Vintage Eyewear by TITMUS
"JAMESTOWN"
A well-known masterpiece among
vintage eyewear enthusiasts
Among TITMUS's roots in work eyewear,
the Horn-Rim Wellington is extremely rare in circulation,
and while most surviving pairs show signs of wear,
finding one in deadstock condition is exceptionally rare.
An old-school horn-rim shape
boldly flared out on both sides.
A design that symbolizes the mid-century era
loved by beatniks,
and because it was already perfected at the time,
it remains timeless even now, nearly 70 years later.
An edgy outline and just the right sense of volume
that can never be replicated in modern eyewear design,
only found in "TITMUS" from this era,
is truly "Old-School American"
The color, with the depth unique to vintage,
changes its expression every time it catches the light,
adding warmth and elegance to the face.
*
A miraculous deadstock pair that shows no issues even after over half a century of storage.
Although the size is misprinted as 42
the actual size is 46.
Please enjoy the good old American craftsmanship
that cannot be replicated with today's technology.
