Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Ray-Ban re-launched the Wayfarer with a series of portraits of musicians wearing the frames, shot by seminal 70s photographer Mick Rock.
The 80s was a defining era for the style. Wayfarers were immortalised in celluloid by Tom Cruise in Risky Business, Andrew McCarthy in Less Than Zero and, er, Bruce Willis in Moonlighting.
It's great to see them back on track, The heavier, geeky look is really back now, the old man, Michael Caine frame - and it looks fantastic on younger faces."
So welcome the new/old Wayfarer, the RB2140. Luxottica had to source new manufacturers to make the new original-like design. They are the exact, the same shape, same design, all the components and materials are the same .
They're wonderfully classic, and, historically, they mark the beginning of fashionable sunglasses - before that, in the 40s, sunglasses were just for aviators and racing drivers.
They're cool and that's a fact. Any rocker with an image and an edge knows it.

The One & Only
This is the one from the beginning, the one that spawned imitations and spin-offs. The original Wayfarer is the one that never goes out of style for men and women; and always looks good in any type of apparel. Right out of the box, the 2140 fits me without any needed adjustments. Its dimensions are ideally suited for average-sized faces whose pupil-to-pupil distance is around 2.75 to 3 inches.
The quality construction can clearly be seen and felt...from the heavy-duty hinges, to the R-B engraving on the left lens, to the material used for the black frame. There is no comparing the Ray-Ban Wayfarer to the cheaply-made third-world copies; they can't compete except for the price. Sooner or later, people will learn that you get what you pay for.
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer is a true classic in a world of wanna-be's.
