    Sunwear in Wild Hogs

    Can someone give me the names of the sunglasses that are worn by John Travolta in Wild Hogs? As a matter of fact all of the others worn by the other guys as well, as I'm bound to have that question as well. I think the one by Tim Allen is Monster Pup by Oakley.

    Thanks,
    Diane

    This might help a bit: http://www.seenon.com/search/wild%20hogs/

    I know for sure Tim Allen didn't wear Monster Pups - I stock those and they're far too square to be what he wore.

    But here are some images from the Wild Hogs website, might help someone else determine the brands:

    William H Massey's character didn't wear sunglasses - he wore old school goggles - so I don't think you'll have to worry about finding those.

    Travolta is wearing the Smith "Super Method" (the "Super Method" fits larger faces and the "Method" fits smaller faces).



    Tim Allen is wearing the Smith "Verdict" which isnt made anymore (kinda strange)

    I "think" Martin is wearing the Serengeti "Lamone"

    Could Allen be wearing the Smith Vector? I'm no expert on Smith - I barely see them around here, but it looks pretty close.

    They are pretty close, BUT the Vector is more cateye, has more wrap, and the top of the frame at the nose bridge has more drop. Only reason I could tell is I used to sell the Vector. Side by side there is a size difference as well (The Vector is slightly smaller). BUT, if you were trying to buy something the Vector would be the closest.
