on Apr 30 2025
Sun’s out, shades on. As the days stretch longer and holiday plans fill the calendar, the search for the perfect pair of trendy sunglasses begins. And in 2025, sunglasses aren’t just about blocking rays – they’re about making a statement, framing your travels, and elevating every look with intention. At MOSCOT, we’ve been crafting iconic eyewear for over five generations. From Orchard Street to international runways, our frames are steeped in heritage, built to last, and designed to stand out – especially when the sun’s shining. So, what sunglasses are in style this season? Whether you're chasing sunsets in Santorini or café-hopping in Tokyo, these are the trending sunglasses and popular sunglass styles leading the way. Retro Revival: Chunky Acetate is Back (and Bolder Than Ever The 2025 sunglass trends are taking a page from the past, channeling 1960s and ’70s flair with thick, bold acetate frames in oversized shapes. Think high-impact profiles, dramatic square lenses, and rich finishes like Tortoise and Olive. MOSCOT Pick: The DAHVEN SUN No need to pray for a sunny day with these iconic frames! Crafted from thick block acetate in rich tonal hues, The DAHVEN brings good fortune – and good looks – wherever you take it. A fan favorite with personality to spare. Try it in Olive Brown or Mist for a look that’s as nostalgic as it is fashion-forward. Style Tip: Let your glasses do the talking – pair bold frames with clean lines and solid colors for maximum impact. Understated Luxe: Wire Frames for Minimalist Cool Quiet luxury is still trending – and nowhere is it more apparent than in the return of wire-frame silhouettes. Sleek, sophisticated, and featherlight, these minimalist styles are the perfect travel companion for both beach getaways and city breaks. MOSCOT Pick: The ZEV SUN Inspired by the British Public Health Services “Poor Boy” Spectacles of the 1960s, The ZEV is named for Great Grandpa Sol’s cousin and neighborhood lawyer, Zeyfer Braunstein (or Zev for short), who wore this clever, dapper frame (British accent included) when he needed to put his best face forward, helping neighbors whose reputations were on the line, get off the hook. Delicate but durable, this vintage-inspired design in gold or silver is a modern classic. Pro Tip: Add a Custom Made Tint™ in Celebrity Blue or Amber for an understated twist that’s all your own. Sporty Vibes: Function Meets Fashion Performance wear continues to influence fashion, and that means sport-inspired sunglasses are trending harder than ever. In 2025, the best sunglasses are the ones that keep up with your pace – and look good doing it. MOSCOT Pick: The LEMTOSH SPORT If you’re lookin’ for a winner, here it is: The LEMTOSH SPORT. The eye-conic classic gets adapted for life-on-the-go featuring shatterproof polarized lenses, adjustable cable temples, and rubber nose pads. It’s style in motion from the half marathon to happy hour. Time to get movin’! Our most iconic frame re-engineered for movement. Shatterproof polarized lenses, cable temples, and rubber nose pads mean you can go from hiking to happy hour without missing a beat. Travel Tip: Ideal for high-glare settings like coastal drives, sunlit rooftops, or any high-energy itinerary. Tinted Lenses: Your Mood. Your Color. Looking for a color cue? One of the most exciting sunglasses trends right now is all about tinted lenses. It’s not just style – different hues enhance contrast, cut glare, and shift your vibe with one simple swap. MOSCOT Pick: The MILTZEN or The LEMTOSH with Custom Made Tints™ The round, full-vue MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s, is eponymously named for our Uncle Heshy, who inexplicably everyone called Uncle Miltzen. And it stuck. So there you go, world… The MILTZEN. The LEMTOSH stands the test of time with its iconic design and continues to uphold a legacy of its own. This rounder classic has served as the calling card for generations of creative, thoughtful, free-spirited intellectuals, artistes, and