Produced at the turn of the 80s when the oversized look still prevailed but the frames were becoming slimmer & somewhat more feminine. in this case there’s a slight cat eye point to an otherwise rounded shape. But the main feature is the light tone lenses that will keep the emphasis on your eyes in proportion to the frame. We can’t help thinking this supercute candy stripe side does draw the attention in precisely the same fashion as the old school revolving barber shop signs. Unused original stock in good overall condition. The truth behind this particular case is that the lenses have a photochromic coating ( an innovation that soon turned into a trend craze in the late 70s ). After 40 years of storage the coating can disintegrate to varying degrees. We have too many which are hopeless, this is not one of them. There is a faint outline of the original sticker on the right lens & we mean outline, not shadow but otherwise they’re pretty good. Also the darkening effect does still work to a slight extent but is not as noticeable as in it’s heyday so we ended up classing them more like fashion glasses than sunglasses as the tone is so light. & finally we are quick to remind that real glass is now a specialist product in todays market that’s exponentially more expensive than plastics in exactly the same way as laminate vs wooden flooring/worktops etc. frame width (outside widest point): 140mm frame height: 58mm bridge width: 14mm inside hinge to hinge: 132mm temple length (from the hinge & including ear bend): 135mm Returns accepted.
