Fist of all, Paris Miki is an excellent company. My order shipped right away; No shipping fee was added to the price; and the order was shipped UPS 2 day air! For free!

As for the glasses, they are exactly what they have always been. Though it is not specified in the "fine print," I believe these are the "standard" size wayfarers. I only have one minor complaint... Why oh why must there be white lettering on one of the lenses. Ray Ban is clearly spelled out along the folding arms of the frame. But the manufacturer seems to find it necessary to add white lettering which says "ray ban p" right on the gee dee lens. I wanted all black glasses. Oh well, I'm still wearing them. And they still look as cool as ever.

One other thing to add. These glasses have a spring hinge in the folding arms. While this is a nice touch, the springs hinges are larger than the standard hinge I remember circa 1987.

One last note: the polarized lenses are definitely worth the extra money. Road glare is greatly reduced while driving.

Update to review: 9-22-07

These glasses have gotten me numerous comments/compliments. I have worn them every day since I purchased them. But... I need to clarify something for the potential buyer. The polarized lenses are good and they are the same dark green color as the 'g 15 xlt' lenses of most ray ban glasses. But I actually decided to look for another pair without polarized lenses because polarization causes some issues when I use them with my camera with a polarizing filter. So, even though I had such good luck with paris miki, I paid a little more for my second pair at a mall chain store because I wanted to be able to test out the glasses before purchase.

Well, I learned more than I ever thought I would about wayfarers.

First off, the frames that I purchased from paris miki say rb 2113 on the inside of one of the arms. Turns out that I actually prefer a different model which says rb 2140 on the inside of one of the arms. rb 2140's are Ray Ban's new "original wayfarers." The differences are perhaps somewhat subtle, but I think they are worth mentioning.

rb 2113's (the ones I purchased from paris miki) have slightly shorter arms which don't quite make it far enough behind my ears. rb2140's go back far enough.

rb 2113's have spring hinges which seem to prevent a tight enough fit. rb 2140's have standard hinges.

rb2113's are slightly less "blocky" with a little less plastic around the front of the lenses and a slightly narrower opening around the nose. rb 2140's are (slightly) more "square" and even have wider metal bits in the front.

No one who sees these two different styles on your head is likely to tell them apart, but, at least for me, the "original" wayfarers are more comfortable and less prone to sliding down my nose when I sweat. And, though subtle, I prefer the styling of the "original" wayfarer.

I'm still gonna wear the polarized pair when I go near water or snow though.

One last note: these glasses are available in at least two different sizes--50mm and 54mm. I believe that this measurement is the height of the lenses. I far prefer the 50mm size, which is what I bought both times. But I would recommend going to a store and testing out both before ordering online.

It's pretty hard to go wrong with a proven company like Ray Ban, and my Wayfarer Sunglasses were just what I expected - a well-made and attractive product. The fact that they look absolutely cool on me is beside the point. My fiancee was so enamored of my Wayfarers that she immediately ordered her own pair; she looks even cooler than me. The customer service from the vendor was also first rate.

Good product, good service, good purchase!

This is my first ever review about any purchase that I've made online. I have spent several thousands of dollars online. My favorite way to buy. I was not satisfied with my glasses and sent an email stating I would like a replacement. Here is what I recieved via email...

"We are shipping you out an exchange pair........ Included in the package will be a return label for you to ship the package back to us. Your exchange pair will be shipped via UPS 2nd Day Air, and will be leaving our warehouse today. If we can be of further service to you please don't hesitate to ask."

Now is that good customer sevice? All the way cross country? I believe it is, and want to let others know that they too can be confident when dealing with this company.
