Aviators not found (not what you think)

Are Ray-Ban RB3030's the only model they offer with the hook temples (You know, that hook behind your ear)? I really like the RB3362, but they come with standard temples. Can you "build your own" Ray-Ban's? Alternately, does anyone know any other makers with hook temples?

Here's another maker, Shuron.

Here are some; try looking for "cable temples" for more options. Back when I wore glasses I had some tinted lenses put in a regular glasses frame with cable temples as well, if you need prescription lenses.

You can get aviators from Randolph Engineering in any combination of temples (including hooks), frames, and sizes. They're a good bit cheaper, too, not that I don't love my own Ray-Bans.

you can order the hook-style earpieces at most rayban dealers. They should fit any other aviator frames. (my dad used to have a pair. They were great!)
