I don't believe they are. Jason sourced a pair for me in 2019 from most likely one of the peeps here. They were in mint condition and screen accurate.Anyone know when the Hardaways are coming back? I do want that pair for my Stan Lee collection.
In a post from Jason's sister not long after he passed, she said Initium was staying within the family. And going by the Instagram posts from before the end of the year, Jason's brother is or was running things.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.
Been holding out replying to this as I’ve been hot on the trail of a particular pair for a while now and wanted to wait until I actually had them in hand! So, I’ll play...Do you want to play a game....??? (Sorry I watched Saw). Post a pic of your grail pair. It doesn't matter if it's RDJ/TS/MCU or not. Let's see the pair or pairs you're most proud of or that took you the longest to find.

I have 3 answers I’m afraid.
1. My favorite and most special pair are the Persol 2430S. I love the frames for sure, but that SA lens is amazing as well. The thing that makes them the most special pair that I have is that they were a gift from a friend who knew how very much I wanted a pair and no matter what I offered, he wouldn’t sell them to me. Then out of the blue he sent them to me as a birthday gift. Pictured with stock lens as gifted as I would not want to change anything about these and his amazing gesture.

2. The pair that I probably like the most to wear frequently are my Matsuda M2002 in brown and gold, with screen accurate amethyst prescription lenses. I just really love everything about this particular frame and lens combination.

3. The grail pair that I have sought the most and actually had the most difficulty in acquiring are my Silhouette Allure 8141 in purple. I just received these yesterday and it was no small task I assure you. While I initially didn’t care for these at all (didn’t really even care to acquire them until a few months ago), I really do like them and actually will wear them (I did today).

Thank you!Great find! Congrats! [emoji41][emoji1360]

Hey guys, can you guys show how you keep your glasses organized? I need advice.
I have this poor system where I just shove all my glasses in their hard cases in a drawer without labels and its a little frustrating digging through several hardcases of the the same brand to find a certain pair.
