EDIT: Just received the RB4115 wrap style Ray Bans directly from Ray Ban. Larger case than normal, looks fake, but the info packet is legit, box is perfect. But the case is smooth grain, with the larger stitching. I think I might take them in to Sunglasses Hut to see if they think they're real The stitching on the case is also different. The length of each stitch is longer on the fakes and it looks looser. Shorter stitches uses more thread and makes a tighter/stronger seam.

In 2001 I bought my Rayban's at Sunglasshut. My RB 2045 Cutters w3289 serve me still today. The magic of Rayban's is that they mostly use " real glass " lenses. Real glass vs plastic and other materials = real glass is heavier, but don't scratch that easy. My Rayban's are now 21 years, and still look good and are amazing to use. So guys get your Rayban's at Sunglasshut ! Great service, good prices, and excellent quality. Ps some beauties in their shops too.

[@jynxyjynxy]

My quickest and easiest way to tell the difference between real and fake is where the temple piece connects to the frame. The fakes have little or no taper from where the temple rod is round to where it is flat and connects to the frame. Real glasses have approx 4.5 mm where the taper begins then becomes flat and ends at the screw hole. The fakes are approx 3.55 mm or less.

[@nemesioansorin]

The Fake and The Original - the production cost was probably the same for both of these pairs- that's funny.

Yup.. And a $20,000 Rolex cost no more than $40 to make. Unless it has rare materials like gold

[@nemesioansorin]

@@PsychoBenches True - but Rolex indeed is using good / expensive materials. Of course a big part from the price is ... 'branding'. The situation with glasses - same acetate frame cost 10 times more just because of the ... 'branding'. Ray Ban (same materials) long time ago was around 35 to 50 bucks - after Luxottica bought the brand suddenly they cost around 150$ or more. Branding != quality as it was on the past - on 80's a product price was related to it's quality, today is related to the brand - the connection quality / price is not important anymore. Humanking wannabe 'someone' therefore the need for validation trough 'high end brands'. Hmm ....

[@BourbonInhibitions]

You can feel the difference in build quality and quality of materials. Fake Ray Bans feel like shitty gas station sunglasses and until you've owned a pair of authentic Ray Bans you can't possibly comprehend the difference. Not to mention fake sunglasses don't have any regulation on the lenses they use so you can be damaging your eyes and not even realizing it with a junk fake pair just because you're a cheap skate. It's much more than a box or sticker. Quit being an idiot.

[@56Gumball]

As anyone with half a brain cell knows the main difference is in the quality of the lenses, materials and construction, and their ability to give you a ‘crystal clear’ image whilst protecting your eyes at the same time. Chinese rip-offs won’t give you quality glass or construction. As the old adage goes, you only get what you pay for.

Another issue is with the temples, when I put the glasses on a table, just a temple touch the table, the other temple is like 5 millimeters up and doesn’t touch the table. Anyone knows if this is normal?

[@grovacca78]

Hi Shade, very nice video, I just purchased a pair of Ray-Ban of this same model so I was glad to learn about how the fake looks like. I can now confirm mine are original!I have a critic though, that in sunglasses lenses are the most important elements, and they were not mentioned at all. Me and some people might be interested in knowing about a difference in lenses quality, vision, resistance, eyes tiredness after some time you wear both of them. This part might be useful as well to help those people that buy a fake being aware that they are fake (seems strange but u fortunately there are such people), just interested in showing up they have Ray-Ban, that it's a status symbol. I would be personally courious to know as I would be very surprised and disappointed if at the end there is no difference in lenses between a fake and a real. There are lot of people that don't care about brands at all, then if lenses are good enough, why not to buy some that look like original from far?

[@BourbonInhibitions]

You are grasping for straws if you're wanting him to talk about how his eyes feel after wearing sunglasses lol.

[@TheBooban]

Yeah, the lenses are the most important part. If the lens is the same, I don't care if they are fake. But they most probably are not. Just having used regular cheap sunglasses, you can't see through them like you can from quality sunglasses. People who have never owned expensive glasses don't know this. That's why I buy the expensive ones, and to be sure the UV protective is real and active.

[@terrorsquadlith]

Are you saying real raybans dont come with the booklet that has RayBan on both sides?

[@martinohesse]

Thanks for this video. I bought online a rayban (not cheap) and they're very close to the original ones: they even weight the same and almost all the spots are like the original, only can small differences by comparing one to one with an original 3025. The case of the fakes do looks very diferente to the authentic ones. But the spots that anyone can spot without having an original ones to compare are 1) a macro photo of the "rayban" in the left glass. They look the same at simple view but a high quality macro photo shows that the fake ones have black spots inside the white letters menwhile authentic ones have a completely fill letters with the white impression. 2) the "RB" in the nosepads of the fake ones look exactly like the ones you show here, a completely different typography and very roughly engraved meanwhile the authentic ones have a very fine engraved RB.

