The Icon of American Eyewear
American Optical
In its long history, born in the
mid-century golden era of the 1960s,
this "SIRMONT" model became a style
that symbolizes "intellect".
Transcending a mere tool as glasses,
the Sirmont was loved as a symbol of a man who sticks to his beliefs.
It is extremely famous that Black liberation leader Malcolm X
always wore them during important moments.
The sharp browline that only the originals of that time have
and the unique "wing shield (decorative rivets)"
create an expression of individuality that
modern reproductions can never reproduce.
The bridge and rims are luxuriously
finished with "12KGF (12K Gold Filled)".
It emits a deep, rich golden glow that blends into the skin,
distinct from current plating.
Please enjoy the charm of a timeless masterpiece that only the OG of that time has,
not a replica.
*
Good condition pieces are becoming harder to find year by year,
but this is deadstock with no rust or deterioration on the frame
and no visible issues in its storage condition.
Red dot screw (red-headed screw) specification,
and the nose pads are discolored, making it a piece you can enjoy for a long time.
The real vintage frame that you can feel in your hands
establishes an authentic charm that cannot be satisfied by the many copies,
reproductions, etc. that are on the market.
