Apologies for the long and picture intensive post!!

Looking for some PS Padfields, I came across another mega bargain, new $32 Paul Smith Anderson's, which are still "current" and on both the Paul Smith and Cutler and Gross website.
The Anderson's are the same 51mm size as the Padfield's and look really similar, even down to the metal temple squares...

I preferred the arms on the Anderson's, which have the metal PS signature stripe.

While trying to decide what color lenses to put in, I went to my cheap replica NDG-1's, which I made custom lenses for ages ago...

As I offered up a lens to the PS Anderson's as a rough guide to see what the color would be like, the craziest thing happened...as some sort of cosmic fluke, the lens only went into the frame!!...I mean perfect super tight, made to measure!! - But HOW???!!

So instead of spending time making 1 set of lenses for them, inadvertently ended up with multiple color options!!

And how about some OP Strathmore/purple homages!!

The replica NDG-1's must be larger than actual NDG-1's (50mm), which might explain why they fit snugly into the Anderson's 51mm frame.

Being now spoilt for choice, can't decide which I prefer, but I think the light purple/blue for now...(pictured with real NDG-1's)

PS metal signature stripe, set into the arms and it shines when the light catches it...

Forgot to mention I picked up some PS Cortland's in "workman grey" Lol.
They might be 1st edition's of the frame, as the temple has the PS dots, not the PS signature...

Anyway, decided to go light pink on them, inspired by Manchester007's 3000's he kindly posted a while back View attachment 1323740

Hi UV400. I've just picked up some Anderson's today. The size is 53. I got them off ebay but checked them out on Pretavoir, they also stock 53s.
Do the Anderson's come in 2 different sizes?
If they do is the difference fairly negligible with regards to the look when worn?

Thank you my friend.
I just missed out on the Giorgio Armani AR 7049 5290 which Ken flagged up recently. The seller sent me an excellent offer but it came during the early hours UK time, someone not surprisingly had snapped them up by the time I was drinking my morning coffee.

I've got some nice donor lenses for the Armani, Jannsson and Anderson's. The Prada will get the soft purple pink as in the image. I really like the look there.

Love all of your recent additions!!

I believe the Paul Smith Anderson's come in 2 sizes, 51□20 145 & 53□21 145.

I bought mine which are 51mm and although not worn by RDJ as yet, quickly became one of my favourite frames - I love the subtle chrome Paul Smith signature stripe in the arms!!

I bought mine not just because of the $32 bargain price (checkout p.208 where I've tried a few lens colors in them!!) but because they are quite similar to the Padfields, also in 51mm.

Plus, another added reason I really like them, is that I've recently just came across the frames pictured below my Anderson's, which bear a more than adequate resemblance to act as stand-ins...


(and ID'ed them too!! )...

Garrett Leight Bernard 1074 SGY semi-transparent sea grey frame with custom light purple lenses 49□22 140...



Here is some pics of my Anderson's alongside Paul Smith Kilburn's (54mm) to try to give you a reference to the size difference, although it's between 51 & 54mm..


I personally, equally like this style of frame in both of the sizes, as they both always look great on!!

Can't wait to see what lens color you opt for with your clear Anderson's, they're awesome!!

Thanks for a great response.

It was actually your earlier posts relating to the Anderson's/Padfield's which persuaded me to buy the Anderson's this morning.

For lens colour I'll likely go for a "crystal blue", similar to the JMMs which some of the guys have. I love that colour with the transparent crystal frames.

Thanks again

Just in case anyone has not heard my mpassioned pleas.....

I’m reaching out to see if perhaps someone may have one or both SA frames of the Paul Smith Shawford (matte black), and/or the Garrett Leight Canal (silver/gunmetal)? If so, would you consider selling?

Alternatively, if a trade of rare for rare is of interest, I have the following available for discussion:

1. Von Zipper Fulton Red/Black checkered (V2)
2. Olive Peoples Bernardo in SA Storm grey
3. Robert Marc 719 (gold)
4. Silhouette TNG (NOS) in original box

Please DM if any information/questions.

Thanks and hope you and yours remain safe and well.

Filled up the dead space above my Oakley display. I'm still on the hunt for more signs, promotional material, plaques, or whatever you call it for other brands so keep me in mind if you see any.

You're welcome .

Great choice BTW!!
I couldn't agree more, transparent frames with crystal blue lenses is a match made in heaven!!

Definitely keep an eye out for you, if only we could find you some of these Matsuda plaques, they would look awesome in there!!

Persols in the right size on ebay

Actually it appears that these are the smaller size 55 according to pics on the listing.

Got the Begley from the Movie Her

I also got the Oliver Peoples Zuko as James Spader played Ultron.
I even got the Aviatrix from an earlier find on ebay.

I'm quite happy with these finds!

Does anyone know if the new owner has officially taken over Initium? One of my last conversations with Jason, he mentioned how another eyewear company was buying Initium and the new owner was going to take it over back in November. I don’t remember the name of the company who bought them out before Jason passed, and everything on their website still has all the old info and the old PO box address as the official location.

Cortlands on ebay for 145 or best offer. Thats a steal!
