Administrators Ferrariman Posted September 1, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Looks like a winner! Where did you find them? and where can I get a pair?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted September 1, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Those look like to ones I bought for $26.00 from the link that was on here or .org to the sunglass place on the internet. If you know what I mean?If you don't, let me know and I'll try to find the address where I got them from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Ferrariman Posted September 2, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I guess Wayfarers have gone through some real changes over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 They sure have! In fact, I have a very, VERY early example from either the 1950's or 1960's! (I think 1960's)The main difference is the sunglass temples are not flared like the wayfarers we know and love, they are just regular thin temples. It still says rayban wayfarer though!!

omaha Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Try here .These are what I bought and they were actually $19.00 not $26.00.I bought them in Tortoise Shell.Hope this is what you're looking for!No offense Ferrariman, but they look like sh*t. Wrong colour, to much print and way to cheap. Besides, they are look-a-likes and not real Ray Ban's. I bought a pair that cost me 86 euro's, about 140 dollars. Darker and softer tortoise print. It was a wayfarer RB2140 with black/brown 54 lenses, the biggest. DJ had a small face and the glasses were quite big on his face, so probably also the 54, but perhaps the 50 lenses (when he was really smaller than I thought). I don't think the glasses were specially made for him. They look like mine and they are not flat. Perhaps it only looks like flat on tv. He never wore, and weares, glasses so they were not perscrition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omaha Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I posted this message twice and can't delete it complete, so after deleting the text I used the free space for asking this question; how can I delete a complete posting?

Administrators timm525 Posted September 25, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 You have to ask the admins and mods.Only they have the power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProdigalSonny Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Looks like DJ is wearing what Ray Ban called the New Wayfarer back in the mid 80's.I have a pair in black and compared side to side with original Wayfarers they have a little more glass and a little less frame up front.The lenses are not as concave as the originals,so they are closer to flat,but not flat if you catch my drift.

cigarette Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 GlassesLook at "sons and lovers" at the end (funeral) sonny and Martin Castillo has black wayfarer glasses, same type as the brown wayfarer sonny uses in the rest of season1+2 ( flat lences, and the frame is almost flat in front. As said before, I have been looking all over for this glasses but I cant find them. I dont think thay are raybans but some type of "lookalike" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brotherskeeper1970 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 sonny wore the carrera aviators in season 1 and part of season 2 season 3-4 and part of 5 he switched between the black rayban and tortise shell wayfarers and then he wore the blue mirrored revos in mirror image late season 4 season 5 and wore the wayfarers the rest of season 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frame WAS flatter than the remolded slightly curved frame wayfarers being sold today that are made in Italy.You need VINTAGE 80's versions to get that look.

brotherskeeper1970 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 FYI RAYBAN DOES NOT MAKE THE WAYFARER STYLE ANYMORE! you can find either copies or the real thing on ebay just have to look around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
