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!