auteurs. From soft New York Rose to bold Denim Blue, Custom Made Tints™ are handmade in our NYC lab for clarity, character, and expression. Packing Tip: A single tinted frame can add variety to your travel wardrobe – so you can pack light but dress loud. Oversized Glamour: Drama for Days If your suitcase is filled with kaftans, wide-leg pants, and oversized hats, you’ll need sunglasses to match the drama. Oversized frames are the hottest sunglasses for commanding attention in all the right ways. MOSCOT Pick: The GROBER The GROBER: when being rough around the edges is actually quite smoooooth. Made with thin sheet acetate and small diamond-shaped rivets, The GROBER is anything but crude. Big, bold, and built for statement-making moments. Try it with a Custom Made Tint™ in Garnet Green or Celebrity Blue to match your mood. Style Suggestion: Pair with structured swimwear and a low bun for poolside paparazzi energy. Where to Wear: Sunglass Style by Destination Here’s how to match popular sunglass styles with your 2025 travel plans: Amalfi Coast: The MILTZEN in Flesh with New York Rose Custom Made Tints™ – romantic, vintage, dolce vita. Tokyo: The LEMTOSH SPORT in Black – urban, edgy, design-driven. Tulum: The LEMTOSH in Light Grey with Limelight Custom Made Tints™ – earthy, eclectic, effortlessly cool. Cape Town: The ZEV in Tortoise/Gold with American Grey Fade Custom Made Tints ™ – balanced, modern, adventurous. Mykonos: The GROBER in Crystal with Celebrity Blue Custom Made Tints™ – unapologetically glamorous. What Sunglasses Are In Style for 2025?

LOOK SHARP, WORK SMART: DESIGNER BLUE LIGHT GLASSES BY MOSCOT

on Apr 30 2025
Between back-to-back Zooms, inbox overflows, and the occasional meme scroll, we’re spending more time on screens than ever– and our eyes are feeling it. Enter: MOSCOT’s collection of designer blue light glasses, built for those who demand both optical performance and style at the office, on set, or wherever work happens With over 100 years of eyewear expertise and family-run legacy, MOSCOT brings craftsmanship, character, and comfort together in every pair. Whether you’re searching for men’s designer blue light glasses or designer blue light glasses women’s, we’ve got your screen defense covered – with no style sacrificed. What Is Blue Light – and Why Should You Care? Blue light is a high-energy visible (HEV) light emitted by both natural sources (like the sun) and artificial ones (think laptops, phones, and office lighting). Too much exposure – especially from screens – can contribute to: Digital eye strain (a.k.a. Computer Vision Syndrome) Dry or irritated eyes Disrupted sleep and melatonin suppression If you’re spending 8+ hours a day in front of a screen (which, let’s be honest, who isn’t?), designer blue light blocking glasses aren’t just a fashion statement – they’re a functional necessity. Why Office Professionals Need Designer Blue Light Glasses Let’s face it – those off-the-rack blue light frames aren’t doing your eyes (or your wardrobe) any favors. Here’s why MOSCOT’s designer anti blue light glasses make all the difference: Reduces Eye Fatigue Our blue light filter lenses minimize glare and block out harmful HEV light – keeping you focused and comfortable from the first call to your last coffee break. Supports Healthy Sleep Wearing designer blue light filter glasses – especially after hours – can help reduce screen-related melatonin disruption and improve your sleep routine. Elevates Your Look Whether you’re dressing for a pitch or popping into a virtual meeting, MOSCOT’s signature styles ensure you look as sharp as you see. Built to Last Handcrafted from premium acetate and real hardware, MOSCOT frames aren’t just stylish – they’re made for the long haul. Top Picks: MOSCOT Designer Blue Light Glasses Collection Whether you lean classic, contemporary, or somewhere in between, we’ve got a frame that fits your vibe – and your workday. The LEMTOSH with Blue Light Filter The one that started it all. The LEMTOSH is beloved