Out of curiosity what type of shades does Michael Chiklis wear when portraying Vic Mackey on the shield.

I want those shades !

 

[Justin85]

They're Polo brand, and they've been discontinued. I managed to get a pair before that, though. Yay me!

Can Vic Mackey close his mouth?

Lucky you They are a awesome pair of shades.

Doing a bit more searching:

glasses info from FX:
Vic's bad-ass sunglasses have been discontinued by the manufacturer. They are the 125 Polo Sport 1071/S 006 AH 59-18. Michael Chiklis does most of his own stunts and THE SHIELD is an extremely physically demanding show. On any given day, we expect those glasses to fly off his face and be crushed by a passing truck or gang banger. The replacements are similar but not exact (130 Polo Sport 1048/s H4A 59-19).

Found 2 Listings.

Polo and Ralf Lauren are 2 different types of Manufacturers right? Which would be the best one to get.

Is there any difference quality wise.

Speaking of badasses who wear sunglasses, anybody know the type Jack wore in 24? Season 2 specifically.

Okay, so they're not that distinctive, but still

edit: lol, google "Jack Bauer's sunglasses" and the GAF "24 Season 4 Hype thread" is the first result :lol

Vic Mackey would kick Jack Bauer's ass any day of the week.

True. Jack does some of his best work during darkness anyway. But that doesn't stop him from being badass with shades either.

Yeah but has Mackey ever killed a man with a wet towel?

Im gonna order 2 pairs of those Polo's. And now am after those Jack Bauer shades :lol

Do tell if you find out what brand/type they r.

Edit.. Id put $50 on Mackey in a showdown against Jack. Even if he loses he'd already have paid for a hitman to take Bauer out

This is madness. Mackey's a cop, right? So he deals with low-lifes, gang members etc, right?

Jack is a trained special forces operative. He takes on international terrorists, mercenaries, and military-trained baddies. He had his heart stop beating then continue ass-kicking.

No fucking contest.
