Torin Releases His TYW Sunglasses Line on Kickstarter

[Kretzschmar]

Torin's been hyping this up for about a year now and it finally came out on Kickstarter.

Info:

The TYW Designs line sunglasses line is starting with four styles and 10 different acetate colors in total -- the standard Rezi-Tek UV version is $130 and the Rezi-Tek UV Polarized version is $150:

Note: all sunglasses frames are Rx compatible.

Are you going to snag some or nah?

 

[JoeF2661]

No. I'm not about to dump 150 on a pair of sunglasses that are not oakley's.

 

[TOAST.]

Looks pretty dumb to me. Why do I need hats and sunglasses with his initials on them? Sorry TYW

 

[patskis22]

Looking tight. Cooler than anything I've seen from Oakley or Ray Ban. Props to TYW

 

[profa_212]

Nah I can get Smith's for like half that, sorry torin.

Maybe down the road if they are really nice or something, but super expensive sunglasses arent my thing. I see very little purpose in dropping loads of money on sunglasses. Especially some brand new brand

 

[Twinjibber77]

Looks like they're going for class.... but they're more expensive than most Raybans? Why? No.

ah yes, all those wealthy jerries who totally know who torin yater wallace is...

the sunglass industry needs some shaking up but if i'm paying $150 for sunglasses that i'm shredding in, theyre going to be oakleys that have really nice lenses. what do i know about TYW lenses? nothing

 

[SEABURN]

I hope he's drop shipping, and doesn't have too much invested in this. Talk about a "me too" offering. and that price point seems criminal... I hope he has a good merchandising/marketing team. I have a feeling the people that know who TYW is will not buy into this product, I hope I'm wrong... he's a dope skier who's continually worked hard through a lot of BS.

 

[lurking]

Yeah lemme drop ~$140 for kickstarter sunglasses with 3 letters on them and cliché frames, definitely...

 

[Crust_Station]

He’d do better to glue his logo onto thriftstore frames and sell them for $40 on instagram

 

[Rparr]

I am getting so tired of pros making incredibly generic clothing / “lifestyle” brands. Hoping that kids will buy your stuff just because your quasi-famous name is on it is an incredibly poor business model. At least this isn’t as bad as Sean petit’s superproof line, I guess

 

[mooseman077]

Good luck to him but im gonna pass

 

[tinkytwinky]

he grew up in aspen you twat

not stoked on these being $150 though, i'd buy a pair of claude von stroke shades before these puppies

what does his growing up in aspen have to do with it? my point was that he's not enough of a household name to drive sales with the gaper crowd. not for $150 sunglasses, anyway

Same with Bobby's company, pretty sure the shirts are just thin cotton and say "Bob culture" on it, maybe some with graphics idk. Just a way for them to make extra money and promote themselves more.

I think bobby's company is a cinematography thing, I can't find anything about buying clothing on the site

 

[GrandThings]

Damn these designs are actually pretty sick and look high quality. I'd pay $50 for them, but not $150

Guess it must've failed, if you look up bob culture on Google there's shop and product links but come up with a 404 error.

Aspen is like the mecca of gaper crowds and TYW is a household name there

Fair point but I'd still bet it's not enough to make this a success

i definitely remember seeing a couple kids with bob culture shirts on at school last year. Texan kids with rich parents who take ski trips to Colorado every year will buy this stuff and that's about it.

I lose or break a pair of sunglasses every month so I just buy like 3 shitty but polarized pairs on amazon for $20

This. I usually run through two pairs of Knockarounds a year either from breaking or losing them