by generations of free thinkers, artists, and office trailblazers for its round silhouette, keyhole bridge, and undeniable cool. Now available with blue light filtering lenses, it’s a smart choice for both men and women looking to protect their eyes with iconic design. Sizes: 44, 46, 49, and 52 Style: Unisex classic Also available with The CLIPTOSH for add-on blue light protection Perfect for: Creative directors, writers, and anyone who needs to look (and think) outside the box. The MILTZEN with Blue Light Filter A family classic since the 1930s. Named after Uncle Heshy (who, for reasons unknown, was called Uncle Miltzen), this round frame is a favorite for those with a subtler style. Best for smaller or narrower face shapes Timeless silhouette with modern comfort Available in rich acetate finishes Perfect for: Analysts, editors, and detail-oriented thinkers who like their eyewear like their coffee – understated and strong. The ZEV with Blue Light Filter Bold lines meet mid-century minimalism in The ZEV, a square frame that brings structure to your style. Available with The ZEV Clip-on with Blue Light Filter, this one is all about flexibility. Great for wider faces Angular, assertive silhouette Works with both business and casual looks Perfect for: Consultants, strategists, and IT pros who want to look buttoned-up without looking boring. The ARTHUR with Blue Light Filter A sleeker take on The LEMTOSH, The ARTHUR swaps out chunk for refinement. With a slimmer profile and sleeker lines, it’s ideal for professionals who want their eyewear to work as hard as they do. Slim silhouette and lightweight feel Subtle detailing for a polished look Available in classic neutrals and elevated tones Perfect for: Architects, lawyers, and modern professionals who believe clean design is king. Clip-Ons with Blue Light Filter Already rockin’ a pair of optical MOSCOTs? Our custom Clip-Ons with Blue Light Filters are available for several styles – including The LEMTOSH and ZEV – so you can easily convert your prescription frames into full-on blue light defenders. Perfect for: On-the-go pros who want protection without the hassle of switching frames. Style by Role: The Right Fit for Every Professional Here’s a quick guide to matching your MOSCOT frame with your day job: Role Recommended Frame Executive Presence LEMTOSH or ARTHUR Creative Pro MILTZEN or ZEV Tech & Developers MILTZEN for comfort during screen marathons HR & Admin ZEV for versatility What Sets MOSCOT Apart Feature MOSCOT Standard Blue Light Glasses Materials Premium acetate, real rivets Low-cost plastic Lens Quality Scratch-resistant, coated filters Varies widely Design Iconic New York style Generic or outdated Comfort Ergonomic for long wear Often unbalanced or tight Durability Made to last Disposable after a few months When you choose MOSCOT designer blue light glasses, you're not just upgrading your vision – you’re investing in a frame that’s built to last and designed to be worn proudly. Built for Screen Time: The Science Behind the Lenses MOSCOT’s blue light lenses are engineered to filter out HEV wavelengths between 400–455nm – right in the range known to trigger headaches, eye fatigue, and melatonin disruption. And we do it without messing with your color perception, so your presentations still pop (and your spreadsheets don’t look like mud). Studies show: Over 60% of screen users report eye strain after 2+ hours of exposure Blue light in the evening can delay sleep by up to 90 minutes Filtering 20-30% of blue light reduces symptoms without affecting color accuracy TL;DR? You’ll look good. You’ll feel better. Pro Tips for Office Warriors To get the most out of your designer blue light blocking glasses, pair them with these habits: Follow the 20/20/20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Adjust your display settings: Lower brightness and increase text contrast. Invest in good lighting: Balance ambient light to reduce glare. Use your MOSCOT case: If it’s not on your face, keep it safe.

