Alrighty now. The 5 pairs of glasses for Home Try On arrived Thursday afternoon. If you remember, I mocked them up a short time ago, and it is amazing how different they look in person.
It is also amazing how different they look when photographed in natural light:
#4 was supposed to be a Percy in Charcoal Fade, but it was unavailable, so I substituted the Crosby in Burgundy Fade. This turned out to be my least favorite frame, the color was too dark and the fade wasn’t much of one.
I showed them around at work to a few folks (of both genders) and most people agreed that the Reynolds in Striped Evergreen was the one they liked the best. I’m thinking that the main reason for that is they were the smallest and the least bulky of the five.
My favorite, sorta, was the Sinclair in Midnight Blue. I liked the shape, but the color was too dark for me. Unfortunately the other 2 colors this model is available in are probably too dark as well (if the colors match the ones on the different frames samples I got this time.) Next in line would be the Wiloughby in the Tenn Whiskey Fade, but that is almost too dark and then 3rd would have been the People’s Choice, the Reynolds.
I’ve lined up 5 more choices, including the elusive Percy in Charcoal Fade, with a few lighter colors. If the Percy isn’t available I’ve got a couple substitutes, but I hope it doesn’t come to that.
