    Rem's John Varvatos line

    Not in my budget right now but if you are looking for a mid-high line of men's frames that actually have some style and seemingly good quality you might check these out. To be honest (and no Rem is not paying me) this is the best men's line to come out in five years. Something a real guy would wear and not Euro looking and effeminate. Ok, I am biased, John Varvatos is a Michigan native and I like to shout out my own.

    This line is not on REM's website...do you know of any other sites etc. where I can view the frames? I don't want to make a Rep appt. unless I am reasonably interested.

    Thanks

    John Varvatos is okay. We've been selling them down in our store. Trying to get rid of them. Customer service sucks! And, great selling frames keep getting discontinued. We had BC's CH line and they discontinued them altogether! What am I going to do when there's a warranty? Stupid! Plus they do look a lot like OP. I did however, like the little details.

    I thought they were kind of different in a regular but subtle cool guy kind of way. Anything that could remotely be called gay around here is avoided like a plague so I could sell stuff like this. Rem customer service is good here too as our rep is exceptional. However, one of my pet peeves with any line is the discontinuation of great selling frames. That would be a deal killer.

    Are they made in China?
