The best thing about the 80's...

Say what you will about the 80's, but there's no denying the decade's influence on current style.  High waisted pants? Check.  Leggings?  Look around you.  Neon colored everything?  Oh yeah!

Enter KAOS Eyewear.  Fresh from the super hip Area98 labs, this new line hits you with a truck full of color and youthful style.  We just unpacked the first batch, so grab an eyeful below and stop in to see the rest of the line. 

For a little more info, or just to kill some time, check out this promo video from Area98

What are you made of?

If you're anything like the new frames from OVVO, you're made out of exotic wood and carbon fiber, with a healthy dose of titanium thrown in for good measure.  For those looking for something more than just a little different, these are definitely worth a look.

It's all about materials

What happens when you take three of my favorite materials; carbon fiber, wood, and titanium, and mash them together?  Beautiful things, that's what.  There's an awesome new line of frames coming from OVVO, and we'd like you to check them out in style.  Check out the flyer below for details!

Look Sharp

Oakley is reaching way back to their roots with a very limited run they've dubbed the Heritage Collection.  Essentially it's a rerelease of three of their original models to commemorate Oakley's 30th birthday.  Unlike other Oakley limited editions, these were only distributed to 250 stores across the country, and we are lucky to be among those chosen.

Just in time for the holidays

December has been a busy month here at the shop.  We've been focusing a lot on which brands we carry, and the displays out front have been restocked with some great new frames.  One brand that I'm most excited about is Persol.  They're a classic brand with iconic designs and a rich history in the eyewear world.  Come by and see these and other frames, maybe they're just the gift you've been looking for.

So that's how they do it...

  Here's a little peek into what I do on a daily basis.  It's just a short time-lapse video showing how a lens is ground from a blank into it's final shape.  In this case, this lens goes into a string mount frame, which is why you'll see that center channel cut.
