RB2140 Original Wayfarer Polarized Square Sunglasses

I've been wearing Wayfarers on and off for almost 40 years. That's a long time to be attached to any one product and that should speak volumes about how timeless these sunglasses are. First of all, here are the specs for the sunglasses I purchased and why I purchased these particular glasses: I bought the 2140s. The 2140s are the original Wayfarer design not the newer, smaller ones (those are 2132s) which personally, I don't like. I also opted for the 54mm lens size and I'm glad I did. Note that the 54mm lens Ray Ban has added to the lineup are larger lens - the 50mm were the original sized lens when these sunglasses were first introduced. There are a few good You Tube videos out there on this topic and if you're not sure what size lens you want, go see the videos. Just search for "Wayfarer 54mm versus 50mm" and that should get you to them. Surprisingly, I didn't realize how much of a difference the lens size would matter, but it did. I’ve got a large head and you’d be very surprised how much of a difference the larger lens make in a comfortable fit (and look). I also bought the polarized lens which are an option. They are more expensive and in fact, they retail for $200.00 dollars in stores. Why polarized? I live in Florida and I’m out or by the water quite a bit so for me it’s almost mandatory that I want to be able to cut down or eliminate the sun’s glare. It’s an expensive option but well worth it (this will cost you here on Amazon about $30.00 dollars more, give or take). So the designation I purchased were 901/58 (the 901 denoting the 2140 original Wayfarer and the 58 denoting the polarized lens). Why is this important? Because when you get your glasses, you’ll see along the inside left rail of the glasses “901/58”. You’ll also see “54018 3P”. The 54 means 54mm - the 018 refers to the spacing between lens (18mm) and the 3 means brightness level (3 means high brightness) and lastly the P means polarized. Why would anyone even care about this? Because there are fake Ray Bans being sold that don’t have this information on the left rail. It’s a good idea to go watch the videos on fake versus real Ray Ban’s - you know where to go to find the vids. I wore fake Wayfarers for a while simply because I got tired of shelling out $150.00 dollars every time I lost a pair or sat on them or they walked off, etc. The bottom line? There is a reason why people shell out $125.00 and more for Ray Ban Wayfarers and that reason is quality. The lens are beautifully crafted glass, not crappy plastic. The connection between the side rails and the sunglasses are 7 point hinges made of anodized metal. There is a metal rod that goes through the length of the side rail, too. Everything about Ray Ban screams (albeit subtlety) quality and excellence. The best part about buying them here on Amazon? The great price. You’ll easily save $50.00 dollars or more off what you’d spend at a mall or specialty sunglass shop. In summary I’ll say this: If you’ve never owned a pair of Wayfarers you owe it to yourself to try a pair. There is a reason why everyone from Jack Nicholson to Debbie Harry has worn them and why they never go out of style: quality never does.

I spent the extra money to purchase them from Amazon.com, instead of another retailer (even ones that are fulfilled by Amazon). I did this because of some reviews questioning the legitmacy of the glasses. As far as I can tell, these are the real deal. My friend has a pair of non polarized ones, and his seem to be the same. I tried the test for polarization by looking at and LCD display and turning my head, but it didn't work. The screen did look distorted, however. I also tried my friend's on before I ordered, and decided to get the 54x18s. Yes, they are considerably bigger than the 50x22s, but I have a big head. I only wear a 7 5/8s hat, but my temples are apparently very far apart. I would suggest trying them on first, as my friend wears the same size hat as me, but prefers the smaller sized glasses. And as far styling goes, these are the classic look. The 54s don't look any bigger unless you stand next to someone wearing the smaller ones.

Great price. 100% authentic. Super fast shipping. The best in polarized sunglasses.

If you’ve ever loved a brand, you know how much it stings when that trust gets shattered. I’ve been wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarers since 1987 — over 35 years of memories, music, and moments behind those iconic lenses. I’ve also been wearing them when photographing the X Games to concerts, and weddings around the globe - they’ve been part of my life and my work as a photographer and filmmaker. After a major surgery this month — full right hip and partial right leg replacement — I decided to finally treat myself. A birthday gift. A small but meaningful reward for enduring all of pain and recovery so far. So when Prime Days hit, I placed my order through what looked like Ray-Ban’s official Amazon storefront. What showed up? A joke. No branded packaging from Italy. No serial number. Just a flimsy pair of shades tossed into a plastic bag. Used. Fake. And unmistakably cheap. Even the smell gave it away. Side by side with a real pair, the differences were glaring — sloppy hinges, blurry logos, missing authenticity gold foil sticker on the lens, the engraving on the outside of the lens instead of inside, a shiny logo on the pleather case that is broken and has even stitching (its supposed to be uneven on the edges), printed manual copies that are obviously not authentic, and a finish that felt more like a dollar store toy than a premium product. I’ve posted photos so you can see for yourself. This wasn’t just a bad buy — it was flat-out fraud. I’ve already reported it to Amazon and urge anyone considering these here to think twice. Don’t assume “Prime Day” or a recognizable brand means you’re safe. If it can happen to someone like me — a lifelong fan — it can happen to anyone. After everything I’ve been through, this was supposed to be a bright spot in my life. Instead, it left me frustrated, disappointed, and out of pocket. One star — only because zero isn’t an option. Buyer beware.

I got the Polaroid lens version in the green of the originals, and I get compliments on them almost daily. Ray Ban has always been known for their quality, and I've never seen a person look bad in them. They are a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for, and getting them Polarized definitely justifies the price. Always order directly from Amazon, to avoid the risk of them being fake. Amazon purchases are also covered under warranty by Ray Ban. TIP: If you haven't tried on Original Wayfarers before, make a trip to a local Sunglass Hut to try on what size and color is best for you first. I made the mistake and ordered the 54mm and realized they were huge, so I had to send them back and reorder the 50mm.

I've received two other fakes from other third party sellers on Amazon for the Ray-Ban 2140 58mm, but I can confirm that these are the real deal. These are thick and heavy, as I expect them to be, unlike the fakes I have received. The hinges do not creak and allow for the arms to close very smoothly. The polarized lenses are made of dense, heavy glass (not polycarbonate) and are extremely clear. These are the qualities you should look for in a genuine, polarized 2140 58mm. Other models that are either polarized or not polarized do not use glass lenses, so they won't feel as heavy.

I didn't receive the correct item (and double checked my invoice to make sure I ordered the 2140 Polarized Original Wayfarers size 54, which I did), however, I received the folding wayfarers in the correct color and polarized lens, and I really like them! I have two pairs of the New Wayfarers size 55mm, but decided I wanted the bigger frames of the Originals so ordered the 54mm after some serious contemplation between the 50 and 54. I was a little afraid that the 54s of the originals would be too large to stay on my head properly, and I still don't know whether or not this would be the case since I received the wrong product. The folding wayfarers I received have very contoured arms and despite how large the lens frames are (which I am liking), they do not slide down my nose like some of my other larger-style designer sunglasses....for this reason, I am just going to keep the folding wayfarers. Plus they are so compact and will fit easily in my small purse, or even in my pocket if necessary. =)

I've had these sunglasses for around 4 years and they are fantastic! Great sun protection, classic style, and good value for the money. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced set of Ray Bans that are also looking for the classic Ray Ban sunglass style!

This is a really good pair of sunglasses. They’re polarized, which is important for certain situations like too much interaction with snow (temporary blindness from snow light reflections) or under heavy sun. They’re a bit big, so be aware of that. However, considering the cost ($130) and the Ray-Ban quality, I’m very happy with my purchase. I bought two other Ray-Bans the other day on Amazon, but they weren’t as good as this one in style and the quality, so I had to return them. I was expecting a return process like that because buying sunglasses online is hard to predict how they’ll look on you. Overall, I love the OG Wayfarers at a great price.

Absolut zufrieden.... Bin erst zum Optiker gegangen um sie anzuprobieren... Überall teurer... Ab 140 euro ohne polarisierte Gläser..... Mit Etui und Putzlappen... Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen

Really good quality. Real glass instead of plastic lenses. Polarized lenses are great for driving.

Amazon impeccabile come al solito. Per quanto riguarda gli occhiali, eccezionali, originali e ben fatti, polarizzati , con scritta “RybanP” e nella lente di sinistra c’è il logo RB inciso. Confezione originale con porta occhiali in pelle nero e panno nuovo rayban. Per quanto riguarda la grandezza ho preferito la 54 perché mi calza meglio, un piccolo dettaglio che ho dovuto modificare perché mi dava fastidio era la troppa curvatura delle asticelle verso fuori e quindi non stavano attaccate alla testa, poiché calibro a quanto pare un po’ grande per me di poco,ma qualsiasi ottico sa cosa fare e me li ha sistemati in pochi minuti. Li consiglio !

As advertised
