Black Thick Tall Oval Sunglasses with Wide Temples
A thick oval moulded in PC, formed in one piece with the bridge and cut tall rather than wide, with wide flat arms hinged at the outer corner and a solid dark tint.
A tall opening needs its own mould, so the run is short.
On the open platform, late afternoon
An open platform with the sun coming straight down the line, the board saying nothing useful, forty people standing in their own shadows. You are the one not shielding your eyes with a hand, and across the track somebody has noticed the difference.
A tall oval covers more of the socket than a standard one, so the frame reads as a shape rather than a pair of lenses, and the thick material carried beyond the lens gives the face an outline it does not have on its own. When the train comes and they come off, the second look happens on the step up. It lands differently.
You get the seat by the window without a word.
An oval cut tall, not wide
A thick oval front moulded in PC, formed in one piece with the bridge, with the material carried well beyond the lens on every side. The opening is cut tall rather than wide, so the lens covers more of the socket than a standard oval does.
The temples are wide flat arms hinged at the outer corner, and the thickness of the front spreads the weight across the bridge instead of concentrating it. It measures 55 mm across the lens and 49 mm deep, with a 22 mm bridge and 145 mm temples. The PC is specified for impact and pressure resistance.

A tall opening is its own mould
An oval cut tall rather than wide needs its own mould and its own lens, which is not a shape that gets carried continuously alongside the standard ones. Three finishes come out of a short run, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Sold direct rather than through a shop floor, so the price covers the pair and the case rather than a counter. Fourteen days to send it back.