TRAVELING WITH MOSCOT: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SUNGLASSES, STYLE, AND SMART PACKING

on Mar 31 2025
Travel opens your eyes to new perspectives – but it can also expose your eyewear to the unexpected. From overhead bins and road trips to surprise storms and sunny arrivals, your designer sunglasses deserve better than being tossed into a tote. Whether you're wondering can you bring sunglasses on a plane, how to pack sunglasses for travel, or even how to store sunglasses in a car, this is your go-to guide for protecting your MOSCOT frames on the move. With thoughtfully designed cases, travel-ready accessories, and frame styles built to roam, MOSCOT makes it easy to move through the world in style. Can You Bring Sunglasses on a Plane? You bet. Sunglasses are considered a standard personal item, just like your phone or headphones. TSA Tips: Keep your sunglasses in your carry-on, not checked luggage. Store them in a hard case like The MOSCOT Travel Case or Travel Case Mini to prevent crushing. Avoid placing them in the seatback pocket unprotected – turbulence or pressure from bags can bend your frames. Pro move: Wear your frames through security. Unless you’re flagged for a manual inspection, you don’t need to remove them. The Best Way to Pack Sunglasses for Travel Protecting your frames starts with packing smart – and MOSCOT’s cases are built for the job. Whether you're a minimalist or bringing multiple pairs, we’ve got the best sunglasses case for every journey. The Travel Case: Best Sunglasses Case for Travel & Organizer This durable case protects up to four pairs of MOSCOT frames in style, whether you're headed to Milan or Montauk. Fit: Oversized and standard frames Design: Quilted vegan leather with zip closure Ideal for: Extended trips or swapping styles on the go The Travel Case Mini: Best Glasses Case for Backpacking Compact, lightweight, and lined for protection, this case holds two frames without the bulk. Fit: Most optical and sunglass styles Use case: Carry-on bags, day hikes, city walks The Zip Case: Best Hard Case for Sunglasses Sleek and strong, The Zip Case is made for daily impact resistance. Why it’s great: Durable exterior + soft interior Ideal for: Commutes, quick flights, overhead bin survival The Old School Snap Case: Best Slim Glasses Case Vintage style meets space-saving protection. Collapsible when not in use. Fit: Slim and lightweight Ideal for: Minimalist travelers and small bags The Originals Case: Best Sunglasses Case for Men Understated and refined, this classic snap case is ideal for business or formal travel. Design: Vegan leather, slim profile How to Pack Sunglasses Without a Case We don’t recommend it – but if your case didn't make the cut, here's how to improvise: Wrap lenses in a microfiber cloth before tucking them into soft clothing. Avoid jeans, zippers, or shoes – anything with weight or hardware can crush them. Use a laptop sleeve or tablet pouch as a padded space. Next time? Pack The Travel Case Mini. It's slim enough for almost any bag. Do You Have to Take Your Glasses Off at Airport Security? Generally, no. Most standard optical and sunglasses can stay on through TSA and international checkpoints. When to remove them: If security asks for a closer look (especially metal-heavy frames) If they’re interfering with facial recognition technology Keep your case accessible in your personal item or jacket pocket to avoid fumbling mid-line. Sunglasses in the Airport: Travel Style Essentials Sunglasses aren’t just protective – they’re your first impression when stepping off a plane. Look sharp in terminal photos: G-15 Green or Cosmitan Brown tints add polish to any look. Rotate styles mid-flight: Switch between readers and sunnies with ease using The Travel Kit. Never leave them loose: Store them in your Travel Case Mini or Snap Case while eating, napping, or working. A good frame paired with the best sunglasses case for travel = A+ airport style. How to Store Sunglasses in the Car Sunshine is great for sightseeing – not so much for exposed eyewear. Heat and UV can damage lenses and warp acetate frames. How to store safely: Use The Travel Case or Sport Case and keep it in the glove box, center console, or door pocket. Never leave frames on the dashboard – the heat can ruin lenses fast. Use the microfiber pouch inside your case for added scratch protection during quick access. Whether it’s your road trip playlist or your sunglasses in the car, some things are better kept cool and protected. Meet the MOSCOT Travel Case Lineup Feature Travel Case Travel Case Mini Protection Hard-shell, quilted interior Compact, durable design Frame Fit Oversized & standard Slim & standard frames Ideal For Checked or carry-on luggage Purses, backpacks, briefcases Design Textured vegan leather Sleek, understated style Sport & Specialty Cases for Active Travel The Sport Case: For Life on the Move Designed for outdoor lovers, gym goers, and adventurers.

