What Glasses was David Letterman wearing?

**eye starr** · 02-09-2010, 02:13 PM

I am trying to figure out what frame David Letterman was wearing in the superbowl ad. If anyone knows could you help me out? Thanks!

I couldn't find a good image of the SuperBowl ad, but it may be the same glasses that Letterman is wearing in the photo (attached).

hrmmm, I look at that picture and the first thing that comes to mind is -

"those glasses look a little bowed out on the sides, maybe they could use a wee bit of adjustment."

eh, maybe it's just me.

It's not those. It's a round, plastic, light brown frame[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png[/IMG]

Actually he's wearing some kind of plastic frame in the SuperBowl ad.

Check it out on YouTube.

looks like it could be an anglo american.

Very similar to a Scott Harris V-15 (from the vintage line).

**ezrich** · 02-09-2010, 07:04 PM

best image optical?

**EHARDWICK** · 02-09-2010, 08:08 PM

I'm thinking Goldfinch-Lennon

**drk** · 02-09-2010, 09:54 PM

I think it's the "Intern-layer" by PervertOptix.

That was Horrible! Funny but Horrible.

Could be a Lafont reedition? Edges need polishing.

**Aberdeen Angus** · 02-10-2010, 08:50 AM

Yeah very similar to goldfinch.

**jamie w** · 02-10-2010, 03:09 PM

I have a nautica 8035 in color 200 that looks very similar.

It is a lafont! However, it isn't out of the reedition line...I thought the same thing at first when I saw it. I called them and have one on order for our client. Thanks everyone!

Please call The Eyeman and ask for Lloyd. The Eyeman is located in NYC, NY on Broadway. He is the purveyor of celebrity eyewear.

I knew I wasn't the only one looking for Letterman's frames. Someone on here confirmed that they were Lafont frames. Do we know how that was confirmed? I have a person that wants the EXACT frames Letterman is wearing. Here is a photo out of People mag. It looks like he either has two frames of the same make in different colors or two different frames altogether. One frame is in a blond tortoise (my photo) and the other, pictured in an above post is a brown/honey colored frame. It's a shame no one knows anyone on his staff to call and get it directly from the horse's mouth.

Thanks for any assistance!

**Kittlemeier** · 02-23-2010, 10:13 PM

I'd say Lafont Jupiter in 330 for the tortoise and Lafont Concerto in demi amber for the "orange."

**NMichAve** · 02-26-2010, 10:28 AM

Those are probably what I will suggest. Letterman's do not have the rivets on the front like the Lafonts, but they are certainly close enough. Thanks!!
