wooden eyeglass frames

[GRT]

good/bad? spotted a nice pair and was about to buy, then found out it was made of 100% wood... so ya

anyone got one can tell me about it? does it break if you aren't too careful? does the wood get swollen or just turns into weird shapes in moist conditions? waterproof, like rains or whatever? etc etc

I saw a pair of Cartier wooden eyeglass frames, ring ya up a good 2k

maybe not the pair depicted (could be more could be less) but ya 2 grand, f that

[GRT]

ya, that company I linked also has a high end line called "wood & gold" which makes pretty expensive shit

the pair I saw is priced around 250, which is just fine imo, but not if it can't hold up against dirt, sweat, skin oil or yellow cheese

[Howard Roark]

[Blarg]

strange of you to make friends with a termite but different cultures so I suppose termites are like having dogs as pets

[Faris]

no, they're fuck buddies in my culture

Oh, it's your version of the gerbil up the ass.

Their version of gerbil up the ass is a metal rod up your urethra while you jerk.

2,000 dollars for some glasses frames? Ummm...no thanks! I don't care how good they look. I spend 300ish usually on my frames and I think that is far too much. I could always go the free frame route with my insurance, but those things are hideous!

I really should go into the business of making glasses frames. Two sticks of wood on a hinge? That'll be $2000 please.

[willriker]

those glasses in the OP link are really nice.

Ugly is the new hot, embrace your inner hipster.

Also, how are these frames being made of wood any worse environmentally than the oil used to make your plastic frames, or the mountains leveled to get the ore to make your metal frames?

the rocks obviously don't have the Gaia spirits that'll one day repel a giant planet-crushing meteor

[Diamicles]

they don't look bad but it's something that I'd never wear personally. especially if the nose bridge is metal, since I have a nickel allergy.
