DESCRIPTION

A modern reinterpretation of the iconic optical frames once issued to U.S. Army personnel from Vietnam to the Gulf War. Originally worn by infantry, medics, and mechanics, these sunglasses reflect the stripped down ethos of Cold War military gear, practical, durable, and designed to perform.

We’ve stayed true to the original silhouette, preserving its proportions and utilitarian feel, while refining the construction for contemporary everyday wear. Made from sturdy acetate and finished with gold plated stainless steel rivets and hinges, each pair is equipped with polarized UV protective lenses to reduce glare and improve visual clarity in everyday conditions.
