A safety frame released for engineers by the
venerable American eyewear brand,
【American Optical】.
Among AO’s many safety frames, this is a
long-selling, basic Wellington model.
It embodies the signature AO style
that allows you to experience the atmosphere of the era.
*Comes with genuine AO glass lenses, but
if inspected closely, a few very faint scuffs
from years of storage can be seen.
They do not interfere with vision.
Otherwise, there is no cellulose acetate shrinkage
often seen in this model due to aging,
and it is a deadstock item in pristine storage condition.
A true vintage frame you can feel in your hands—
these establish a level of authentic texture and charm
that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas on the market.
