I love sunglasses. If you live in the Southwest, you really can't survive without them and good ones are absolutely essential- dark, polarized. I love aviator styles but the traditional oval shape looks terrible on my face shape.Admittedly, I had never heard of American Optical but seeing the shape of these, the sizing which I estimated was about perfect for me, and doing research on the brand itself, I was super excited to try these.These are gorgeous glasses, through and through. The mirror is beautiful and crisp and they feel secure on your head, unlike many aviator styles I have tried. They come in a beautiful leather case with a microfiber cleaning cloth that just exudes old school cool and quality (I mean, aviators are a classic for a reason!). The shape is very flattering for a lot of face shapes. These look great if your face is more rounded or oval shaped.The best part about these is they are not mass produced by some major sunglass house (such as Luxottica which makes many of the higher end sunglasses like Revo). These are made in the good ol' US of A which I think is so cool and something I enthusiastically support. I do wish this was more prevalent as I do try to seek out this information and it was difficult to find (and when the manufacturing country is hard to find, I just assume it's China).The quality in these is absolutely apparent and they're definitely one of my favorite pairs now. The branding is very understated if that's your thing- there is only a very small "AO" on the arm. I'm very happy with these, they look great and they actually stay on your head. They are much more snug than most wire frame style glasses so they will feel different at first. Even though they're snug, I don't have any issues wearing them all day.
