The
original James Dean eyewear collection was introduced in the early 80's
by the influential and underground New York label, Shady Character.
They created the collection as authentic reproductions of the glasses
Dean wore during his lifetime. Handmade in the U.S.A., these frames
have stood the test of time in quality and cool factor. They were
discontinued in the early 90's and as any aficionado of the original
James Dean eyewear collection by Shady Collection will attest, they are
extremely hard to find especially in vintage excellent condition. As
this ophthalmic frame has no lenses, they can be fitted by an optician with prescription or regular tinted lenses.
They feature "James Dean Eyewear Collection TM" on the interior of the left temple,
"Shady Character NYC Hand Made in U.S.A." on the interior of the
right temple, 7-barrel hinges, a keyhole bridge, and silver rivets on the front
and temples.
This
NOS original James Dean frame by Shady Character is quite rare and in
excellent vintage condition, no scratches, no blemish on the frame. The frames will require some adjustment as they've been in prolonged storage.
