I have had some bad luck with eyewear lately. About 6 months ago I purchased a pair of Rigards, the newer aluminium frames with horn on the arms, within a couple of days of wear (not even as my only pair, but in rotation with 2 other frames) the nose piece fell off and was irreparable due to how it attaches. The shop I bought them at in Seoul exchanged them for a new pair which was nice, however within 2/3 months the spot where the nose piece attaches was pushing through the front of the aluminium frame..again I returned them for a new pair..it's been 1 week and the nose piece on the new (3rd pair) snapped already. I never wear my glasses todo anything but work (I don't do physical labor), and am very careful with them.
The shop (Haute Eye in Seoul, I actually quite recommend them) said since Rigards is just venturing into the aluminium frames they are having issues, that the people he deals with at the brand have acknowledged it's a bit of an issue, and is going to try and get it sorted out with the company.. but it has been frustrating. Thinking I may just go for the full horn and hoping that they fare a bit better.

Which Rigards horn models are closest to their RG0091 (sterling) in terms of shape and silhouette?
The RG0098 looks fairly close, albeit a bit thicker, but the bridge isn't really my speed.
Perhaps they've released a model that was basically the RG0091 but with horn temples/tips?Last edited by Lohikaarme; 11-18-2017, 05:10 AM.
