- Gary Black from Black Optical in Tulsa, OK gives us the rundown on how to pick out the perfect pair of aviator shades. It's more complicated than you think.

all glasses suit this guy
All glasses look good on long faces
Hahaha i was gonna say that
OK. I'm going with the more squared American Optical frames with the green neutral lens. Now to complete the 'cool' look I just need a different face.
Not no more!
Just wear a mask with the aviators
I went with a teardrop shape with "golden" frames and brown lenses, quite happy with them. Got the complete bare minimum setup for the prescription lenses and they seem fine, didn't want to triple the cost with polarization and thinner lenses and all that, so in the end it was like 80 bucks for a pair
Brown really is a grear color for the lenses, even without polarizarion colors seem extremely vibrant and everything looks much sharper than with my regular glasses. Makes daylight look like a sunset as well
I’ve got the gold frame teardrops with the black/green lenses. Love them and they look awesome
Man wtf... all of the shades this guy put on fit him... I can't find ANYTHING that fits my face.
TD will fit your face perfectly!

Classic Tear Drop... The 1st sunglassed that the guy used...@@Firefoxtony
The classic teardrop aviator design exudes authority.
Just ordered my first pair of gold aviators with green lenses. :)
Thanks for the video!
I really like your Video. Super informative! Thanks for breaking it down....and yes, every frame looks awesome on you!
After contacting mr Black, Gary told me he's wearing the "Dita Haydon - Navy / Antique Silver".
Thanks Gary!
I spent hours searching for it. I wish I saw your comment earlier. Thank you!
Camera Guy! FOCUS! you have one job!
thanks this helped my style increase to a hole new level
First navigator you showed looked pretty cool other than that the ray band type aviator always wins for me ...
Just ordered like 4 ray band aviators .. but I picked all the weird colors for lenses and should have also picked the classic dark green, with golden frame (or silver) ...
This was actually more helpful than I had anticipated.
What a great video! :) Many thanks Gary. Mal.
This guy's face fit for every shades he's wearing..
Standard black teardrops are hard to beat although I have a classic gold/green set of Ray-Ban teardrops and they are pretty damn cool IMO.
Now THIS is a helpful video. Thanks for sharing. :-)
Anyone know the ray-ban serial or actual name for the "navigator aviator" at 2:12?
Thanks!
you actually made it harder now for me to pick one. thanks alot
What is the name of sun glass at 02:14 and 03:17?
The first two models are hands down the best. A genuine '40s Ray Ban and the original Lancier by Dita, impossible to find. Any alternatives to them in the present-day aviator scenario? I especially like high-quality aviators, preferably with titanium frames and dark grey polar lenses. Made in Japan, of course.
Any ideas?
No homo, but you look great in all of those shades. I think you just have that face that looks perfect in all styles. Kind of misleading because the average person can't just cycle through styles like you did and pull it off. Nice video though; thanks for the ideas.
+Logan Craig It's sad that we have to say 'no homo' everytime we compliment a guy like us... Poor world, we are all bros!
+Terry James SEXISM SUCKS TO US MEN!!
CLARIAN KEN Sexism sucks us :D
Only in the U.S. Other countries have advanced beyond that childish homophobia. If anyone knows what they are and are not, then they won't care because nothing anyone thinks can change that. And THAT confidence is true manliness!
SWLinPHX Lmao tell that to India, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, or pretty much any non-western country.
This is kool stuff. I mostly wear aviator tear drop shades. This video is super kool.
Gotta love that sly's Avaitor from Cobra !! damn looking good , May i know which model is that Round mirror is
Which brand of aviator are good for eyeglasses -- with transitions xtractive? I have a pair of Oliver Peoples Rikson sunglasses and love them -- kind of vintage but fit great. I'm debating on getting the same from eyeglasses -- not sure if it works? Any thoughts on options?
Want the classic 70's cop shades: Mirrored teardrop aviators with a silver metal frames. So badass!
Well done. Very informative.
