It’s definitely a factory return as they were not very clean but cleaned up nicely and worth the money since discounted. Love them.Product as described. Full retail kit with case, cleaning cloth, warranty card and Persol box. Shipment was originally delayed. However, Amazon vendor received order directly from Luxottica in Italy as box was inside box. Vendor expedited shipment to me once they received from Italy. A lot of persons are hesitant to buy Persols online as they believe they may be knock offs. I have ordered 4 pairs of Persols in the past year and they have all been authentic. Do your research on the style, size, frame color and lens in advance.I never have written a review before this but after purchasing this product from seller TheAspecs, I feel obligated to! Firstly I would like to briefly mention that the sunglasses themselves are great! I would definitely say that these Persols take the cake as my favorite out of all of my other shades, besides the look and appeal, the quality of the glasses is phenomenal, the craftsmanship is great, you can see right away that they are made to last and build from the finest materials, built strong and if treated right will last a long time, you get what you pay for and there's a reason why these are on the upscale class of sunglasses and why so many celebrities wear them, their luxurious and will always be a classic staple item that will never go out of style! Now, for the seller that I purchased these from, TheAspecs, their customer service was outstanding and so refreshing to work with!! Michelle was so sweet and patient and was extremely helpful making sure to answer all my questions and help with any requests I had! I decided to exchange the pair for the 714's (pretty much look the same except the 714's are made to fold), Michelle was very understanding and gladly sent the 714's to me with a prepaid return label to sent back the 649's. They are a small company, it was so refreshing to deal with a mom and pops type shop who actually showed that they care about their customers and respect them and appreciate their business, I can assure you that if I had purchased these from a big brand company, I would NOT have gotten the same treatment and care! Not to mention I would have not paid as low as I did for these glasses! I paid basically half for them of what I would have spent at any retailer, and I can assure you that the product is 100% authentic! Comes with the tags, case, stickers, certificate of authenticity and all! I would purchase from them again with pleasure and would recommend anyone else to buy from them in a heartbeat!i purchased from fashionstar usa and as you see that is what i received. amazon supported me to start return procedures but it is a time loss it was supposed to be birthday gift.the item seems original and solid however it is definitely factory second, it is sent to me on purpose.i do not recommend fashionstar usa seller, try to purchase from a trust-able sellerReturning these due to one of the ear pieces being loose.These feel like good lenses, solid product and mostly feel authentic. Unfortunately they are noticeably warped, and sit crooked, right out if the box.I will try taking to an eyeglass repair, but obviously there is nothing worse than a product being imperfect right out of the box…the picture is much more nicer than the product. glasses are blue but it's almost invisible. the frame is much more darker than the pictureThese are absolutely some of the best looking and functioning shades I have ever owned. I am a long time collector of present day and vintage sunglasses and have always wanted to own a pair of the Persol 649s. However, operating under the credo of "never pay full price for anything," I decided that the lower Amazon price points were within my comfort zone. If possible, I recommend going to a retailer and trying the 649s on before buying online, because the sizing seems quite different than what you might expect from Ray Ban and Maui Jim. I selected the smaller 52 mm lens with a 135 mm temple, and the glasses just did not feel as secure as they should. So, to remedy that, I tried to reorder the 52 mm with a 145 mm temple from Amazon's providers. I was unsucessful because I do not think that combination is available, so I asked my optometrist to order the 145 mm temples from Persol. After the appropriately sized temples were added, the fit was perfect. In addition to the look and feel of the 649s, the Persol polarization is very soothing to the eyes, and improves the way you see the world. They were worth the hassle.Great style but for a small head...this size is huge!I’m: 5’10 with 32 inch waist. I also have a strong jaw and chin.This size should be perfect but I think it’s more suitable to a bigger man.A meat head maybe. OR, I maybe slight and smaller than average mandespite being over average height. If you have a fat face they may workreally well!If you want the large 649's go for these 24/86 (first number (24) is the frame style and the second (86) the lens colour) 54 (square box) 20 (first number (54) is lens width in mm and the second number(20) is the bridge width).You can't get a larger pair of 649's. In my opinion these are so much better than Ray Ban 4147.Ordered these sunglasses from Amazon directly. Took two days for delivery with prime, which was pretty quick considering it was posted from Germany. Packaged well. The quality of the sunglasses are awesome and come with a nice leather case and glasses cloth. The design of these glasses are fantastic and fit well. Overall very pleased!Loose hinges. Hair stuck in the hinges on arrival. Defected in the bridge. Smudges on the lenses. I have never been more disapointed when ordering something in my life. Stay away!great quality, strong frame and unique persol design. 5 *
