Tony, from Oxford, England was lucky to obtain this pair of WWII aviators by American Optical. He saw an
article about us in the Daily Mail and ordered immediately and it was a good thing he did as 15 orders for the same
pair promptly followed. Says Tony, "I have been after an original pair of aviators for a long time and have made do
with Ray Bans... now I have both, smashing. Look forward to buying from you again in the future. Kind Regards,
Tony." (Aug. 2007)

Jim, from Massachusetts has been looking for a particular style from the 1940's-50's and swooped on this pair
from our New for May section. It is by Willson (still going today, in the USA) and is fitted with a reinforced safety
glass, fully UV protective - so great for all situations.

Mike, from Manchester, UK, went for this great American Optical frame from the early 60's they called
Manhattan. (We have another pair on the site in a different colurway - check out men's frames.) We think Mike
looks pretty cool - perhaps not as tortured as
Bill Evans - but definitely in his company. Keep up the piano
lessons, Mike!.

B&L Ray-Ban Caravan in black. Sadly he lost those so he has just bought another pair we luckily had in stock.

that he bought two - one in black and the other in tortoise. He couldn't model them both, so he asked his wife

"Greetings from West Palm Beach. I had these exact Vuarnet sunglasses for 20+ years and broke them before
Christmas 2005. I had searched far and wide without luck trying to replace them. Your site is great site, terrific
communication and fast fast delivery. This picture is the best BeBe and I could take. Not sure which of us is
uglier. Many thanks! Steve." (Feb. 2006)

Richard, a regular customer from Florida, recently bought some 50's American Optical shades, but before he
did, he sent us this photo of him in a previous purchase, the 1980's B&L Ray-Ban Clubmaster, which as you
can see, being a combination frame, has a very 50's feel about it. That Florida sunshine really agrees with Rich!
