My casual glasses are Ray Bans. I think that I got them for a buck and change at REI after a sale price, a gift card and leftover dividends. Regardless, I adhere to the "you'll take better care of nice/expensive glasses" theory. I go through ****ty glasses pretty quickly, but nice ones tend to stick around.