Ideal for: Hiking, cycling, or beach days Pro tip: Clip it to your daypack or seatback for quick access The Old School Snap Case: Slim & Stylish For vintage lovers and light packers. Folds flat and fits in pockets or clutches. Perfect for: City breaks, formal events, or tight travel bags The MOSCOT Travel Kit: Small But Mighty This three-in-one solution is a must for anyone traveling with more than one frame: Hard-shell lens case for structure Microfiber pouch for light storage Cleaning cloth for on-the-go smudge patrol Fits effortlessly into handbags, backpacks, or briefcases. Travel Packing Tips from the Pros Zone your luggage: Soft clothing in the middle, sunglasses cases vertically placed along the sides. Carry polarized options: Upgrade your frames via the Lens Menu to cut glare while traveling. Always face lenses upward: Whether storing or cleaning, this avoids surface scratches. Top Travel Scenarios, Solved Beach Days Use a hard case, like The Sport Case Clean lenses with anti-fog cloth before selfies in the sand Urban Getaways Pack The Snap Case in your crossbody Wear The MILTZEN SUN with American Grey Fade Custom Made Tints™ for subtle cool Road Trips Keep one pair in The Sport Case, one in the glove box Rotate between optical and sun frames using The Travel Kit Long-Haul Flights Bring two frames in The Travel Case Mini Use Sol’s Secret Sauce to keep lenses clean during transit FAQs Can you bring sunglasses on a plane? Yes – just keep them in your carry-on and use a protective case. How to pack sunglasses for travel? Use a hard case like The MOSCOT Travel Case, or layer them in soft clothing if you’re stuck without one. What’s the best sunglasses case for travel? The Travel Case is your best bet for longer trips or multiple styles. Prefer to pack light? Go with The Travel Case Mini. Which case is most compact? The Old School Snap Case folds flat and slides into any slim pocket or pouch – our top pick for the best slim glasses case. What’s best for an active lifestyle? The Sport Case. With its clip-on carabiner, hard shell, and snug interior, it’s made to move when you do. Will these fit all MOSCOT frames? Yep! Each case is thoughtfully sized to fit most MOSCOT sunglasses and eyeglasses, including seasonal favorites and icons like The LEMTOSH and MILTZEN. How to pack sunglasses without a case? Wrap in microfiber and cushion between clothing layers. Not ideal, but better than nothing. Do you have to take your glasses off at airport security? Usually no. But keep your case handy in case security asks you to remove them. How to store sunglasses in a car? Always in a case, out of direct sunlight, and lens-side up in a soft compartment or door pocket. Best MOSCOT Sunglasses for Travel The LEMTOSH FOLD Our iconic frame in a pocket-sized foldable version. Built for jet setters, honeymooners, and hotel hoppers.

