Mine have seen better days after 10 or so years. Anyone know where the best deals are?

Thanks!

    They just happen to be headquartered a mile & a half from my house. Their shades are really nice but pricey.
    I really like the model of Ray Bans I have now.

    Lots of knock offs so stay away from shady online dealers.

    If it were me, Maui Jim or Kaenon would get my $$$ well before Ray Ban. The last few years, Luxottica has cheapened them quite a bit. There are still a few nice models, but many of them are well below the old standards.

    The quality on Ray Bans and Oakley has taken a hit over the last few years. There are still some good models but they are not very consistent, I much prefer my Maui Jim over the ray ban I replaced with them.

    Costco is a great place to buy if they have your model in stock.
