Thoreau w/1.5 Index Polarized Sunglasses Lenses

The Thoreau in gun metal whiskey tortoise with green polarized lenses — a darker, more industrial titanium tone paired with warm tortoise accents and lenses that sharpen contrast in green-rich, outdoor environments. The first titanium frame in the collection, named after the Thoreau quote that became a founding motto for the brand. Handcrafted in Fukui, Japan, through more than 200 manual processes, in a material that is lighter, stronger, and hypoallergenic than acetate. Fitted with 1.5 high-index polarized lenses for sharper optics in a thinner, lighter build.

Quality

• Handcrafted by master craftsmen in Fukui, Japan - a combined effort of our Acetate and Titanium eyewear workshops • Front is cut from a single sheet of premium, 'Takiron Rowland' Japanese acetate ensuring flexibility, durability and a long life • A process of over 6 weeks to manufacture a single frame • Acetate front is gently tumbled in a wood barrel with resin chips and oil prior to 3-stage hand polishing • The highest grade, pure, 100% Japanese Titanium temple arms featuring a simple grainy pattern. • Nickel free • Undergoes three stringent quality control checks prior to receiving approval • Available with a selection of proprietary Japanese lenses available at manufacturer cost - no markup on lenses • Frames are shot with white light shone, so some frames, and especially lenses can look lighter than in real life • Do not expose to high temperature, excess moisture - and to use a dry cloth to remove any moisture to avoid damage • Clean lenses with luke warm water with a drop of neutral detergent and dry gently
