At last! My Indy Glasses!
Thank God, now I can read again!
Geek? You better know it!
These came from FramesDirect.com, and they're the Berkshire Chase Panto. Big thanks to everyone who was in on the research in finding these great glasses!
They're very screen accurate, and fit great. I got these with transition leses, so they double as sunglasses as well as reading glasses. I love them, highly recommended!

Looks good. Once your ears get toughened up to the cables, you'll REALLY enjoy them. If you've never worn cable ear pieces before, prepare for some discomfort for a short period of time. It doesn't last long, but it will happen. I advising from YEARS of experience on this, and am currently wearing a pair of 1936 rimless gold wires with cables. Regards. Michaelson

I dig them, Cooler. They look very screen accurate to me. Alas, I cannot wear them. Round glasses throw my facial features all out of whack. All of my reading glasses are oval.
However, and this goes for those who wear oval frames, Berkshire Chase can make custom frames (I saw it on their website). I am thinking my next pair will be a modified version of the Panto.
Peace and thanks for the pics,

I've noticed that as well, Michaelson, but it's not as bad as I was expecting, quite confortable.Michaelson wrote:Looks good. Once your ears get toughened up to the cables, you'll REALLY enjoy them.

Thanks for the comments guys! These are terrific glasses, and I'm especially grateful to the gearheads on COW who unearthed these frames, thanks a million!

Nice specs! I have a pair of the original "discontinued" BOICs and a pair of Berks (my daily wear) and can confirm that side by side, they are 99.9% identical. The ONLY difference is the BOICs have a little itty bitty stamp of "BOIC" on the inside of the right arm, that's it. Wear them with pride my friend!

Yes. It's important to have the screen accurate BOIC stampMinnesota Jones wrote:Nice specs!

Sunglasses
They look great.
I know it's not screen accurate but I think they would also look great as sunglasses.
