Hi!

Firstly, I'm sorry for putting this to the wrong section. I'm sure the "General Chat" would be the right place, but since there are people here with quite a knowledge on sunglasses (+ I'm getting really desperate ), so I had to give it a try... You can freely move this thread if you feel that it belongs to somewhere else.

Anyway - John Lee Hooker's sunglasses:



For the past few years I've been desperately trying to find the brand and model of these glasses. I'm quite sure they are from around late 80's/early 90's since I've seen them in other places of that era as well (Steve Martin in the movie "Leap of Faith", for example).

My Dad found out that the brand could be Kenneth Cole, but I'm not sure about that at all? :?
I've also talked to vintage sunglasses collectors, and they don't seem to recognize the glasses either (perhaps because these glasses aren't really that old)... So if someone here does have information (or a clue! ), I would be very grateful!

Edit: Here are some additional photos:

There was an auction 5 years ago of some Ray-Ban's apparently worn by John Lee Hooker -

Although maybe what you're after are the Dita Legends Hi Ball -

Not sure on the glasses, but I did find this larger photo to work with:

Woops, sorry for the delay! Been really busy - luckily I've got a bit more time for these glasses for now on... : )

Steam McQueen: I had seen those Dita glasses before, but forgot! Thanks for reminding me. : ) Also the auction sounds really interesting, never heard of that one before!

TK826: I think this is exactly what I needed! Thanks a lot, this helps me point out what I'm looking for! Also, the DVD is quite nice too : )
