The One & Only February 3, 2008

This is the one from the beginning, the one that spawned imitations and spin-offs. The original Wayfarer is the one that never goes out of style for men and women; and always looks good in any type of apparel. Right out of the box, the 2140 fits me without any needed adjustments. Its dimensions are ideally suited for average-sized faces whose pupil-to-pupil distance is around 2.75 to 3 inches.
The quality construction can clearly be seen and felt...from the heavy-duty hinges, to the R-B engraving on the left lens, to the material used for the black frame. There is no comparing the Ray-Ban Wayfarer to the cheaply-made third-world copies; they can't compete except for the price. Sooner or later, people will learn that you get what you pay for.
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer is a true classic in a world of wanna-be's.
Please note the differences between the 50/22 and 54/18 November 13, 2009

As one of the other reviewers stated, Paris Miki Optical is one of those companies where you would refer everyone you knew, that happened to be in the market for any sort of eye wear that they stock. The prices are fair, but more importantly the customer service is beyond measure (especially Brian).
The first pair I ordered turned out to be larger than initially expected (by no fault of the seller), and thus after contacting Brian at Paris Miki Optical; he made sure he took care of me. The customer service was beyond exceptional. I rarely give glowing reviews, but this purchasing experience was so well executed, that I can't help but give 5 emphatic stars. Will do business with again, and would recommend them to the readers as well.
If the bridge width of the 50/22 is a little wide for you, and you're considering the 54/18 due to concerns of the bridge width, there is something that you should know. Not only are the frames wider (54mm per lens) but the bottom of the frame that sits near your cheeks are also a lot more rounded than the 50/22, giving the overall silhouette a more softer feel and perhaps even a bit more jovial demeanor. After trying on the 54/18, and noting that the difference in the comfort on the bridge area was negligible, I opted to exchange mine for the 50/22. Since we all know that the point of original classic Wayfayers are about only three things: Classic style, no nonsense hardcore design lines (JFK, James Dean, etc), and being blind (Ray Charles).
Also a word of advice, if you receive your sunglasses, and the edges of the lenses seem like they are peeling off the polarization coating, try and clean them vigorously with proper cloth and lens safe solution, and you'll realize it's just dust and slighty sticky goo. I was actually quite concerned when I received my replacement because of this. But after some elbow grease it was as good as new. I'm assuming it was just in storage for a while. Either way, these sunglasses are great, I picked up the 901/58 50/22 when all was said and done, and absolutely love them. Glad I got them just in time for my trip. If you're considering some classically designed sunglasses that are also good quality, look no further than the RB 2140, and may their appeal flow like the Euphrates!
The Coolest Sunglasses, But Be Sure to Order the Right Size March 27, 2009

Without a doubt, the 2140 Original Wayfarers are the coolest and most comfortable sunglasses around. I ordered them with the regular tint, instead of the Polarized lenses because my previous sunglasses with Polarized lenses made it very difficult to read LCD screens. No such problem with the regular lenses and glare never seems to be a problem either.
The only recommendation I'd make regarding purchase is to check your head size to make sure you get the right fit. I've always thought my head was pretty big, but when the original pair of Wayfarers arrived, I found that the 54mm size was entirely too big for my face. I contacted the vendor, EZContacts, and they let me exchange the sunglasses, quickly and without delay, for the 50mm size, which fit perfectly and look great. I never thought 4 measly millimeters would make that big of a difference, but when it comes to the way sunglasses look on your face, it sure does.
So, unless you have a Shrek-size head, my suggestion is to opt for the 50mm size. Oh, and when it comes to cost, I saved at least $40 buying through Amzamon versus the retail cost at my local mall's Sunglass Hut.

Well, if you are looking for a classic sunglasses, this is the one. It comes with the original grey box, the cleaner millet, the instruction folders, and the "like leather" light brown box. Besides, the seller is great: fast and honest.

I've worn this brand and style of sunglasses for over 20 years. They have never disappointed me in quality or looks in all that time. Currently I am wearing the black frames with the crystal green polarized lenses. They are optically very sharp and super clear. The quality in these glasses are superior to most.The style goes without saying; timeless. I highly recommend these sunglasses, it's your ticket to coolness.Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer Sunglasses
