Sirmont Chocolate Gold Brown Nylon Lens

Worn by both LBJ and Malcolm X, amongst many other luminaries of the century, the Sirmont was introduced in the early 1950s and became an icon. The "Browline" style signifies a person of both practicality and learning, something to which we can all aspire.

Before Ray-Ban and before Persol, there was American Optical. Since 1833, American Optical has designed and produced iconic eyewear worn by the elites and the everyman alike, from US presidents and NASA space crews to blue-collar workers and farmers. American Optical can credibly claim to be the ‘oldest and greatest optical company in American history.’
