These Reykjavik frames are incredible, I just received my Jesper frame today, it's my third frame from Reykjavik eyes and I'm always so pleased when I receive them (I have the Surt, Alvar and Jesper now 🔥🔥).
There's no denying the garden-variety rimless, tortoise shell, horn-rim, and wire-rim glasses are the safest bet, but it's also good to branch out somewhat into ''louder'' styles. The frames displayed in this episode are kind of the happy-medium between standard and flashy, they're flashy enough to stand out, but still suitable for wearing in corporate offices with a business suit and tie. By the way Robert, are you nearsighted or farsighted?
I was just looking at BP at a local optician, my first time handling the Chestnut colour-way directly, and I was surprised. I had expected them to be "nice", but I was actually very impressed by the colour of the tortoiseshell (which I have, prior to that, considered too safe and boring). I hold my assessment against the benchmark I have when I handle a JMM or LA Eyeworks. I'm torn between the Elias and a BP (perhaps the Cecil instead of the Gellert - also a classic shape) as my next easy-wearing pair.
Indeed, tortoiseshell is one of the most versatile color-ways. It can be dressed up or down, as appropriate for wear with a business suit as with a swimsuit. It's a color-way at home in the office, at school, on the beach, on the town, and everywhere in between! Not to mention, tortoiseshell is timeless as can be, having been invented in the 1920's but still as popular (if not MORE popular) nowadays.

Awesome content! How do the nose pads hold up on the flair frames? Do they need to be adjusted frequently? How would you compare them to silhouette frames?

What is the height of the lens on the Reikjavik Eyes Alvar please ? ( 45 mm is max for me because of my cheek bones ) Thank you for the videos, it helpd a lot.
They’re both made by the same people in the same factory with the same materials, so the only difference between Blackfin and Reykjavik eyes is the design.
@@thespectaclefactory cool, I’m not sure which direction is calling me harder, rimless or glass… I’m gonna have to work through that. Maybe a Reykjavik Eyes in glass would be a good compromise. Or maybe I should just give up on super clear… decisions…
Wow...what a great video! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks much for the great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The torts, blue and the clipons!😉
Flair and Reykjavik seem way out there in build quality, not in your face ,but still stylish. Thank you very much, very interesting.
Walter and Herbert 🥰

I love my Reykjavik frames so much
Glad you love them - they are an essential in any eyewear wardrobe.

How come he looks good in every pair 🤩❣️
Thank you!! It's just confidence, I think.

Brilliant video, all fantastic cool frames 😎 The Elias is amazing but I love the crystal Anglo American 426 with the sun clip. I’m tempted again 👍
Thank you! If you're interested drop us an email at hello@thespectaclefactory.com and one of our team will be in touch :)
Elias looks like an excellent option for sure!
It is definitely a great choice, you cannot go wrong with it.
Great video. Maybe you should do a video on clip-on sunglasses. They are very cool, but I don't see them very often in stores.

It's always a challenget to find glasses for OU over -6 SPH with a big head.....
That lasik is always on my mind lol
I need something that fits my small width head. Very hard to find fitting ones as they can come off easily. Just a shake it will dislodge

Has something happened to Walter & Herbert? Their website hasn't been accessible for weeks.

Are Reykjavik eyes better than blackfin?
Both minimalistic, titanium and Italian handmade
They’re both made by the same people in the same factory with the same materials, so the only difference between Blackfin and Reykjavik eyes is the design.
Did you try Chrome Hearts frames? If yes, can you make a video with them and your opinion?
great video! What are the sunglasses you feature @ 6:57??
Mclaren
Think they were limited edition so likely no longer available
Robert are the lenses in the glasses you’re wearing in the opening clip standard Zeiss gradient tints or custom ?
Robert, dont you have the Gallit in matte black which you pairs with Adaptive Sun Pioneer lens?
Do you know of any brand that does tortoise shell frames with bayonet arms?
Oliver Goldsmith
Where can I find Undostrial Fuse 007?
You can order from us. Email us via hello@thespectaclefactory.com and we'll help you out
How much are the 693s?
Hello
What would u recommend me in reykavik eyes ALVAR vs ELIAS.
Given I have -5D power and a broad face.
Probably the Eilas in that case. I would be glad to make them for you!
Robert - Can the Flair Rimless be made with glass lenses and SmartLife?
Not glass lenses, sadly, due to the construction. But we could make Trivex SmartLife lenses for you in that frame
@@thespectaclefactory cool, I’m not sure which direction is calling me harder, rimless or glass… I’m gonna have to work through that. Maybe a Reykjavik Eyes in glass would be a good compromise. Or maybe I should just give up on super clear… decisions…
Could you give us some frames that look good for the bald man
you get hotter in each video
