Yeah you do.

So I went back to the store because my sunglasses slided down my nose. He bended the end of the arms a bit. I think he used a hair dryer or something similar to soften the arms a bit.
That wasn't enough so I came back a few weeks later to ask for the same thing. Then he bended them a bit too far... and one of the arms a bit outward. You can see it in the attached picture. The right arm sometimes doesn't even hook behind my ear!

Now I'm trying to bend them in a better shape again. Does anyone have any tips? I tried holding the arms in hot water, to soften the material a bit. (I considered holding them close to a candle, but it's probably too hot.)

Also, a friend bended the nose bridge a bit and I'm not too happy with that. It's not symmetric anymore. Can I safely bend it back?

That sucks. That's the main reason I stick with acetate-plastic sunglasses.

I would go back to the guy and see if you can get an exchange or something. I don't know if real Ray-Bans are supposed to bend like that because I've never owned metal ones worth more than $40.

Hm the salesman told/showed me that the arms are flexible and you can bend them... So I guess I'll just bend them in shape after I've heated them up a bit.

I tried googling. I thought that maybe there was an optimal bending temperature or something. No luck of course.

Ok, I bended the arms of my Ray-Ban into shape.

I stuck them in boiled water to heat and soften the metal a bit. That seemed to work pretty well.
You heard it here first!

That's a 'special' smile you have there.

Oh dear.

Also, angrist: Nice!
