Ray-Ban Wayfarer Classic RB2140

Ray-Ban RB2140 Wayfarer in classic acetate frame. The original 1956 Wayfarer design with UV400 protection as standard across all lens options, with a polarized upgrade available. The keyhole nose bridge accommodates lower Asian nose bridges better than saddle-bridge designs, though the frame was not designed for Asian facial geometry and will sit lower and slide more on East Asian wearers than on the target Western demographic. Available from major online retailers across official and authorized reseller listings. not available in an official Asian Fit variant (Ray-Ban Asian Fit models exist for RB2132 New Wayfarer but not uniformly for the RB2140 original); the polarized upgrade is priced significantly higher than the non-polarized version and some buyers find the price gap disproportionate to the optical upgrade; the acetate frame is not durable for sport or high-impact activity; counterfeit Wayfarers are common on online marketplaces — verify seller authorization before purchasing.

The Ray-Ban RB2140 Wayfarer's acetate frame and keyhole nose bridge have genuine advantages for daily wear — UV400 standard across all lens options, polarized upgrade available, and the iconic shape that won't look dated in five years. The lack of an official Asian Fit variant and the frame slide on lower nose bridges are real limitations to test in person before buying.
