Van-glorious..
I think it was sometime in early 2012 that I first
heard about Warby Parker. It’s not like my vision is so impaired, but I always
dug wearing glasses, even though my prescription probably doesn’t really call
for it. So I was in serious need of new glasses, just to sport, not to see. I
did the five-day try-on thing with them, bought a pair and never stopped trying
their glasses on. I’ve since ordered the Winston and Percy models (don’t bite).
In all honesty, I just ordered another five try-ons last week, which should be
getting to me in the mail any day now. I’m definitely a fan..
The current interest in sartorial flair of the past has hit full
steam recently. Warby Parker
and their stellar line of eyewear are contributing to the movement with the
debut of their 1922 collection. Named after the year that inspired it, the 1922
collection epitomizes American culture in the roaring twenties.
It was the year James Joyce published Ulysses, T.S. Eliot
published The Wasteland, and Eugene O’Neill won a Pulitzer Prize. It was the
year Louis Armstrong moved to Chicago, and the year in which F. Scott
Fitzgerald set The Great Gatsby.
The collection’s three frames—the Duke, Porter, and Joplin—
feature custom acetate and lightweight stainless steel. Porter and Joplin are
also available as sunglasses. Available now at Warby Parker for $95 USD.
