BLEEDING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
OUTCLASSES EVERY OTHER LENS MATERIAL

In Osaka, Japan, the culmination of years of meticulous research and development occurred in March 2020, with the production of a urethane lens technology that few have had the fortune of working with.

Compared to the polycarbonate lenses traditionally used for impact and ballistic eyewear, our urethane lenses are a technological leap, with scratch-resistance and clarity rivalling glass.

Impact Resistance

Successfully tested by a certified, industry leading lab against a 6.35mm steel ball launched at over 150fps, the same tests to assess high velocity impact for the ANSI Z87.1 rating.*

Clarity

With an ABBE value exceeding 45 and with 40 Lines of Resolution (the maximum score on the clarity test) these lenses see clearer than your eyes.

Scratch Resistance

With a Bayer rating of 6, our lenses exceed the scratch resistance of mineral glass. Polycarbonate lenses such as those used in ballistic eyewear are strong but very soft and vulnerable to scratches with a Bayer rating of 1.

Urethane Lens after multiple projectile strikes

Our Urethane lens after 10 close range impacts from air-powered .22, .177, and improvised chisel-tip pellet projectiles fired at various velocities.

Traditional family craftsmanship
spans oceans

In Varese, Italy, the Mazzucchelli family have produced the best acetate frames in the world since 1849.

In California, USA, a veteran eyewear family edges, lasers and mounts these precious Japanese and Italian components into the final product to exacting personal standards of precision.

Three Styles with STORIED Heritage

M wearing KH11 Wayfarer in Dark Tortoise in an Homage to Daniel Craig in James Bond 007 No Time to Die

THE KEYHOLEKH11

A silhouette seen on both rebel James Dean and anonymous authorities in the Men in Black. These are true timeless classics, distinctively recognizable and popular bordering on uniform. Our keyhole-style nose bridge gives the shape an even more elegant and sophisticated air while the rounded bottoms imply a gentle but debonair quality.

SMALL KEYHOLEKH12

Smaller and less round than our taller Keyhole frame. These frames have a more utilitarian and understated feel. Keeping the basic silhouette of iconic sunglass shapes but stripped of their distinctive flares, these are adaptable, discerning and inscrutable.

B wearing KH12s in Black with Loro Piana Peak kapel

E wearing M155A Acetate Aviators in an homage to Bruce Lee

ACETATE AVIATOR155A

Invoking a long and proud history, the use of acetate to build the aviator frame became popular in the 1970s. This retro look balances daring character with familiar tradition. The absence of shiny metallic hardware results in a more understated and elegant take on the 1936 military design.
