Self Edge, the boutique self-professed as the “ultimate denim source” online, also appreciates some of the finer accompaniments to a vintage pair of jeans. Like these slightly modified American Optical horn-rimmed sunglasses. Starting with dead stock AO frames, Self Edge first dyes, then sandblasts each frame to achieve a smooth, matte finish. Then, the original plastic lenses are replaced with a tinted, modern glass lens for maximum UV protection. The end result is a beautiful, unique, and modern update to one of AO’s most classic frames. Each frame ships with a custom Zip Stevensen leather case. Two frame colorways in very limited quantities are available — you can make your choice and pick up a pair at Self Edge.