What is the sunglasses at 4:55? Plz :)
Gary - Anything on frame color? I'm getting Aviators with prescription transition lenses. Thanks.
Step 1, pick AO Original Pilots, because astronauts. Step two, done
I guess thats the ONLY way to go bro :)fuck luxxotica
Astronauts wtf ahah
Héctor Luis Ibarra Larios i’m an italian collector of rb by baush & lomb simglasses. I agree 👍🏻
@@mariopellegrino617 Hey man, I'm just getting into vintage B&L, Amy pointers?
@@johnbarry4095 what is amy pointers? I'm italian and it's difficult 4 me to translate english slang.
Where would you recommend to look for prescription aviators, full mirror, like, can't see my eyes, just your own face? Looking for a good seller, and the true mirror is a must
Would anyone advise me the model no of the navigator glasses shown in this video ?
what size are those AO Pilots you wore in the video at 49 seconds?
This guy looks good in every pair he put on
Can we please have the link of alll sunglasses for where to buy em??
Great, I was looking for glasses to pilot my jet fighter.
Is the "Carrera 64 KHE Palladium Black" model valid for women?
I get the impression that they do (or at least they are unisex) due to their rounded "aviator" shape and their slightly smaller size than other rectangular models, but I would like to know your point of view.
Thanks.

What shade protects the eye in the very very hot india summer?
i want to ask the navigator sun glass type and it s modle in 2:14
I bought topgun rayban bt turned out to be bigger.Is it standard size or gt diferent sizes
Where can I get the mirror silverflash with silver frame? They don't sell them in any stores in any country I've been to, only found as customized items online, but then they don't operate with three sizes, nor do they follow the standard measurements for the custom ones. Don't get it. Also, the silverflash is not available as polarized. Don't know why that is either.
Are those the Odin frames at 2:29?
Hello there! hey just one question I really like the "Navigator Shape" sunglasses that appear in the min 2:12 can you please tell me the Model number and Brand? Thanks!
Did you find it eventually? I am searching for the same glasses!
Negative...
Got it - Dita Haydon - Navy / Antique Silver :)
Thaaaanks sooo much!
They are more expensive than a designer sunglasses :(
The shades at 4:25. The gradient lenses. But what brand are they? I can only glance something at the end that says "Don" Anybody?!
This guy is confident, nice.
Oh shit! I picked the wrong sunglasses hrr and its very expensive :'(
What frame shape wards off stray rays?
What's the name, model and where can I buy the 3rd pair you out on?? The one all black with the wraparound the ear?? Thank you and please
What model were the glases in the intro 0:03 I like the square look
I beg to differ AO did not start with the square lens and bayonet temples, Randolph Engineering are the original HGU-47/P MIL-S-25948J with over 40 years of experience.
What are the ones at 4.44 the vintage green with with brow bar. BUY IT NOW
That was helpful, also what's the background music?
If you're going to go with the AO aviators with the paddle temples, get a good pair. I bought some cheap knockoffs. When I was wearing my headset flying and took my glasses off, the paddles pulled off the metal bar and was left under the ear cup. Pain to put those back to together and keep level flight. Just saying... you get what you pay for.
Love my silver teardrop Ray Bans, with transition lens.
4;28 what model of sunglasses ia that?
what brand and model is the black gradient navigator at 2:11 in this video?
how you find out?
Where can I get the Aviators that he is wearing at 2:33. I really like those ones and want them. Can anyone help?
what are the brown and gold glasses in the thumbnail?
This son of a gun, switched more than 10 pairs,, and all of them fit perfect on him!! SMH!!
Navigator shape with two tone lenses 58-62mm would be cool for me
is there any from the 1930s or 1940s that are still being made today?
The standard Rayband Aviator is too small. I need a large, but they are not available with the secure temple cables for motorcycling. Any suggestions?
Currently looking for perscription aviators that comfortably fit under a helmet, did you ever find one?
