towerofsleep asked: Four suggestions for glasses: the Lemtosh or Miltzen by Moscot. Or the Andy by Selima Optique. Or the Oliver Peoples x Nom de Guerre NDG-1.

Saelan, you deliver the goods, reliable as ever. Thank you.

This is the second mention today of Moscot. (Micaela, you should totally get a pair.) I like their frames a lot a lot, and in fact ordered a couple of pairs to try on last year, during my last abortive attempt at this. They didn’t look right on my face, and I was sad. Internet eyeglass shopping is such a crapshoot.

I really really love the NDG-1 frames you mentioned.

I think I might have found a winner today. These are them:
