Black Gold Half Rim Double Bar Aviator Sunglasses
A half-rim aviator on a double-bar metal front, the rim running down the outer side of each lens and then stopping, leaving a bare cut edge below.
Four colourways on one half-rim front, each in a short run.
The lane where everybody is in a hurry
An airport set-down lane is thirty seconds of being seen by strangers while you lift a case out of a boot. Half a rim is the right amount of frame for that: the brow bar holds the line across the top and the lens finishes on a bare edge, so nothing cuts across the lower face.
The difference shows in what people assume about the trip. A metal aviator with an open lower edge belongs to somebody who has done the journey before and does not need it to look like an occasion. The worked panel behind the hinge is the detail that lands on the second look, usually across a check-in desk.
They go up into the hair at security and come straight back down.
Two bars above, a bare edge below
The front is a double bar: a straight brow bar with a second bar across the bridge, and a rim that continues down the outer side of each lens before stopping. Below that line the lens is a bare cut edge, angled in towards the nose, so the lower half of the field is left open.
Each temple carries a worked textured panel behind the hinge, and the nose pads sit on adjustable metal arms, so the height can be set rather than accepted. The lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and carry full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB, every one a gradient that is strongest at the top and clears towards the bottom.

Half a rim is harder to build
A rim that stops halfway means the lens is cut and edged to hold itself, which is slower than glazing into a closed frame and keeps the quantity down. The gold-tone fronts go first, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Add the colourway you want to the bag. Fourteen days is enough to drive in them and send them back if the fit is wrong.
