So I got the glasses as a gift, (The price came WAAAAAY down after some haggling) and I think they are child sized. Apparently the 5 3/4 on the arm doesn't mean 5 3/4'' wide (Coincidentally the exact width of my Ray Bans which is why I made the assumption), because the frames are only 5 inches wide. They fit pretty tight and I can see all the edges at once but I'll keep them anyway just because they seem to be pretty rare and because I've been curious for sooo long what kind of glasses Elwood was really wearing.
-Falling victim to my weird obsessions so you don't have to.

Found another pair of Elwood's apparently pretty rare SRO's. They're not black, but nothing some spray paint can't fix (If you're brave enough.) www.ebay.com/itm/SRO-U-S-A-6-HORN-RIM-DESIGNER-EYEGLASSES-FRAMES-50-22-150-54332/173459618166?hash=item2862ffb976%3Ag%3ARHcAAOSwBdRbWP74&_sacat=0&_nkw=sro+eyeglasses&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0----- www.revantoptics.com/custom-cut-lensesHere's where I got my lenses made. The frames snapped from some pre-existing heat damage, and they offered to refund me and gave me money to buy a new pair, and sent me back the two halves, WITH the new lenses installed, each in their own glasses drawstring microfiber bag. They kept in good contact with me through e-mail, even offered to help scan eBay for an identical pair! I was able to repair the glasses with some JB Weld, thankfully they broke right in the middle, and not around the lenses. The lenses themselves are very nice, dark and shady but not blinding! It looks like now their custom lens page is booked for a while, but they have a lot of options for lenses. Color, tint, prescriptions, polarization, etc.