[@user-sf3xq5tt5w]

Thiner cases are more common in ray-ban too it depends on size of glasses and the model itself, for example clubmasters become in larger cases than the aviators and small aviators become in smaller cases than the large one etc..

As someone in the eyewear industry - and a Ray Ban aviator fan for decades (although Luxotica - Essilor - is our main rival), I'm old enough to remember when REAL RB were 40 bucks! Luxotica ruined the price points (and quality) from the original Bausch + Lomb offering. Some of this is not a warning of counterfeit: the fold in the microfiber, for example. The frames are where it matters. And you found a lot of the fake flaws - a very thorough review!!

[@ShadeReview]

Hey thanks for the insightful comment! Don’t forget inflation is the biggest factor in ray bans increased pricing, I have found old receipts ranging from the 1970s to 1990s and then I pop those numbers into an inflation calculator and the new ones were about $10-$20 more adjusting for inflation!

[@bobboberson2024]

​@@ShadeReview Costs rise, no question. All around. But Luxotica put a premium on RB after their acquisition. This is the designer dilemma. Many frames, regardless of price, are made by the same manufacturers. Branding is a major component in consumer pricing, irrespective of build costs. They increased prices to elevate the appeal. But it is my opinion the product has nothing to ahow for that.

[@nathansnyder8378]

I’m also in the industry, and when I started out in the mid ‘00s, basic RB aviators were $99. But I’ve also seen the warranty pamphlet tucked into the cellophane along with the cleaning cloth. Ray Ban lost their hold on the market when Oakley became top dog. Lux buys Ray Ban, re-markets them, buys Sunglass Hut, then tries to force Oakley out. Associates were also *nudged* to sell RB over Oakley. At the end of the day, Lux’s motto is always “if you can’t beat them, buy them”.

[@bobboberson2024]

Exactly. You can buy Ray Bans Knock-offs for 5-10 euros from a market and they can do exactly the same job as the real ones. Maybe the frame do not have fancy writing on it,and maybe the hinges feels a little worse,but the lenses feels and look the same. They scratch just as easy,and you can buy 10 pairs of fake sunglasses for the price of a real one. I own a pair of real RB Aviators as in this video. They look so bad that everyone thinks they are fake (Because everyone thinks REAL ones cant scratch or look bad) I really try to search youtube for a REAL argument why real RB are better than fakes,but i have yet to find a legit reason. Who cares if the clean clothe is nicer,or the case is slightly better quality? Are you wearing those? Hmm ONLY reason to why buy legit sunglasses is because no one should support the illegal fake market. People working as slaves for no money and all that kinds of thing.

[@Segatari]

@@Kenneth86666 Great point! But honestly speaking, I don’t think you’d want to support Luxotica neither since they’re monopolizing the whole glasses industry.

But yeah indeed, slavery is no good.

[@340395Andres]

Be careful with fakes. Get them UV tested before wearing them. Your eyes dilate when you wear sunglasses and if they don’t have a UV light filter you can be harming your eyes by exposing them to harmful UV rays. It can cause eye cataracts or even eye cancer.

you are correct

[@lollol-mg9cr]

was beginning to worry I have fake one. bought it in dubai though

[@Apaleutos24]

@@lollol-mg9cr no...not at all...but keep them as past issues will eventually gain some kind of vintage value over the years....you'll never know from marketing perspective what Ray Ban's policies will be in a decade from now for example....so at least for educational and archival reasons it is nice to keep your pairs.

[@MrVitamincpp]

I have many expensive Ray-Bans and cases are so different, some are thinner, some thicker, several years back they were very different than my latest ones from a month ago.

[@ClashWithArthur]

Exactly , I got two aviators and one wayfarer in which one aviator is like 25 years old , yes exotic ! It's case is really thick and strong but the latest one (3year) old one got comparatively thinner cover , also it's quality has dropped a lot

[@muzaffertopcu.]

We are Sunglass Hut baby !

[@seankraker]

I sell raybans and a lot of cases are now thin and some thicker, so that one is not a way to spot fakes.

[@nitroxylictv]

If only they had Deuteranomaly color correction lenses that were also polarized.

[@Diadactyl]

Remember raybans don't always have the lens signature. Especially if you need a lot of lens thinning!

[@michaelhargrove5111]

I bought a pair of ray ban aviators from sunglass hut back in the 80's and they were exactly like your Ebay sunglasses

[@ShadeReview]

But I’m sure your quality was better. Also yours would say BL Ray Ban

[@haroldfiedler6549]

The B&L Ray Bans you bought in the 80's ARE NOTHING like the current production Lux Ray Bans or the many counterfeits for that matter. How incredibly clueless.

