Persol Unisex Po3019s Square Sunglasses

I used to be a diehard Ray-Ban fan, but I have to say that Persol is now my go to brand when it comes to sunglasses (and probably prescription frames if I ever need them). I've been wearing these things nearly every day for the past couple of weeks - you don't want to take these things off once you put them on - and now I'm trying to find excuses just to go outside so I can wear them. This is for the 95/31 model - Black frame with Crystal Green Lens (55mm) PROS: -Quality: From the box, to the carrying case, to the cleaning cloth, and most importantly, to the glasses - everything just screams quality. Compared to my Ray-Ban 2132 New Wayfarer frames, the Persols win it by a mile. The Meflecto system is clever yet functional and, coupled with the Supreme Arrow, looks great too. The lenses are good (true colors, no noticeable distortion, crystal clarity), but nothing to write home about really. As far as I can tell, they are nearly identical to the Ray-Ban G-15 XLT lenses that you'll find in most Aviators and Wayfarers, which isn't too surprising considering that both Ray-Ban and Persol are Luxottica subsidiaries. That's not to say the lenses aren't great; they do their job well, but if you're coming from a pair of Ray-Bans you shouldn't expect to notice any difference in lens performance. -Style: To sum it up into one word: refined. These glasses are simple, elegant, subtle, classy, etc. There's very little branding: just Persol etched into the upper right corner of the right lens, and on the ear pieces of the frames. This is a major plus for me because all of the blatant Ray-Ban branding (especially on the Wayfarers) gets tacky after a little while. This pair doesn't need logos to separate it from other brands, the Supreme Arrow and the Meflecto bands are just distinguishable enough for some of your culturally aware friends to notice and for others to wonder about. -Being Different: If you're one of those people who likes to be separate from the pack, any pair of Persols will do it. Everybody seems to have a pair of Ray-Bans or Oakleys, but you really don't see too many people going around with a classy pair of Persols on. Walking to the coffee shop, I see about two dozen Wayfarers and maybe one or two Persols on a good day, and I'm yet to see a single person wearing the 3019S. Come to think of it, I've never run across two pairs of the same Persols in public. So if you pride yourself on being unique, Persol is the brand for you. CONS: -Fit: From what I've read, Persols tend to run a little large. I have a medium sized face and head (22.25 inches around), and these Persols tended to slip down my nose after moving my head around a bit, while my Wayfarers (which have the exact same measurements as the 55mm 3019S), didn't have this problem. Nothing a quick trip to the local optometrist couldn't fix. It took (literally) less than a minute for him to adjust the frame near the ear pieces, and now they fit like a glove. He did it for free, hopefully your optometrist is as generous. -Price: These glasses do cost a pretty penny. They're considerably more expensive than a comparable pair of Ray-Bans, and what you get for the extra money is a more refined, more stylish pair of glasses with comparable performance. That being said, you can expect to get quite a bit of life out of these things. My Wayfarers have held up to 3+ years of abuse with only a few nicks here and there, so it's not unreasonable to expect these Persols to last 5+ years with moderate abuse, and much much longer if you take decent care of them. OVERALL You can get comparable sun protection from cheaper pairs of glasses, but if you want something that goes far beyond the basics, Persol really sets the bar high.

Persol sunglasses stand out for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Made with real glass lenses, they offer superb clarity and durability, providing a premium optical experience. Their classic yet distinctive look, Persol sunglasses combine luxury with functionality, making them a worthwhile investment for those who appreciate top-notch eyewear. If you've been a Ray Ban Wayfair person, this style will fit your face perfectly

I’ve been wearing various Oakley and Maui Jim glasses for the past ~10 years. The Maui Jim’s I owned had real glass lenses and were too heavy to wear for long periods of time. They were also annoying because they would slide down my nose. I purchased Multiple pair of Oakleys because they were lightweight and the Prizm lenses really make colors vivid. The problem I’ve had with them is the lenses scratch way too easily and it’s always right in the center which totally screws up the optics. I saw the Persol sunglasses and really liked the shape. I bought the smaller of the two sizes and they fit perfect. (I generally wear a medium frame as I don’t like sunglasses that are wider than my face.). I’ve worn them on an 8hr road trip and they were comfortable the entire trip. They stay up on my nose (don’t slide down) and don’t hurt my ears. The optics are great and so far don’t have any scratches. The only thing I would change is that I wish they were polarized but I didn’t see that as an option when I ordered them. If you like the style, order them! I’ve been really impressed!

These are a very nice pair of shades for the price. The build quality of them is very good and they have a classic look to them. The sunglasses did not arrive damaged in any way and came with a hard case, cleaning cloth, auth. certificate, and luxxotica lens information.

These arrived today and are stunning. The size 52 is a perfect fit for my face. I can’t wait to take them in to get Rx lenses tomorrow. These are the real deal, real Persol sunglasses from Luxottica. Included in the Persol box was a large magnetic hard-case, a Luxottica product insert, a Persol product insert, and a cleaning cloth. The Persol sunglasses are in perfect condition, both the frame and the lenses. The lens has a Persol sticker on it. The Persol brand and model/size markings are on the inside of the temples. The Persol trademark arrow and two Meflecto pins on each temple are also present. The seller got these to me a day earlier than advertised, and on a Holiday. Would purchase again in a minute.

Persol sunglasses are part of that idiosyncratic cool that is Italian. Persol which means 'for sun', have been the favorites of the movers and shakers, most notably Hollywood stars, for 50 years. Steve McQueen and George Clooney wore them both in their movies and in personal life. They are also a staple of the James Bond movies. The trademark 'arrow' hinge is a quiet signal to others that these are the real deal. And The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) the blue lenses add to the mystique. In full disclosure, I have a number pairs of Persol. These are a good fit on my face which is quite broad but the other, more expensive ones do a better job. The lens, being blue give you a totally different feel than the more traditional green or brown. You may not be an international playboy, but you'll feel like one with these on.

Just got them out of the box and noticed that they were a bit crooked on my face then I realized that the legs are uneven. I am not sure if this is a defect or a common issue with Persol's. Maybe that is why they sell them and a discounted price and that is what you get. Very disappointed 😞

Gran calidad de materiales y armado, hermoso diseño

Exceptionally well made look great and a bargain at the price John Lewis selling similar Persol glasses for £149 5 star product arrived on time well package would buy again and also recommend to friends

Prodotto ottimo, sempre alla moda e di grande qualità

Las gafas llegaron sin novedad. Había leído algunas reseñas en donde se quejaban de que las gafas llegaban desniveladas y/o torcidas de las patas, tal vez tuvieron solo mala suerte porque estas llegaron en perfectas condiciones. Muy bien empacadas y con todo su packing completo: estuche, certificado de autenticidad, garantía y paño limpiador. Totalmente recomendadas para añadir a cualquier colección de anteojos de sol.

Perfect sunglasses, very classic model and stylish. The price is phenomenal. More than 60 euros cheaper than in a luxury department store (where the salesperson did not even know the model). Don't listen to the slanderers: there is nothing wrong with these glasses. No rejected models or even fake glasses, but top quality brand new ones and definitely original. No bended arms or faded/rubbed off logos. Including a case and wipe cloth.
