I am a big guy (6'5" and 300#) and have a terrible time finding eye
glass frames that fit, at least in styles that I like. My particular
problems are width and the length of the arms (it seems that the
longest "stock" arms are 155 and I require a 160 ??)

I would love to find the style worn by Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld / Harry S Truman (gold arms attached directly to glass lens).

Thanks.  :-)

Dear weisstho-ga

Thank you for your very challenging question to find Gold Arm rimless
glasses attached directly to their lens.

There is a manufacturer that specializes in rimless glasses called 
FOCUSERS .

I contacted FOCUSERS customer service and they advised that they carry
extra long cables which are called Tuxedo cables. Tuxedo cables start
at 135mm but stretch out to 160mm.

I believe that the glasses that Donald Rumsfield has are most likely
Kazuo Kawasaki frames (purely based on looking at them during his
press conferences).  You may want to ask your local eyeglass store for
samples of those frames.  What's nice about them is that you can
choose the color for the arms, the style of the nose bridge, and then
you have complete freedom to design the shape of the lenses as you see
fit.  I would presume that the arms would come in a number of
different lengths since the glasses are "mix-and-match" in their
assembly.