Can someone please help me out with the name/brand of the aviators to the left in the thumbnail and the gradient glasses he wore? I swear I can’t find either ANYWHERE
What type of sunglass suite for me sir? I have oval face shape and short hair.
what size are those american optical
.. are the navigator shaped ones still available?.. i cant seem to find them.. anyone know the model name or number?..
Which aviators does viper from top gun have on when talking to maverick?
Ray Ban Caravan
Yo how can I get one like yours that shape design is from the 40s that’s sick it looks better than the new
Where can i find a pair of NOS or otherwise pristine B&L Aviator sunglasses?
What is the sunglasses at 4:55 ?
Great video!
Maaan what brand are those at 4:00?
Gosh this fella looks great in all of them.
Soooooo, basically not one mention of a single brand in the video. How does one go about finding one of these styles from this?
I have a heart shaped face, so while aviators complement my shape quite well, it's somewhat difficult for me to find a pair that fits properly as I have a bit of a large face (and large everything else too, I'm 6'6", size 14 feet, broad AF shoulders, I think you get the idea that I'm a gorilla by now). This video was pretty detailed and informative, so it should be pretty helpful for me in finding the right pair for me, thanks a billion.
What's the frame used in the pair at 2:32 ?
Aviators and Wayfarer sunglasses are the best kind of sunglasses. i also love big rounded black shades like the one Django wears. almost john lennon-esque but less psychedelic and more classy
2:47 ? anyone knows ?
2:15 which model is tht?
+Mohammed Sabir Yes, I need these.
Clearly this video was not about how to pick best shades for aviation, which was the reason why I clicked on it.
The oh-so-hip background music sounds like a porn flick.
yep. and the camera never actually focuses when he's showing something off.
What is the name of the model in 2:47?
Such a huge fan of the classic teardrop aviators but alas it doesn't fit my face. But screw that I'm still getting me a pair.
2:13 what brand and model are these
Can anyone tell me seriously, should the classic teardrop shape aviators cover eyebrows or not?
Sometimes they do..sometimes they don't. There is no rule. Well the only rule is that they fit your face well as in they don't fall off or look too small..too big is ok in my book looks wise when it comes to sunglasses. But obviously you don't want sunglasses falling off your face.
2:31 wait what style is that? Is that the Caravan?
I'm a big fan of my Randolph Engineering ones.
YES!
I like the ones Don Draper uses in Mad Men.
AO are the original aviators used by the U.S. military and later NASA. They're cheaper and every bit as good, or better than Randolph Engineering, or Ray Ban.
Just what I was looking for
what brand name are the sporty style sunglasses at 2:30?
Aviator glasses are fickle things. Either they grant +50 to sex appeal or +50 to dorkyness. Loving the classic design.
2:14 model and color pls.
Good info thanks.
I know this video is old but does anybody know the model of the ones he is wearing at 3:12?
Would he be able to provide a run down of brand reputability and answer some of these questions? How much is too much to pay for a pair of sunglasses? How should I test the sturdiness as well?
I would say that how much is too much really what you yourself make of it. Find the pairs that you like and a price range which you can afford and consider viable. If 100dollars is your price range go with that, if it's 50 then look for that. Listen to what brands he used to show in the video.
Which brand is at 02:33 ??????
What is the name of the background music?
Anybody?
Sanude - Dardstorm
Not even close
aviators are my favorite. i had 2 pairs already.
How many are you at now? I like other sunglass styles but I don't get the same feeling as I do when I put on aviators. Nothing like them.
How to order for Ray ban sunglasses
What model is that navigatorshape one at 2:20? Do you may have a model number..these are awesome and i cant find them.thank you in advance

2:12 ... Pls tell me
Which glasses is it at 2:14?
I have to use prescription glasses. Can i buy aviators with my prescription built in?
Yes, I have a pair of Aviators with prescription lenses. They cost alot tho.
Ill ask around my town. Thanks !
alukardFE No. That's a waste of time. Ask the internets. It knows.
