After years of avoidance, around 36, it's finally time to stop hitting pedestrians and get glasses. Big problem though, my big face.
I mean it's not abnormally massive but my head in general is (according to the list of helmets, hats, sunglasses that don't even come close to fitting) is REALLY FUCKING LARGE.
Only sunglasses that don't look like a joke are Prada (have had 2 pairs, daughter destroyed both) and every optical frame I tried today in a bog standard high street place just got lost in my lump of northern dough. 56 mil lenses with 19 mil bridge were 'ok' but the arms didn't reach me ears !
I'm thinking something oversized like Bricktop in Snatch or 60's era Michael Caine.
So does anyone have experience of anywhere in London where I can try a few options that cater for the more bulbous man ? It would be fine if was all full of brain and that but after years of pondering my only conclusion is that it's just a crawl space or storage.
