4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Ray Bans with a great twist, October 24, 2009

RB2140P: These are the Ray Bans that I remember my dad wearing growing up. However, these are even better, because they have polarized lenses. The lenses are amazing, they make a huge difference and I cannot imagine ever going back to non-polarized lenses. This is the best price I found on these sunglasses and I searched high and low, even factoring in [...] specials.

I don't have much to say about the shape, they are the classic Ray-Bans, not the "new" shape (RB2132) that you see most celebrities wearing. The lens slants back towards your face, they are not perpendicular to your face. I happened to like the originals, but I know that most prefer the newer lens, so keep this in mind when ordering. However, at this time Ray Ban does not make the new style with the polarized lens.

Polarized lenses reduce the glare off surfaces and reduce my need to squint, which I love because who wants wrinkles around their eyes? I make everyone try on my sunglasses so they can experience the polarized lens and now all family and friends have been converted. If you live in a place that you need to wear sunglasses throughout the year, this is a great investment!

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect shades, July 5, 2010

got the regular black ones from sunglassexpress (great store). I always wore aviators but I lost my good pair, vanished into thin air I think. Now I may never go back... I do not miss the skinny metal arms and frames (Ray Bans are sturdy, but by their nature aviators do not survive many accidental crushings) and the protruding nose pads that get tangled up in my hair. Wayfarers have none of these issues, just pure sun-blocking and bloodshot eye-hiding power.

Quality and comfort is excellent, and they come with a nice snap case (mine was brown leather.. I also have a black Ray Ban case that came with my aviators, so I don't know if they use different cases/colors for different sunglass styles or colors or what. you may want to ask the seller if it matters to you) and lens cloth like all Ray Bans.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Style of Sunglasses Worn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and in "Cocktails", November 20, 2010

Having owned a pair of Ray Ban 2132 "New Wayfarers" in tortoise shell color and now a pair the Ray Ban 2140 "Original Wayfarers" in black color, I now know why the latter are the better pair.

With the New Wayfarers, they feel as if they are made of cheap plastic. Everytime I open them up to put on my face, the plastic makes a squeeking noise. But with the 2140 Original Wayfarers, they feel heavy when in your hands and the material used is of good, sturdy quality.

The lens are much larger compared to the 2132 New Wayfarers. However, the downside is that my pair of 2132 New Wayfarers fit better on my face since they are in 55mm size. The 2140 Original Wayfarers seem a bit snug on my face, probably due to the size of 54mm.

If one is looking for a nostalgic and the ultimate fashion statement of 1950s eye wear, then look no further. They've been seen on the famous faces of JFK, Tom Cruise, and Audrey Hepburn. The 2140 Original Wayfarers are not trendy as they will never go out of style.

These sunglasses are perfect for mending a day-time hangover after a night of drinking. If you are a battered house wife with a swolen eye, then these sunglasses are going to hide what your hubby is doing to you. If you want to look incognito or in disguise, these cover one's face quite well. They are perfect for wearing on the beach or boating too.
