Ray Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer

The glasses never quite fit correctly but the price was consistent with Ray Ban and I needed a new pair of sunglasses. I recently went to an authorized Ray Ban dealer and bought a second pair. I had the owner of the store look at my old pair. He did not think they were authentic, perhaps very good knock offs. Now with a new pair the differences are obvious. The font is different on the inscritiptions, the hinges and body are flat and the color of the glass is a shade different.

I dont think these are authentic ray bans. Ive had several pairs of original wayfairers and these feel super flimsy comparatively. Also, the geometry isnt quite right and the logo looks less than perfect. Will be returning.

Even after my husband sat on an old pair of my Wayfarers, they did not break...bent a little, but not broken. Lifelong wearer of these.

I bought these sunglasses as a replacement for Ray-Bans that I had bought in 2010. The first pair I bought was from Sunglass Hut--original Wayfarers with tortoiseshell frames and green lenses--they ran me $150 there. In the fall of 2013, I misplaced the sunglasses, and had always planned to replace them, but just now got around to it. I was going to go back into Sunglass Hut and repurchase the same pair, but a friend clued me in to this deal on Amazon. Seeing as how they are about $60 cheaper, I decided to go with these. They seem to be exactly the same as my other previous pair of Ray-Bans...they say that they are made in Italy, have the Ray-Ban inscription on the lenses and on each arm, as well as the "RB" etched into the other lens. They feel weighty and sturdy, clearly have the metal bar within the plastic arm for support, and have a 4 stacked barrel hinge on each arm where it folds. It came in a box that looked exactly the same as my old one (I compared) and had the leather case with the cleaning cloth just like my other one. As far as I can tell, these ARE real Ray-Bans. If they arent, though...theyre clearly STILL quality sunglasses that youre STILL paying a lot of money for, so who really gives a damn? As for technicalities, delivery was quick as always. Loved that it qualified for free shipping. As for sizing, I feel as though I have a pretty big head, and I still bought the 50mm size. Fits well, like sunglasses should. Overall, a very good purchase!
