The Z87 Safety, released for engineers
by the American eyewear pioneer
【American Optical】.
A rare early SURE-GUARD model.
Despite the cheap quality,
it already has an established AO-style
that allows you to enjoy the atmosphere of the time.
Among AO's many safety glasses,
it is a basic Wellington that became a long-seller.
Rare black fade color
*
Unlike the thinning of the celluloid due to age
often seen in this model,
it is deadstock in good condition.
It is a pair you can enjoy for a long time.
The authentic vintage frame that you can feel in your hands
has established a real texture and appeal
that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas on the market.
