Sorry if I spelled his name wrong, but those sun glasses he wears are tight! I want them! Anyone else agree?

I don't think those are them, because they had a gold frame and reddish orange lens

They are indeed Oliver People's Victory. But the specified image just shows them with a different shade in the actual lens. The lenses that Michael's glasses have are the Rosewood Gradient, polarized. I've been looking for a decent retailer locally, but none of them seem to carry Oliver People's, and I'm not sure on net shops. Any advice or suggested shops? When I looked them up I found them to be up to $400, so anything less than that is condered a big help.

Cool, I'll take a look around and if I find anything cheaper and looks legit, I'll tell you

I don't recall the exact line he used, but someone mentioned the glasses in an episode. Basically, Michael said he stole them from some guy during his escape in the first episode.

It was in epi 7, Broken Rules:

Bly: Nice job ditching the police there today. I knew you'd do it, of course, but you always manage those things with such style. Maybe it's the sun glasses. Where did you get them?

Michael: Oh, an Algerian special ops guy I tangled with a while back. He didn't need them anymore.

Haha

They are many differant kinds of styles for those glasses.
Like these:

Here's a link for Brown lenes one's on eBay on BuyItNow for $289:

I can't find Michael's exact frames, though
I read somewhere that they haven't been released yet.
Expensive as hell, too. Lowest price I saw was 300$

Here's a challenge vestokes...

Michael's got the Sunglasses of Justice, Fiona needs the Sunglasses of WhoopAss and Sam needs the Sunglasses of Boozy Flirting.

LOL!!! I'm glad there aren't many people in my office right now.....
That is a challenge and you know I will begin working on it. 

I don't remember where I found the pictures, but I have them here on my HD. It clearly says that the shade is called Rosewood Gradient since I made sure to write down all the exact data as it was.

As for looking up where you could buy the glasses locally, Oliver Peoples's website has a store locator that shows you through state/country which places are authorized to sell their merchandise. I just went to the one in Puerto Rico to get a pair for myself and they sent the order.

http://www.oliverpeoples.com/store/os/storelocator.aspx <- this is the address of the store locator inside their actual shop.

Will put the pics up agian when I get a good pic host.

I recognize that they aren't the exact same glasses but American Optics produces square aviator sunglasses. You have to dig a little to find a vendor that sells the amber colored lens - Cosmetan is the glass lens and High Contrast Amber is the polycarbonate lens - with the gold frame and the wire spatula earpiece. They are an affordable option - under $100...most for $50-$70 (depending on vendor and options chosen). I like his glasses and his watch - but $1000+ for them is out of the question - like Michael said - drinks (or accessories in this case) are cheap and easily paid for out of an operational slush fund but it's another matter when you are scrounging for money in your mom's purse (or in my case getting married, relocating, and taking a big pay reduction).

I was at a nearby mall today, and saw that an Oliver Peoples store had opened there very recently, so I popped in and tried a pair on. They feel great, but they are $400. I know what I'm saving up for...

By the way, for what it's worth, they had 4 different pairs in the drawer they showed me (none out on display). Only one of them (that I can remember) had a gold frame, and that pair had green lenses, so I'm thinking you'll have to special order them to get the correct combo.

Oliver Peoples Victory Rosewood Gradient Sunglasses

They have an Oliver Peoples store on Madison Avenue near where I live in New York City but they don't have the Michael Westen Glasses in the window. they should since it is near every actors favorite shopping store. BARNEY's. It's a see and be seen.

I been trying to find them too, no luck I emailed alot of sunglasses shops..

found them for sale here, but it says Gold/Rose Polarized? is that the same thing as rosewood?

Yeah I just emailed them last night and they sent me a picture today but it wasn't in the messge, so if they send me another message tomorrow with the picture in it I'll be glad to put it on here. Oh and I've been a Burn Notice fan and watcher since day #1, just haven't gotten around to signing up on here. I'm looking forward to posting here with everyone

yeah, I emailed them too

What you need to do is look on their list of authorized retailers, and go to them. If they don't have them specifically, you can ask them to order a set just for you.

I'm going to go get mine (finally here!) in 5 minutes. I'll post a picture if I can.

EDIT: Just got them!

You officially rock, Gandido! Nice sunglasses!!!!

seriously, you are almost the spitting image of Michael Westen! (kickass photo by vestokes!)

do you like them? is it worth buying?

Cool, STYLIN' Shades of the "Sunglasses of Justice", but no offense, ya ain't Michael Westen you know. Sorry, there can be only one. But They do look AWESOME! Very Cool.

are the lenses called Rose or Rosewood?

Lulu - I was the one who said he looked like Michael Westen, not that he was. Referring to the angle of the heads in both photos & how they match so well. I still think he looks like him & rockingly so!

