From American eyewear pioneer
【American Optical】,
the Z87 safety frame "FLEXI-FIT"
released for engineers.
A basic Wellington frame that became a
long-seller among AO's many safety models.
This is a rare sunglass version featuring the
authentic style of the era and original
AO Calobar glass lenses.
*This piece is in excellent deadstock condition
with no cellulose shrinkage due to aging,
which is often seen in this model.
The original Calobar glass lenses are also
undamaged and in perfect condition.
The lens density is approximately 40%,
allowing eyes to be faintly visible to others.
Ready to wear upon arrival.
A true vintage frame you can feel in your hands,
it establishes a level of authentic texture and charm
that mass-produced copies and replicas cannot satisfy.
