daredevil movie.
 
Anyone got the Garrett Leights in Espresso? Prefer that color to charcoal I did see them on ebay but I got beat.
 
It’s weird that we were questioning the colour of the Matsudas in the end scene of iron man, when if you look at that scene that and the SuperBowl ad, it looks like he’s wearing the same shirt/jacket combo in both...cdv possibly filmed them both on the same day?!!
 
Hi, if someone is dying to get some Persol's, I think I found some. Not in mint condition, but that's up to you I guess. You might actually not be able to see the page though (french hosted website), but if you're interested, you can dm me.


Disclaimer: I do not guaranty anything about the frame.

edit: misfire, should get some rest before I lose my mind

Anyone have any idea how to turn glasses black?

I got a pair of Diors in tortoise I want to experiment on.

I'm too scared to bring my black diors out in public as I already dropped them skateboarding and almost ran them over with my board...

Plastidip? You can peel it off if you need to

Apologies, I'm a few posts behind.....I've tried to get a good shot of the Shawford's for you, to put your mind at rest...

You can see the "bevel" metal arm a bit better below and how it tapers into the temple tip...

....the arms are metal "black gunmetal" in color, and different to the rest of the plastic frame.

Skateboarding in rare Black Tie 137's, really?! Lol

I'm also trying to figure out a way to dye my British Steel's black.
Rit Dyemore might do it, but you have to heat up the liquid.
I'm concerned that this may warp the frames.
I'll have to test it on some super cheap frames first!

Speaking of super cheap (and perfect for skateboarding!), I put some dark slightly gradient brown lenses in some reverse Neymar copies...

If it weren't for the different hinge set up (single hinge instead of double), for $9 these seem really good copies.
The size, weight and feel in quality seems just about spot on, when compared to my original s1948's.

Ah those are awesome! I think I may have asked before, but where did you get the lenses done, and how much were they? They look pretty screen accurate tbf
 
I bought the same Neymar copies and plan to swap in some blue light blocking lenses to wear in the evening. So worth the $9!
