An "US Army Official" frame issued to the
Army in the 1970s, based on strict
US government military specifications (Mil-Spec).

Mil-Spec refers to rigorous, military-grade standards.
Products that pass these tests are superior in durability,
functionality, and reliability, serving as a benchmark
of quality that consumers can trust.

With a durability designed to withstand harsh battlefields
and missions, the streamlined, no-frills horn-rimmed
design is loved today as an "eternal standard"
in modern fashion.

At the time, this exact model was produced by major
American brands such as AO and Bausch & Lomb,
manufactured under strict US government specifications
as US Army issue models. This background is why
many units are found where the brand names on the
front and temples do not necessarily match.
This piece is a rare example where both the front
and temples are manufactured by USS.

*
We have installed light gray (20%) lenses that pair
well with this frame at a Burbank laboratory that
produces many sunglasses lenses for movies and television.
The tint allows your eyes to be clearly visible to others,
making them suitable for indoor wear as well.
Ready to wear upon arrival.
The frame is in excellent condition with no signs
of deterioration or cellulose shrinkage.

A true vintage frame that you can feel the moment you
hold it—it establishes an authentic texture and charm
that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and
replicas currently on the market.
