    Agreed! My old boss who was a “man’s man” wore duct tape on the temple of his glasses for months at one point...I made fun of him

    Don't...the tonality of the tape perfectly matches that sweater.

    I answered my own question !
    With bespoke ductape lug savers! They actually don't notice when wearing, well they do when you know they are there !

    Like this? It's the original JB Champion but it should help you to get an impression. IMG_20190215_104153_549.jpg
