Description
Classic half-rim: We set out to create the perfect half-rim glasses using only the finest materials and best craftsmanship. Each frame is meticulously handmade in Japan. The Vanguard shape was designed to be comfortable and flattering on all face shapes. Its wire-core acetate temples are highly adjustable and provide a more comfortable and substantial feel than traditional all-wire temples. Its surgical-grade stainless-steel construction and smooth, high-quality hinges ensure these will be your favorite glasses for years to come.

In March of 1958, the American satellite project Vanguard 1 launched into orbit. It still circles the Earth today as the oldest man-made satellite. In recognition of this achievement, our Vanguard frame celebrates the spirit of an era when mankind reached for the cosmos; it's our modern take on the classic half-frame shape.
