 A Classic, But a Note on Fit: June 30, 2008

If your considering buying the Wayfarer by Ray-Ban, you already know it as a cultural staple, worn by everyone from Dylan to The Blues Brothers. But, as cool as the shades are, be careful when it comes to fit. The "New" Wayfarer is substantially smaller then the old style, as well as being a tad more modern, not dominating the face as the old kind do.
The "New" style also comes in two sizes, 52mm and 55mm. I received the 52 only to find them to be a bit too small (I am an average size male), once I returned them for the 55 I was more then satisfied. So in conclusion I would recommend the new style Wayfarer to those wanting the signature look of the style, but with perhaps a bit less obtrusive frame. 55mm is average size, while 52mm would be for females or even some children.
Classic look and great fit December 28, 2007

This is one thing I have in common with Jack Nicholson ... a love for the way the Ray-Ban Wayfarer's look and fit. I first found an old used pair of Wayfarers at a garage sale for 25 cents back in the late 70's. They fit so well and the price was right. I loved them. Later I learned that John F. Kennedy, Bob Dylan (on his first tour in England), and Jack Nicholson wore this model.
I lost them in the 90's and couldn't find a current model that were quite the same. It seemed all the models at that time were bigger and rounder, so I didn't replace them. Then the "New Wayfarer" model came out and although they call it new, it reminds me of the old pair I had ... size, look, fit. So I bought a pair and am love'n them again. I use them for sailing, driving, hiking, rafting, travel, etc.
These sunglasses actually block the wind better than some biking sunglasses I bought. I also prefer the non-polarized green lens to the polarized lens that came in those same biking sunglasses. When I ride into the shadows, the polarized lens blocked out too much light and it was hard to see the pavement. The green lens let's in more light allowing me to see better in shadows, yet without being too bright in sunny spots.
The 55mm New Wayfarer in classic tortoise (color 902) with the green lens is my cup of tea, although Dylan wore the black color. They stay on so well I don't need a strap to keep them on during vigorous movement. And your eyelashes don't hit the lenses when you blink.
Great gear!

I am glad I bought the New Wayfarer glasses, wonderful and a better design then the old ones.
I am too a average size guy and I bought the small frame (52) and I am glad I did. For me the fit is perfect and I would not want them any bigger.
i am so freakin' cool-looking in these sunglasses! August 14, 2009

FOR THE WOMEN WHO DON'T WANT TO WEAR THOSE DOOFUSY-LOOKING GIANT SUNGLASSES!!! after owning several wayfarer fakes, i know get it: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. these are awesome. i'm a chick with a pretty narrow face, so i ordered the smallest frame, tortoise shell with green lenses. now i just feel cool. all my friends going around with those gawdawful nicole richie bug eyes look so stupid -- i could never get into that look.
now i want them in every color, LOL!!
I love mine! April 11, 2009

Just bought these to celebrate the return of the sun. I was tired of the giant sunglasses look and wanted something a bit more grown up. I have the tortise/green lenses and they are great for driving. I'm a woman with a small face, and the 52 inch fit me perfectly.
