Review on πŸ‘“ Chums Classic Eyewear Retainer by Shane Tomko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

critical review. Ideal for original Wayfarer frames. Thank you

First purchase of this brand. I was a bit disappointed at first because when they arrived they didn't slip over the headphones of my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer Blues Brothers glasses. So I checked them and couldn't find any processing error. The stitches I could see were done very well with the right thread and correct top/bottom machine tension. So I gently slid the ends that go through the ear cups onto a hard plastic toothbrush handle that's about the same size as the Wayfarer frame, just slightly smaller. As I slid each page over the plastic handle, I noticed that the glue in the holes prevented them from moving, which isn't a big deal, it actually shows me that the manufacturer isn't afraid to use enough glue in the Work. So now, like I always do, I clean my travelers with lemon zest and rub them clean. The latch sits perfectly on the earpads, not too tight and not too loose, literally on the second try. While they feel pretty good, they keep my glasses from falling off my face when I lean forward, they work great on the bike and I think they'll get the job done perfectly for me. I would like to see if they have a similar design to another brand I have used in the past as I love the craftsmanship and quality of the retainer. Many Thanks.
