So, I've found something quite interesting whilst shopping for some new Sunglasses (my Oakleys broke). Anyway, I found http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfc/Jaguar-lamapa-slb-l.html and
http://www.vintage-sunglasses-shop.com/designer_Jaguar_display_5.html
Anyone got a pair? Are they actually made by Jaguar?

My glasses (both pair) say Jeep on the sides. It's called marketing and licensing.

I fabricate my clip-ons, I'm cheap. I consistently use Randolph Aviator frames for the 'script set and the clip-on is made from a prior frame set.

I myself go for the really pricey glasses. I've got my two Oliver Peoples, and the Oakleys (broken :(). When I saw the Jaguar glasses, I just wondered if anyone else had a pair. This is my first time having seen them.

Well, in my defense, I'm OLD. I don't have th' least bit of fashion sense either. After all, I pedal around in thirty to forty year old Euro-trash! smirk

Dr. when I read your list of cars, I wouldn't begin to consider them "Euro-trash". If only I could have such a collection. However, I do like to look good in the Jag, so that's what prompts the nice glasses, and the whole Jag style.

"Lookin' good" was never a consideration in my paradigm. I just wanna DRIVE well. Heaven knows I'm no Cary Grant. jester

When I see somebody with all types of high price logos all over themselves, I wonder what type person's really there.

How interesting to scan the subjects of all the various forums and after seeing 'speedometer error'; 'back on the road'; 'ignition switch'; etc; etc..... that beside 'Jaguar' I see: 'Sunglasses'.... 'not sayin'...just struck me funny....

I thought Sunglasses would be a funny topic, but they are "Jaguar", so I thought I'd check with everyone's opinions on the subject.
With regards to people covering themselves in labels, I do think it is a bit silly. Their is no need for designer socks, but since sunglasses help vision, I thought it would be important to have a good pair so I can ensure myself driving well (no sun in my eyes).

Quality of the lens is not that great.. I am an eye doc and prefer serengetti drivers overall. You should have a family optometrist who will do better than sleazy online companies.
