I'd show you a photo of how they look on - but I don't allow images of myself to exist. Plus, I wore them for two weeks in the Kentwell foundry - can we say patination?

The design is a combination of two popular designs of the time. They looked nice together so I left them! The fashion police may object soon so I may pierce one out…

finished specs The lenses are tinted the lightest possible bottle green. They are also flat fronted - meaning the front surface is NOT curved. This does give a little distortion, but you do get used to it.
