Perhaps a little dated, though they still look pretty dammed cool, depending on your face. They fit well, though it is a shame that the styling seems a little too conservative for O. Nevertheless, another good sunglass.

I've always been a fan of the Square Wire, but by the time I had the means to start buying them, they were long gone. I was able to pick up my first pair for a very reasonable price, and they just happend to be one of my first Holy Grails, the Leather Wrap. I want so badly to wear these out and about, but I'm so concerned about damaging them. Let's hope I can pick up a pair to use, so I can keep a pair in the case.

So Pimp! It's glasses like this that can change your attitude. Gen. 1 Square Wires are pretty much the same size as the newer Big Square Wires. The orbitals & Earstems on this pair are actually wrapped in a super thin layer of snakeskin patterned leather to acheive their unique look. Even today, they don't look dated in my opinion, they just get cooler as they age. Unfortunately, I don't think the same could be said of the leather itself if they were worn on a regular basis.

Nice everyday shades, I have a pair as a "beater" and they've proved to be very comfortable and very hardwearing considering they're wires, the lenses are, being oakley, perfect and they suit almost every shaped head