HOW TO PROPERLY CLEAN YOUR MOSCOT EYEWEAR: A COMPLETE CARE GUIDE

on Mar 31 2025
MOSCOT eyewear isn’t just something you wear – it’s something you live in. Built on over 110 years of optical expertise, every frame is a product of family legacy, precision craftsmanship, and classic New York City style. Whether you’re sporting The LEMTOSH in Crystal or The MILTZEN SUN in Tortoise, proper care ensures your frames stay as fresh as the day you brought them home. If you’ve ever wondered how to clean your glasses, how to properly clean your eyeglasses, or how to best clean your lenses without damaging them – this guide is for you. Let’s break it down step-by-step, the MOSCOT way. Daily Cleaning Routine Keeping your frames in tip-top shape starts with the basics. Here’s how to clean your eyeglasses properly – no fancy tools required. Step 1: Clean Hands FirstBefore touching your lenses, wash your hands with lotion-free soap. Oils and residue from your fingers can transfer and smudge your lenses. Step 2: Rinse with Lukewarm WaterGently run your glasses under lukewarm water to remove dust and particles. Skip the hot water – it can warp acetate and damage lens coatings. Step 3: Use Mild Dish SoapApply a drop of moisturizer-free dish soap to each lens and the frame. Massage lightly with your fingers. This is one of the safest ways to clean your glasses lenses. Step 4: Rinse and Shake DryThoroughly rinse away all soap and shake off the excess water. Be gentle – you’re not mixing a martini. Step 5: Dry with a Pocket ChamoisUse one of MOSCOT’s 3-Pack Pocket Chamois cloths to gently pat dry. They’re soft, portable, and perfect for on-the-go lens care. Step 6: Final BuffFor a streak-free finish, polish with a microfiber cloth or fresh chamois. That final buff makes all the difference. How to Deep Clean Your Glasses Sometimes your eyewear needs more than just a daily wipe-down. Whether it’s been a long week or you’ve just returned from the beach, here’s how to deep clean your glasses: Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Let your frames soak for 2–3 minutes. Gently wipe clean using your Pocket Chamois or a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. This weekly reset removes grime from nose pads, hinges, and lenses – perfect if you’re learning how to clean your eyeglass lenses the right way. MOSCOT Must-Have: Sol’s Secret Sauce Passed down from generation to generation, Sol’s Secret Sauce is MOSCOT’s heritage lens cleaner, handcrafted in NYC. Shake gently. Spray 2–3 light bursts on each lens. Wipe with a Pocket Chamois or microfiber cloth. Repeat for extra sparkle. Safe for all lenses and coatings, Sol’s Secret Sauce is the go-to answer for how to best clean your glasses – without damaging your finish. Anti-Fog in a Flash New Yorkers know: nothing fogs lenses faster than going from the subway to the street. Our Anti-Fog Cloth keeps your view clear – even when temps drop. Lightly dampen your lenses or breathe on them. Wipe evenly with the Anti-Fog Cloth. Repeat as needed. Reusable and coating-safe, it’s your secret weapon for fog-free vision. A must-have in any daily eyewear care routine. On-the-Go Essentials Whether you're commuting, traveling, or running errands, here’s what to keep in your kit: Pocket Chamois: Compact and lint-free – perfect for fingerprints and smudges. Anti-Fog Cloth: Controls fog in seconds. Sol’s Secret Sauce: In a 1 oz travel-size bottle with vintage-inspired label and matching chamois. You’ll never be stuck wondering how to clean your eyeglasses on the fly. Lens Care Best Practices Always clean your hands before handling lenses Rinse, soap, rinse – your daily ritual Dry with a chamois or microfiber cloth Use Sol’s for deeper cleans Combat fog with the Anti-Fog Cloth Store in a hard case when not in use Care for the Frame Cleaning lenses is only half the battle. To keep your frame looking sharp: Avoid Harsh ChemicalsStick to Sol’s or mild soap. Alcohol and ammonia can dull your frame and damage coatings. Tighten HingesAfter cleaning, check your hinges. A mini screwdriver can save you from loose arms. Polish AcetateBuff your frame with Sol’s and a microfiber cloth for a subtle shine. Protect Color FinishesDon’t leave your frames in hot cars or direct sunlight for long periods – heat and UV rays can fade vibrant colors like