Sunglasses | Eyewear<American Optical Oxford Grey Crystal & Silver Green Nylon Lens

This style dates back, would you believe it, to 1935. Basically a much more sporty version of the round celluloid spectacles worn at the time, which you might have seen on Churchill or Joe Kennedy, these sunglasses signify the machine-age and all its glamour.

Before Ray-Ban and before Persol, there was American Optical. Since 1833, American Optical has designed and produced iconic eyewear worn by the elites and the everyman alike, from US presidents and NASA space crews to blue-collar workers and farmers. American Optical can credibly claim to be the ‘oldest and greatest optical company in American history.’
