From American eyewear pioneer,
【American Optical】
A safety frame released for engineers.
With an AO-signature style that captures the atmosphere of the era
already firmly established, this is a basic Wellington frame that became
a long-seller among the many safety models from AO.
A rare early model from before the FLEXI-FIT era.
*This is a deadstock piece in excellent condition,
without the acetate shrinkage often seen
in this model due to aging.
The light green lenses, which perfectly suit these frames,
were installed and finished at a lab in Burbank, CA,
the heart of the film industry, known for supplying
sunglasses for many movies and TV shows.
With a tint level of about 20%, your eyes remain clearly visible.
The density is suitable for indoor wear as well.
Ready to wear upon arrival.
A true vintage frame you can feel the moment you hold it,
offering an authentic quality and charm that
mass-produced copies and replicas simply cannot match.