Matte Red or Tortoise. Seasonal Cleaning Tips Weather changes mean new challenges for your eyewear. Spring/Summer Beach day? Rinse salt and sand off immediately. Wearing SPF? Sunscreen buildup around nose pads? Use your Pocket Chamois to clean daily. Fall/Winter Fogged up lenses? The Anti-Fog Cloth is your best friend. Dry air? Buff out micro-scratches using circular motions with Sol’s and a microfiber cloth. Scratches? Here’s What to Do If your lenses develop tiny abrasions, don’t panic. Assess the scratch – Is it shallow or deep? Polish with Sol’s – Buff in small circles for 30 seconds. Rinse & Dry – Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with your Pocket Chamois. For deeper scratches, visit your optician for a professional fix. Smart Storage Always fold and place your frames in a hard-shell case. Never toss them into a bag unprotected. Keep them away from heat – your eyewear doesn’t like to sweat. Traveling? Toss a mini microfiber pouch and travel-sized Sol’s inside your case for touch-ups on the go. Caring for Lens Coatings Some MOSCOT styles come with specialty coatings like anti-reflective or blue-light filters. Avoid alcohol-based wipes. Don’t use paper towels or tissues. Reapply anti-fog coating as needed. Consider recoating lenses every 18–24 months to preserve performance. Visit a Pro (Once a Year!) Even with perfect at-home care, an annual tune-up keeps things in top form. Ultrasonic cleaning for deep grime removal. Frame adjustments for optimal comfort. Lens checks to ensure clarity and coating integrity. Why It All Matters Learning how to clean your glasses properly isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about protecting your vision, your investment, and your MOSCOTs. These aren’t disposable fashion accessories. They’re heritage eyewear built to last. And with tools like the Anti-Fog Cloth, Sol’s Secret Sauce, and our Pocket Chamois, knowing how to clean your eyeglasses lens or how to deep clean your glasses becomes second nature. Final Thoughts Your eyewear should reflect your personal style and your standards. With a little daily TLC, your MOSCOT frames will continue to turn heads for years to come. Pro tip: If it’s not on your face, keep it in the case. Explore MOSCOT’s full collection of eyewear care tools and keep your frames in tip-top shape.

HOW TO CLEAN POLARIZED LENSES (THE MOSCOT WAY)

on Mar 31 2025
Your MOSCOTs aren’t just sunglasses – they’re a legacy worn on your face. Built with over 110 years of craftsmanship, our polarized sunglasses combine timeless design with glare-free performance. But even the best frames need the right care. Whether you’re wondering how to clean polarized sunglasses or how to fix scratches on polarized lenses, we’ve got you covered. From daily maintenance to pro tips on how to deep clean your glasses, here’s everything you need to know to keep your polarized shades sharp, stylish, and shmutz-free. What Makes Polarized Sunglasses Different? Polarized lenses contain a special filter that cuts glare from reflective surfaces like water, glass, and pavement. This makes them essential for everything from driving and fishing to city walks and beach lounging. At MOSCOT, our polarized sunglasses – like the fan-favorite LEMTOSH SUN-POLARIZED – pair that optical performance with heritage design and all-day comfort. Benefits of polarized sunglasses include: Glare Reduction: No more squinting through sun glare on your morning commute. Enhanced Clarity: Sharper contrast and improved depth perception. UV Protection: 100% UVA/UVB shielding. Eye Comfort: Less eye strain = more time enjoying the view. Style You Can See: Performance meets polish with MOSCOT’s signature frames. How to Clean Your Polarized Sunglasses (Step-by-Step) Let’s talk about the best way to clean polarized sunglasses without ruining the lenses. Follow these steps for a safe and effective clean – no fog, no scratches, no funny business. Step 1: Start with Clean Hands Wash with lotion-free soap and dry with a lint-free towel. Your hands touch your lenses more than you think. Step 2: Rinse with Lukewarm Water A quick rinse helps loosen dust and debris. Never use hot water – it can warp acetate and damage coatings. Step 3: Add Mild Soap Apply a drop of dish soap (no moisturizers!) to each lens and gently massage with your