    So as you can see in my last photo the colour is ever so slightly off, they feel a touch lighter than the TFs and they sit a couple of mm higher on my face but that may be as they are newer and tighter.

    Overall Magnoli's come well packaged and for the price are an absolute steal. He's done an excellent job with these.

    Just received the Magnoli sunglasses and my Skyfall knife

    Will have to wait until later for a review of the lens color
    Wow they've arrived quick, I ordered mine the same day as you and I'm not expecting mine for another couple of weeks!

    Thank you for the picture. It seems that the pair of Magnoli's is quite a bit wider than the Tom Ford TF108, maybe 5 mm wider? And the colour of the lenses is a little bit violet.

    Is that not just the picture? Are the oliver people's much bigger than the tf's then?

    Poor photo, this may be better. The ops are smaller

    They are pretty similar in size, Magnoli's are narrower between the lenses.

    Cool pic!

    I must admit I thought Indys lens were a little off the blue of the TF108 in some other pics ive seen but thats not too bad

    I think only noticeable when they sit next to the originals. I'm interested to hear how people think they fit as they do sit higher on my face, I'm wondering if the nose pads are causing this and they may adapt in time. I'd post photos of me wearing them both but I am struggling with flu and don't want to frighten people!

    They look great! can't wait to get mine, what kind of case are they coming in? I'm kicking myself for selling my original TF108 case now after my kid wrecked the glasses!!

    A nice solid hard case with a lovely touch on the packaging.

    Grant, how is the construction and feel of the Magnoli compared to the 108s?

    I have to dig out my OP to compare.
  • GSGS Posts: 333MI6 Agent
    They are lighter and feel cheaper but the detailing is good. For the price they are excellent. I think to deliver a product exactly replicating the weight and quality the price would probably increase significantly.

    I am pretty astounded he has been able to replicate these for $80 including global shipping and provide a hard case. Well done indeed

    Mine just arrived! I have never seen the TF or OP in person to compare, but the Magnolis look fantastic and feel significantly more expensive than the price would indicate! -{ -{ -{

    I just took mine out for a drive and loved the Polarized lenses. One of my beefs with my other Tom Fords is that they are lousy to drive in. Well done, Indy!

    I'm not one for selfies but here is a pic.

    Question for GS, I have some 108's....can you tell me if the arms of the 108 would fit the frame of the Magnoli? I doubt they will but it is worth checking... Thanks
  • GSGS Posts: 333MI6 Agent
    Nice selfie cheverian!
    Umpire, I think you could interchange the arms, the Magnoli's are a fraction and I mean a very small fraction wider at the hinge. The issue you may have is the metal colours will not match. The 108s are shinier than the Magnoli version which are a touch more brushed metal.

    I second that. Great pic Cheverian! Thanks for sharing. -{

    Indy,

    Just got mine and they are awesome. Great work!

    Hi all! Am really interested in grabbing a pair of these as my everyday sunnies. Can anyone provide some information regarding how similar these fit compared to the TF108? I have owned a pair of the 108, but have since sold it as I find them to be just a smidge too small for my face. I grabbed a pair of Tom Ford William instead and they are perfect for me. So if owners of both the Magnoli and Tom Ford version can shed some light on this it will be much appreciated! Thanks!
  • ChriscoopChriscoop Belize Posts: 10,458MI6 Agent
    I had the 108's some years ago, and on my face these seem to fit fine, I didn't put them on and notice any problems and I did wear the 108's a lot over a few years. I have the markos and they fit a little tighter, the 108's by design are a small looking pair of sunglasses. Even on bond they don't look big IMHO.

    They are identical in size but seem to sit a little higher on the nose than the 108s on me

    Can't you adjust the nose pads out a little to allow them to sit down a bit?

    Hi guys,

    could someone advise (preferably with pictures) the size difference between these and the Marko's? I have some Magnoli 'Marko's' that are too big for my face, but these do seem smaller.. would be good to see a comparison.

    cheers