The Sunglasses of Justice definitely add tons of stylin points!

Ok, I don't see it but if you think so. I just threw that out anyway. But only mockingly not to be taken seriously offended. It's raining here in NY, so I needed a laugh. It supplied one. Still don't see any resemblence even the head. But, that's just me.

Here's what they sent me,



Note that I did ask about the Gold/Brown Polarized, I will ask for a picture of the Gold/Rose though, but you should have a picture by then

I must say that I'm pretty jealous. But there is a store in one of the malls around me that sells Oliver Peoples Sunglasses and the store has like over 1,000 sunglasses to choose from. So whenever I have a chance to get over there, which may not be for a while, maybe I'll have myself a pair as well

Holy cheese! Don't tell me you threw down over $300 for sunglasses. Well, I'm cheap though.

In any case, it looks good on you. So, when you put them on, did you have an overwhelming urge to kick some spy ass?

My review so far:

The glasses feel VERY comfortable. Surprisingly light too. They're easy on the eyesight, and the soft change in color is very pleasant. Not your everyday sunglasses. I heard 'nice shades' a lot today.

To whomever asked: I asked for the rosewood color. I was very, VERY specific to my retailer. I asked for gold frames and the rosewood polarized lens, and that's exactly what they wrote down.

Cost me $374.00 USD.

EDIT:

Yes, I shelled out over $300 for some sunglasses. I work hard, so every now and then, if something merits it, I'll spoil myself. I like these sunglasses a lot, so it's a worthy investment.

No, I didn't have a sudden urge to go kick some spy ass. However, I did put them on/off a repeated amount of times to achieve that "Sunglasses of Justice" feeling.

they did not send me a picture,
they said "Rose lenses do look similar". I guess Rosewood and Rose are not the same.

Thanks for the review. And I hope Solstice (the store that I mentioned earlier) has the Rosewood Gradient glasses, if not then I guess I will order them. And if you don't mind me asking, was the store you bought in Puerto Rico an Oliver Peoples store or was an authorized retailer like Solstice? Sorry for all the questions but I like to be very prepared when I buy something like nice sunglasses

It was an authorized retailer called Optical Designers.

Hey, I think if you want to spend over $300 for sunglasses and can afford it, why not. I can't but I have a hard time finding sunglasses that fit my face. I have a small face and most don't stay on my nose. I just go for the basic Blue Blockers at Walgreens. I have yet to see the Oliver People's sunglasses around the corner from where I live in the city. they haven't yet showed the Sunglasses of Justice.

what you think?

that's so cool, GetBurned! Oliver Peoples Victory should hire you to do their ads -- the Sunglasses of Justice are a MUST HAVE.

Awesome shot of the Sunglasses of Justice. I'll take the guy wearing the glasses, You can have the sunglasses.

I don't like them AT ALL on Michael Westen, but they look nice on you.

Almost looks the same!

I was on set one day when they were filming scenes from the season finale in Pompano and I heard one of the other actors talking to him about the sunglasses. I wish I could remember what he said about them, but I was too enthralled by standing so close to him that I completely blanked. It was quite a lengthy conversation, though. And I did get a picture of him as he finished the scene where he was in the truck with his brother.

I think that after reviewing the Pilot episode, I'm sure that the ones used in the series aren't the rosewood ones. In some pictures and episodes in particular, they look more like the brown lens.

EDIT:

Yup. Confirmed it.

BN sunglasses = BROWN lens.

So you got the Rosewood lenses, and those aren't the lenses used in Burn Notice? That must suck, but hey you still have the sunglasses, I have to wait until January or early February. And let me ask you another question, how many looks do you get when you wear those sunglasses? I would think you would get a lot of views

I actually PREFFER the rosewood ones. The color change from the lens is subtle enough that I can wear them to most places.

And I get a lot of "Who is that guy?" kind of looks, since the shades look pretty celebrity-friendly.

nope I don't think they are the brown ones.. it might not be
polarized, you know that type of lenes that gets darker in the sun light but when your dark room they lighten up..



That does not look brown to me

As someone who owns a pair of the rosewood ones, I will CONFIRM that they aren't the ones. It has to be the brown ones, maybe polarized too.

I still think they are rosewood. Show some proof that they are not rosewood?

The way the glasses I own colorize in the sun/in general look nothing alike as to when Michael wears them and such. The shading is clearly different. Take the picture you posted as an example. When my sunglasses get hit by light in that angle, a somewhat pink-ish color comes out (look at the picture I posted in the last page). It's not completely pink since it gets darker on the top part. I also compared how mine look to several shots from 'Pilot' and 'Unpaid Debts' and I can confirm they aren't the rosewood ones.

Well, at least you have stylin' sunglasses regardless of the right shade either Rosewood or Brown. Glad everyone admires them.
