I don't know the last time I spent money on a pair of sunglasses. In my industry, beer and liquor reps practically shower you with them any time a promo happens. There's also a handful of them in the bar's lost and found at any given time. When the statute of limitations on them being claimed ends, it's a free for all. I used to have a fantastic pair of Ray-Ban looking knock-offs until the lens got scratched. An ultimate lost and found deep dive. They were tortoise shell, polarized, classic. I miss them.

I'm a fan of the traditional wayfarer style, but the frames have got to be a certain thickness for them to really stick around in my arsenal.

Why is it exactly that a good pair of shades makes a person look so 8-) ?

They're like $25. Hard to hate anything that is so much fun but so affordable.
Which is why I bought a pair of the bassett hound OGs over the weekend...

Seriously though, their marketing is so annoying. Just over the top bro-ish with their silly names and newsletters.

Yeah, they are also a long time sponsor of my favorite running podcast. They're supposed to be super functional on a run. Non-slip, etc. Honestly can't wait to try them out.

I think part of my hate is a self-hate. I have been influenced by the influencers.