[@NB-ky5ol]

The real crime here is still charging over $50 for sunglasses. Charging as much as they do for cheap plastic pieces. I’ve always worn polarized sunglasses but $150+ is outrageous. The whole eye wear industry is owned by Luxotica. They own Sunglass Hut, Pearl Vision, Vision Works, Chanel, Ray Ban, Ralph Lauren, ect. They alone control the market almost entirely. It’s a complete racket.

[@ShadeReview]

They don’t own Maui Jim, Randolph, Garrett Leight, SunGod, Native, Costa. And many many more so no they don’t have a monopoly there are other plenty of options

[@freddysantaella5556]

Thank you friend! from Venezuela!

[@nonnone7060]

Watching this after getting a legit pair of raybans with prescription from my glasses shop

[@OriasX]

I'm confused. I've bought polarized aviators from a legit local store and paid around 200$ for them but they don't have any writing at all on the nose bridge and the logo on the nose rest looks like the one on the fake ones but the ray ban logo on the lens looks absolutely perfect. Did they really sell me fake glasses? I'm from Europe,idk if that makes any difference

[@rickyrunks510]

This guys talking sh*t

[@joashlee1684]

i have this same issue, did a legit retailer just sold me fakes?

[@bihhcardi9374]

😂😂 they scammed you on those fakes. They don’t even cost $15 on dhgate

[@BeardTurkiye]

Thank you so much

[@dr.hazeblaze9216]

I found a pair the other day, cuban aviators with green lens, golden frame, they feel REALLY real like they are heavy, and they have RayBan logo white top left on left lens, and RB ingraved on right lens, dunno if they are fake

[@dantran5821]

You should know exactly what’s you looking for as Rayban Vintage USA, because now Rayban has been produced from Italia.

[@sablinger]

They were produced in the U.S. until the mid 1980ies, then in Italy until almost 2000; then mainly relocated their whole production to china where now nearly all Ray ban sunglasses are made; with only few exceptions to italy, where only prototypes and new coatings / models / designs are built in low quantities.

[@vickyvonstein2331]

Subscribed because you have a PM2.

[@ShadeReview]

Thanks haha!

[@jkbc]

aside from the box, the case, and all the accessories, how is the functionality of the sunglasses in term of screening the Sun ray compare between the ebay version and Luxotica? are there any significant difference that worth the price difference?

[@msaidely]

thanks bro!

[@TheGjkddk]

Can you do a top affordable sunglasses video? Maybe $100 and less? Thanks

Great video idea!

The "RB" etch is in the middle of the left lens toward the outside next to the hinge. Not the top. How incredibly clueless.

[@mene8768]

Hi..I recently bought a pair of hexagonal ray ban glasses .. I just don't understand. In the moment when I put them in front of my eyes, the ray ban logo comes on the right lens. in all the pictures of the other people I see that it comes on the left lens ... are my glasses fake or does the logo have to come on the right lens? :(

[@khaisky8110]

Wow, very useful contents to me.

[@amillie_412]

so i just got a new pair of raybans yesterday and i bought from the rayban website and mine the cloth and little pamphlet were together in the little package and there was no sticker on my lens. just a different way mine were shipped from this for others whos came my way.

[@mothproof]

Aesthetics and distinguishing details aside, how's the UV light test on both of them? It would have been insightful to know whether the fake had UV protection or none at all, and whether the fake can give the Luxxotica-monopolized original Rayban a run for its money in case their UV protection is just as good. Not to condone pirates and copycats, but doing a function over form test would be a more thorough review, than just nitpicking the tiny details.

[@valerieebner2995]

thank you for actually knowing what you're talking about!!!

[@Pham-Bao-Hoa]

Exactly!

[@Mycarisloose]

I tried to watch your video on that...couldn’t find it. 🤔

[@ShadeReview]

I did a UV test off camera and the REAL ones passed it with 100% coverage from UVA and UVB rays but the fakes were only 90% coverage. This confirms that the fakes can BURN YOUR EYES and make you go blind. Because they are illegal they don't have to meet any standards set by the US or EURO government.

[@jawtek82]

Exactly.

[@stephenathon]

If you have the stomach for it, some may be interested to see you compare some of the cheaper online options in the $30-60 range such as Shadyrays, Knockaround, Sunski, Blenders, Zenni, Kent Wang, Eyebuydirect, etc. Several of these companies make big claims, and you'd be the best one to put them to the test!

[@TheSun_89]

Blenders are trash, I will never buy them again. I’d buy a fake pair of Ray Bans ANY day over Blenders. That’s how much cheaper they are than the Ray Ban fakes in quality.

[@stephenathon]

@@TheSun_89 Thanks for the feedback! My bro has some Blenders and I'm not impressed, though the styles are nice. I tried Knockaround and they were horrifically bad. Sunksi looks nice but afraid I'd be disappointed coming from nicer shades.
