The Mexican eyewear movement that broke out in the mid-century spread to the United States at the time, with Buddy Holly becoming a fan, and many brands incorporating the brand's style into their own unique styles.

This model is made by the American brand "JAN"
It is made of precious celluloid that was ordered from Japan as an OEM.

At the time, Japan had advanced celluloid frame technology and was responsible for many OEM brands from the United States.

As expected, the Japanese technology and perfection are impressive.
Its high quality stands out.

The celluloid fabric, rugged and tough front shape and solid feel are of a level of perfection that rivals Mexican quality.
The wide temples and dotted rivets create the perfect accent, allowing you to enjoy the ultimate luxurious styling that is truly one of a kind.


*
A precious deadstock item in perfect condition.
The original glass lens is in excellent condition and almost scratch-free.
A rare model that you won't find anywhere else.


*
The realistic vintage frames that you can feel when you hold them in your hands have an authentic appeal that cannot be matched by the many copies and replicas on the market.

*After 1955, celluloid was banned by law and production in Japan ceased, but in the later JAN catalog (1968), this model was made of acetate and production had shifted to France.
