Hunter S. Thompson is an eyewear legend.  He’s known for his Ray-Bans and a number of other metal frames including a Rodenstock.  Black Book online has revealed numerous quotes regarding his fashion philosophy.

About sunglasses he says,

“I like the way sunglasses look, but I seldom wear really dark sunglasses. I’ve found that if people can see my eyes through the lenses it’s more comfortable. I try not to have my costume be a problem for me or other people.”

We don’t consider it a costume here Mr. Thompson.
