A military issue model featuring a redesigned
take on the gray horn rims from the 1970s.

At the time, this model was produced by major
American brands such as AO and Bausch & Lomb
in strict accordance with US government specifications
for distribution as US Army issue equipment.
This background explains why many individual pieces
feature mismatched brand names between the front
frame and the temples. This specific item is a rare
example where both the front and temples are made by USS.



*
We have installed light gray (25%) lenses that complement
this frame, crafted by a Burbank laboratory that frequently
supplies sunglass lenses for film and television.
The density allows for indoor wear while ensuring your
eyes are clearly visible to others. Ready to wear upon arrival.
The frame is in excellent condition with no visible
deterioration or celluloid shrinkage.


A true vintage frame you can feel in your hands—
establishing an authentic texture and charm that cannot
be replicated by the many copies and replicas on the market.
