Black Double Bridge Metal Aviator Sunglasses
A double-bridge teardrop aviator built in thin metal wire, with a brow bar running straight across both lenses and a woven brick-link section along each temple.
Five finishes on one soldered wire front, held in short runs.
On the quay, where light comes off the water
Light off a harbour reaches the face twice, once from the sky and once off the surface, and a teardrop lens with a brow bar across it is the shape built for exactly that. On a quay you are seen in profile more than head on, which is where thin wire and two bars read cleanest.
Metal behaves differently from acetate on a face: it draws lines rather than blocks, so the features stay and the frame organises them. The brick-link section on the temple is the part people notice late, usually as you turn to look down the water. What the second look concludes is that the frame came out of a decision, not out of a drawer.
Hooked into a shirt collar, thin wire still reads from a distance.
Thin wire, two bars, soldered
The front is built in thin metal wire as a double bridge: a brow bar running straight across both lenses and a second bar at the bridge, with the nose pads on adjustable arms between them. It is soldered rather than moulded, which is where the line comes from.
Each temple carries a woven brick-link section from the hinge before finishing in a moulded tip, so the arm has texture where your fingers meet it. The lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB, in three treatments: a neutral grey that keeps colours true, a warm brown that lifts contrast in flat light, and a blue mirror.

Soldered joints keep numbers low
A double-bridge wire front is soldered at every joint, and that work sets the ceiling on how many are made. Sold direct with no retail margin on top, which is what keeps a soldered frame and a polarised lens at this price, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
