    Design's looking good Indy. Does anyone know whether the original TF pair were offered in multiple sizes or just the one?

    They'll definitely be polarized UV400 lenses.

    Nice !.. I got the Movieshop cheap pair.. (great beater glasses for work !) But I'd love a well made pair with the leather wrapped ear pieces etc... Can't wait ! I'm in (hoping you do the 007 neck tie bundle with these too :D )

    Excellent! For the price that TF charges for their sunglasses, i'm always shocked that they aren't polarized.

    For the price TF charges I'm surprised the nose pieces fall off and the lenses are so poor.

    +1 for sure.

    No doubt... My Markos were junk.. both nose pads popped off as well as one lens.. They're now just a display piece in my movie room cabinet... My Henry glasses are excellent.. love the feel of those.. But would never pick up another pair of TF Markos..

    I'm in for one of these. Your specs have satisfied all of my requirements to pull the trigger. Can't wait!

    Henry's do seem better built but not a patch on ray bans clubmaster build quality, you only have to look at a pair of Persols to see quality sunglasses, tf have nice designs but are way over priced for the quality IMHO
    I'm looking forward to these qos sunglasses -{

    Surprising to hear the shoddy quality of TF eyewear when one considers the price and how well made everything else is from him. Truly disappointing.

    The Skyfall Sunglasses I have are working out really well so far, though I'll need to tighten one of the screws soon. Happy to see these ones being reproduced.

    I don't think I will ever buy another pair of Tom Ford sunglasses again after the 144's. Frame broke only a couple months into wearing them. I'be purchased $20 sunglasses that have lasted longer.

    Off topic, but I hope Indy you do a run of the TF Henry's too!

    This is getting exciting now. These were my first Bond sunglasses love, so I can't wait to finally own a pair that does them justice. Keep up the great work Indy!

    Prototypes coming along nicely... we'll be redoing the leather tip to have the top-row of stitching:
