Blazin’—February 28, 2024
These glasses are TR90 nylon, so they are wonderful quality. Sadly, it is a disappointment to me that the glasses I received are dark, dark taupe-brown, nOT pale, whitish, VERY light, ash-gray. People do order the colors that are important to them for good reason. The promotional photo is pretty much about as light as🍦VANILLA color. But, the product sent is as dark as CHOCOLATE 🍫, all the way chocolate, not just a little. The marketing photographer EDITED the darkness right out of their picture of the real glasses color‼️ Unfortunately, I ordered the glasses that look like vanilla. As an artist and painter, I can vouch for the fact that these two colors are !not minor “differences in shades from monitors” as some like to use as an excuse. They EDITED a lie into their promotional page, because on a color pallet, these two colors are at least 300 SHADES ⚪️⬅️away➡️🟤 from each other. True story. I don’t want chocolate colored glasses on my face. I NEVER wear dark frames on my face unless the lenses are brown-black, so nOW what? Truly, I still want that true light oyster gray frame—does it even exist? I only took about 3 hours of hunting for the perfect color, because TR90 nylon polymer is worth the effort, it is highly durable, great frame material. In fact, it is my favorite frame material above all others, with flexible titanium metal alloy being a close second. This is a big let down to receive dark frames, and I will not be just “rolling with” this and accepting it, I can’t. Marketing should never let people to edit these photos who don’t know what they’re doing, and sellers should never use the distributors’ faulty photos, EVER. They obviously allowed this one without thinking, because the photos look very pretty, but they are a fairytale when it comes to this particular color; they shouldn’t call it “oyster”, call it the brown that it is, specially, a very dark taupe brown. It is definitely a dark “taupe” charcoal-brown, which is also hard to find. I do love taupe. In my pants. And in my socks. Taupe is a rare, prized color to find, especially in socks and leggings and winter hats and coats. It’s even the best shading eyeshadow color, yet hard to find. But on my face for glasses, I like only very light colors, like the VERY LIGHT gray-white taupe (oyster) in their apparently over-edited photo. Here in this promo, they are literally posting a picture of a color that doesn’t even exist in their product, not ever near the color. So, Q: What if this were a wedding dress?: Example: I $order a very pale LIGHT oyster gray-white, and I am sent a dark, TAUPE-CHOCOLATE BROWN dress? See what I mean? Color values make all the difference, for light to dark and dark to light. SELLER, please pull❌ the photo, and hire do your own artist to create for you, and buyers, a true photo match because someone failed you, too (the wholesaler, distributer, or manufacturer?). Don’t use their photo, not on this pair of glasses. Since you’re selling TR90, a fabulous🥇 quality plastic like no other, why damage your business potential by disappointing customers with the wrong color so far off the true color? Look at my photos. My photo is correct, so the promo photo has been fanci-fied into a whole different fairytale-like color, one that is worth the manufacturer actually making, because it’s great. This difference in colors is as big as the difference between a wading creek and the Marianna Trench. It’s not “close”. It’s not “similar”. It’s not a “difference between monitors”. The difference is not “slight”. The photo does 🚫nOT belong on Amazon because it misrepresents the product, dramatically. Again, I’m an artist, I know what “slight differences look like, and this does not apply. It is deceitful to use this photo the distributor has provided you. Now I wonder if I’m going to be disappointed in the other pairs of glasses that are coming. They are vivid in the photo, but is that what I will receive? I’m so frustrated about trouble finding the right colors of TR90 glasses on Amazon, that after I got my package today and loved the quality of plastic but was so disappointed that it was nowhere near the color I needed and ordered, that I spent about 2 hours looking up where I can source my own TR90 beads and colorant and dreaming of melting it into my own molds. I should have gone in plastics as a career. But at least I found a friend in South Carolina with Grilamid TR polyamide beads. Now I just need a billionaire with an injection molding machine and an entire team to run it. I will end up ironing TR frames between parchment paper on my stovetop with a gas mask on.l to create the color I need. I mean, it should n’t be so hard to find products these days, but it still can be. For example: Where are the TR90 sewing thimbles that don’t exist that should exist? Shouldn’t that have come on the scene by now? Abundance, yet spotty little famines everywhere. I really wish there was a customer suggestion box for inventors somewhere to let makers know what people are actually wanting. Sellers would be making more money, no doubt. Today, though, I just want the color of frames I ordered. My bubble has been burst. My balloon of excitement has been deflated. Buyers beware, photos are not always a mere “difference-in-monitors” different. Still, do know that TR90 is a practically indestructible frame material. This substance, TR90 is even used in machines, toothbrushes, and in NASA applications. It is excellent, very flexible, yet strong plastic that does not want to break, not at regular room temperatures. So if you want a lovely, subtle, tender dark gray/brown with a bold-looking shape, these glasses are quality, and may look great on you. Read more
