## Description

Beefy frames need a beefy retainer. The Original Cotton Large End retainer handles the thickest and widest frames imaginable with ease. Cool comfortable 100% cotton, it's the big brother to the Original Cotton Standard with all the same features and benefits.

Review: Very Comfortable - Work great! Fit wide temples. Stay where placed. They could be a little longer which would allow the glasses to hang lower on your chest when glasses are not in use - This could depend on how "thick" you are. Great product - will buy again.
Review: Fits Ray Ban New Wayfarers - I’ve used the original Chums for many years and always liked their simplicity and comfort. They’re made of soft cotton so they feel good against the back of my ears and they’re easy to wash. And because they fit on the rear of the eyeglasses arms, there’s nothing dangling on either side of my face which I find annoying. When I got my Ray Ban New Wayfarers recently, the Chums that I had would not fit the wider arms. With these large size Chums, though, my problem is solved.

This eyeglass retainer works well. Good quality although a bit pricey. Works well on both regular glasses and sunglasses too. Nice length and very comfortable. S
