Z87 safety frame.
It has become a long-selling product among AO's many safety products.
A rare early model, pre-FLEXI-FIT.
A typical AO style that captures the atmosphere of the time
*The frame is in good condition and does not have the cell thinning that often occurs with this model due to aging. We had the frame fitted with UV gray lenses (20%) that match this frame at a laboratory in Burbank, the heart of the Hollywood film industry, which produces many sunglasses for movies and TV.
The darkness is strong enough to be worn indoors and allows the other person to see your eyes clearly. You can wear it immediately after receiving it.
The realistic vintage frames that you can feel when you hold them in your hands have an authentic texture and charm that cannot be matched by the many copies and replicas on the market.
