    Redhot Jumper What type of eye glasses does Regis Philbin wear?

    I have a customer that would like to buy the type of eye glasses that Regis Philbin wears. They are camouflage on the sides and on the inside of the temple they are amber or orange. If you know the manufacture or brand, please let me know.


    Thanks!

    It is not eyeglasses, but sunglasses. I am trying to remember the name he called them. They have redish lenses.

    I enjoy these "celebrity frame" posts. Out of about 200 photos from Google and Yahoo, however, this was the best I could find. Maybe a sharp-eyed and knowledgeable optician or frames-rep can do something with this photo ... Regis is on the right.

    Tag Heuer Physics series, I think. Can't tell what model it is.

    Regis lost the pair you are showing and got new ones this week from his optician, Dan Deutsch. He used to wear Oliver Peoples. This one is dfifferent. Kelly wears Prada. Go to Live with Regis & Kelly website and see if it is listed. They are high end. Just can't remember the name & deleted the show off of my DVR.

    Bev is correct. He talked and showed the sunglasses you are referencing on his show on 1-6-06.

    I tried checking the website, but no mention was made of them. He did mention that he got the new pair at his optician's Dan Deutsch.

    He is wearing them in a pic on Dan's site: http://dandeutschopticaloutlook.com/

    Mystery Solved!

    The glasses you described are Chrome Hearts frames. The manufacturer is OSA (Optical Shop of Aspen). I can get you the exact name of the model tomorrow. Not at work right now. A great design! Camo paddle temples with bright orange on the inside. A little pricey but they make you look twice.

    Regis Glasses

    The frame is called Classic Elite and they were black on the front and camoflauge on the outsides. On the inside they are orange. Huge lover of Chrome Hearts especially their sunglasses. Let me know if you ever want info about Chrome Hearts! If anyone is selling their older glasses, let me know cause I love their old ones. Especially two that are called freedom and slade (any color will be fine). Thanks!!!!!!:cheers:
