OT - Harbaugh Fashion Watch - New glasses
I noticed watching the video of the press conference covered in this wolverineswire article that Jim is sporting some new blue glasses. After checking around, looks like they're the Charles from Article One, out of Flint. He got some attention for his new Ray Bans a couple years back so good to see him reppin that Flint fashion (full disclaimer - I'm a Flintstone).
And this has been your Harbaugh Fashion Update. We may now continue with our regularly scheduled footballin posts.

Matte finish? Glossy? Eggshell? Semi-Gloss? How do they look in the sun?
August 15th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
word on the street is that they're transition lenses so they'll look damn fly
August 15th, 2019 at 4:40 PM ^
I'm not concerned about the lenses... it's the frames! The FRAMES!!!
Edit: and whether I can get them in the MDEN. How do they look under the stripper lights?
August 15th, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
WD can sniff out where to get them, guaranteed!
August 15th, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
The frames are a new brand that Harbaugh owns called Janklin.

Do the wings turn upwards?
August 15th, 2019 at 4:31 PM ^
EEK! When does August 31 arrive? Can't wait.
Apparel threads for glasses?
Now I've seen almost everything. (No absolutes)
May need a drink of Absolut.
Go Blue!!
August 15th, 2019 at 4:37 PM ^
By my calculations it arrives approximately one day before the First of September but I’ve been wrong a few times befor.
August 15th, 2019 at 4:39 PM ^
Definitely not soon enough.
August 15th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
Grey Goose is better or so I've been told. I don't drink vodka.
GO BLUE
August 31st will be here before we know it!!
August 15th, 2019 at 5:08 PM ^
Tito’s. Cheap and delicious
August 15th, 2019 at 5:36 PM ^
I was forced to buy a bottle of Wheatley's vodka the other day. Anyone know if it's any good or should I gift it to someone? I'm not a vodka guy so I don't know if it's crap or not and don't want to offend by giving it as a gift.
August 15th, 2019 at 4:39 PM ^
Consider donating the old pair for charity auction/donation.
August 15th, 2019 at 4:53 PM ^
I always found it was smart to keep the old pair as backs ups in emergency situations.
August 15th, 2019 at 4:42 PM ^
I can't wait until the year that he goes in a cocoon and emerges as a Schembechler doppelganger
August 15th, 2019 at 4:43 PM ^
$255.00 for plastic sunglasses is ridiculous.
August 15th, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
acetate is a type of plastic too. That is nice and so is TR90. Both are in nicer sunglasses. TR90 is one that works better for resisting heat and flexing with you so they won't fall off after you slam a clipboard or your headset down after yelling at the refs.
August 15th, 2019 at 4:47 PM ^
its nearly o'bourbon thirty.
August 15th, 2019 at 4:49 PM ^
Out of curiosity what does “checking around” constitute for finding out what glasses someone sports? I wouldn’t even know where to begin other than asking the owner of said glasses.
August 15th, 2019 at 6:09 PM ^
This was my question as well. How would one even go about this? It almost feels like OP is connected to the maker of the glasses.
August 15th, 2019 at 7:01 PM ^
I'm pretty bad at anything involving glasses shapes and different models but my buddy used to be a sales rep in the area and eventually across the country and is preternatural at it. He actually got told by a guy from Kellogg Eye Center. So not as much checking around as being told, but "checking around" is a good way to make it look like you did more work on your fashion reporting than what you put in.
August 15th, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
Shit.... we need to update the banner... pronto
August 15th, 2019 at 5:19 PM ^
I can't help but think of the "red stapler" guy from office space when I see him in these new glasses. Yikes.
August 15th, 2019 at 5:32 PM ^
Thank goodness he got new glasses! My husband and I talked about how the old glasses really ruined his vision on the field. No, we're not kidding, we emailed the athletic department because we were concerned that his old glasses were interfering with his peripheral vision. I'm not super crazy about the new look, but maybe this will be an upgrade, vision wise.
August 15th, 2019 at 6:47 PM ^
we are all hopeful. I will have my database ready that tracked squints by quarter to see if there is improvement
August 15th, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
You emailed the athletic dept. because you were concerned that his old glasses were interfering with his peripheral vision. You are hilarious! What other kinds of crazy shit have you done?
August 15th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
We are just your regular, intense Michigan fans that are concerned about our coaching! I think at some points since Iowa 16 we have all been concerned about his peripheral vision. We actually suggested switching to contact lenses for better visualization of the field. Anyways, in terms of being crazy, some other Michigan fans in our section told us to quiet down because we were ruining the atmosphere! That just makes us want to be louder! We need to come up with revenge for them this season.
August 16th, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
Any chance they were telling you to be quiet when we had the ball so the team could hear Shea's call?
August 15th, 2019 at 5:37 PM ^
Jim putting on glasses is where things turned to shit in 2016 @ Iowa.
August 15th, 2019 at 6:04 PM ^
not a good look imo
August 15th, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
August 15th, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
As long as they are not Woody Hayes glasses.
August 15th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
End zone vision
August 15th, 2019 at 9:03 PM ^
They're a bit more fashionable than the Woody glasses, but I wish he'd just do contacts or LASIK.
August 17th, 2019 at 10:01 AM ^
Ran into him last week... here's a pic of the spectacular specs... Also, it was hot out... and he's rocking the new 1/4 zip. Actually had people ask me if it was really him or a cutout... because they didn't believe he actually wears that outfit, day, night, summer, winter, game day, practice, or... just a normal day. Indeed he does.

Never got it, why some men care about all those fashion trends. I understand why my wife is happy every time new review by Mau-fashion.com comes out because womans clothes and accessory industry is changing rapidly and looking trendy requires some effort but as a man, good suit and a watch is all you need.
