Hi all. About 13 years ago I bought a set of glasses that had Land Rover badged frames. They were both comfy and appealed to my LRness. Unfortunately I have lost them, and would like to replace with another LR branded set of frames. But I can't find any online, have searched with "land rover spectacle frames" and similar but not finding anything.

Does anyone know a source of something like this?

Thanks

hmmm I've been trying to find Triumph ones myself with no luck either, (a little bit of a fan boy) I would settle for a set of LR specs. . . I do need new glasses soon. . let me know if you find any.

Do the specs and the boots both leak?

I'm wearing a pair of LR branded hiking boots right now.

Very comfortable - and no, mine don't leak.

All I could find was Range Rover Eyewear (http://www.rangerover-eyewear.com/index.php)
The English version... Range Rover Eyewear (http://www.rangerover-eyewear.com/accueil.php?lang=eng)

I'm also interested in what you turn up and some rough prices.
I should really think about replacing mine soon too.

I had a pair of Land Rover boots when they first came out. They fell apart in a few months. Took them back, swapped for a new pair...they fell apart.

Wearing Garmont T8 boots now. Current pair has lasted 6 years.

Can't help with the glasses I'm afraid.

My wife is an optometrist. She thinks that the LR brand eyewear may still be in production but could not find any details of an Australian distributor. You could enquire with LR Australia?

Sorry I could not be of more assistance.

I know they are sunglasses however perhaps this might be of help. These came up in the UK when I typed in Land Rover gear.

Land Rover Oakland Sunglasses 2047 (http://www.landroverclothingandgifts.co.uk/index.php/land-rover-oakland-sunglasses-2047.html)

"Land Rover Oakland Sunglasses. Tortoiseshell. Sports sunglasses with polarised lens and soft carry case with clip. RRP £29 NOW DISCONTINUED BY LAND ROVER, LAST CHANCE TO BUY FOR CHRISTMAS BEFORE STOCK IS ALL GONE!"

They saw that the glasses are discontinued so perhaps that is why you are having difficulty in finding anything.

Here is another alternative by what is a medium sized dealer group here in the UK called Lookers.

Browse the entire shop (http://www.thegearshop.co.uk/index.cfm/fa/shop/search/sun)

"Special Offer £19.99 Oakland Brown Sunglasses Ref No. LRO2047
Contemporary design with wide temple and polarised lens. Complete with carry case. Additional Features Tortoise sheel effect finish."

They also list this to go with the sun glasses

"Sunglasses retainer LRO1872 Ref No. LRO1872
Sunglasses or spectacles holder which floats on water.Designed for all watersport and fishing activities."

Or they do a package deal with the sun glasses included:

"Land Rover Gift package - SAVE OVER 25% Ref No. LRGIFT
Save over 25% on the RRP of individual items when you buy our Exclusive Land Rover gift package. Each gift tin contains a Land Rover Alberta wallet, Land Rover Oakland sunglasses, awaterproof Land Rover notebook and a Land Rover key ring. Each gift package comes in a reusable presentation tin and presents exceptional value for money.

Additional Features Each gift set contains Land Rover Alberta Ripper wallet £10.50, Oakland Sunglasses £29, Waterproof Land Rover notebook £9.00, Land Rover key ring (design may vary) £6.00, reusable Land Rover tin £5.00. RRP of items seperately £59.50 - Gift tin £44.00"

Another alternative

This relates to a local (to me) Land Rover dealer in Ripon. Not sure how up to date it is however it does have a different style of glasses included.

I have no experience of these web sites so make no comment in regard to reliability of the site.

If they will post to Australia you would be up for post on top of price however should not have to pay VAT which is 20%.
