info The story behind this famous sunglass design has been told in interview by Lamar Fike, Elvis' long-term friend and employee. He found the a pair of these in a gas station in the US in 1970 and Elvis tried them on and liked them. He wore them for a while and after that, he had them made in different materials and colours and the gaudy adornments, ie the TCB and EP logos, were added, the bridge having to be enlarged to accommodate the latter. Here though is a photo of Elvis in an unadorned pair. We had this pair fitted with new Polaroid lenses in the high neutral (62%ABS) lenses which apparently is a tint preferred by Elvis. Long Live the King! NB: this month we are also offering the black version. — klasik |
