Ray-Ban RB4105 Wayfarer Folding Non-Polarized Sunglasses 50mm

Product Information

The biggest thing to note when buying a different size in a New Wayfarer is the design change over the sizes. What we mean by that is, the bigger the size, the less tilt in the lens. So, from the smallest size 52 (52mm width lens) you get a shorter lens. One more reminiscent of the Original 2140. But more importantly, you get more of a tilt too. Ellis, Bret Easton. The Rules of Attraction. Simon & Schuster (1987): p25, 40, 122. ISBN 0-671-62234-X. If you’re looking at a pair in person, say in a shop, you can see the size by looking at the code on the inside left arm (temple). This is split up in different sections. For a Ray-Ban Wayfarer, you’ll see 2140 as the first 4 numbers, the New Wayfarer will be 2132. This is the model code. a b Brown, Rachel.
