This should be simple

Have a potential customer that needs a frame with these specs. 44-46 eye. 33 or so B measurement and a 16-18 bridge. The frame style should be in a fun colour like blue or red. She can wear a kids frame and is doing so now. I have gone through a bunch of catalogs but can't find anything. The tricky part seems to be that the eyewire shape has to be oval or close to it.

Any ideas?

There are alot of "fun" rimless frames where you have the control to change to any shape & size.

Good Luck!

This lady said she'd be willing to pay a couple thousand to have one custom made.

Sub-contract it to me. I'll only charge $1000. You make a $1000 profit!

This is what you do. Try the TB-3 from Tommy Bahamma. It doesn't come in blue or red. But if she is willing to pay that type price, send it to a powder coat facility or an auto-body paint shop to get whatever color she wants in a top-quality two-part polyurethane. Buy an extra for reserve. It shouldn't cost any more to paint two.

OKO can also do this they use powder coating (also make custom clips) http://www.opticalstore.com/ I think Chip Anderson also has the equipment, but I don't know if he's doing any yet. Maybe I should start doing this, could make a few extra bucks here and there.