fingertips. This is one of the safest ways to clean your eyeglass lenses. Step 4: Rinse & Shake Dry Rinse thoroughly. Shake gently to remove excess water – don’t whip it like a martini. Step 5: Dry with a Pocket Chamois Grab your trusty MOSCOT Pocket Chamois and pat dry. Designed for lenses, not your car dashboard. Step 6: Final Polish Use a clean microfiber cloth for a final buff. Streaks, be gone. Still wondering how to clean sunglasses polarized without damage? This method works every time – no fancy gadgets needed. What Not to Do When figuring out how to clean your eyeglasses properly, knowing what to avoid is half the battle: Skip the paper towels and napkins (hello, micro-scratches). No harsh chemicals – alcohol, acetone, and ammonia are a hard no. Don’t clean lenses dry – always rinse first. Never leave sunglasses in hot cars or on sunny dashboards. How to Fix Scratched Polarized Lenses So, how do you fix scratched polarized lenses? Short answer: don’t DIY it. Forget the toothpaste and baking soda hacks – they often make things worse. If you’re wondering how to get scratches out of polarized sunglasses, here’s the safest route: Light smudges? Use a microfiber cloth and Sol’s Secret Sauce. Deeper scratches? Contact our team or swing by a MOSCOT Shop for lens replacement options. We’re happy to walk you through how to fix scratches on polarized sunglasses without risking your investment. Can You Remove Polarized Film from Sunglasses? Nope – and you shouldn’t try. We get asked how to remove polarized film from sunglasses, especially when lenses look cloudy or scratched. That film is bonded to the lens itself. Attempting removal can ruin the lens and compromise UV protection. If the film is peeling or damaged, it’s time for a lens replacement – not a DIY job. How to Deep Clean Your Sunglasses For a deeper clean after travel or heavy use: Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Submerge your frames for a few minutes. Gently scrub with your fingers or a soft cloth. Rinse and dry with your Pocket Chamois. Finish with Sol’s Secret Sauce and a microfiber buff. If you’re serious about how to deep clean your glasses, this is the method that gets them squeaky clean without stripping away coatings. Custom Polarized Lenses, Your Way Prefer a custom tint? MOSCOT’s Lens Menu lets you upgrade your favorite frames with polarized lenses in shades like G-15, Cosmitan Brown, or Grey. Whether it’s The LEMTOSH or The MILTZEN, it’s easy to create sunglasses as unique as you are. Just choose your frame, select your lens tint, and check the box for polarized – done. Fan Favorite: The LEMTOSH SUN-POLARIZED If you’re looking for the perfect blend of performance and style, The LEMTOSH SUN-POLARIZED is your go-to. Featuring: Our signature silhouette Polarized lens options Handmade acetate construction Custom tints and sizing It’s what happens when optical expertise meets New York cool. Don’t Forget the Tools of the Trade To keep your polarized lenses in top shape, make sure you’ve got the right gear: Sol’s Secret Sauce: Gentle, effective, and safe for polarized coatings. Pocket Chamois: For on-the-go cleaning. Anti-Fog Cloth: Because weather happens. When you're learning how to properly clean your eyeglasses, these tools are your new best friends. Final Tips for Long-Term Care Here’s how to keep your polarized sunglasses pristine: Clean regularly Avoid chemicals Store in a hard case Don’t leave them in hot cars Use Sol’s Secret Sauce and microfiber cloths Replace lenses if damage is visible From how to deep clean your glasses to how to best clean your glasses while traveling, good habits go a long way. Wrap It Up: Protect Your Vision, Preserve Your Style At MOSCOT, we believe eyewear should last – through sunny strolls, sudden rain, and everything in between. When you invest in polarized sunglasses, you’re investing in clarity, craftsmanship, and character. Whether you’re learning how to clean your eyeglass lenses, how to fix scratched polarized lenses, or simply looking for the best way to clean polarized sunglasses, one thing’s for sure: with a little care, your MOSCOTs will last a lifetime.

Five generations later, we still do things the old-school way: by prioritizing fit, function, and craftsmanship. The right pair of sunglasses isn’t just about looking good – it’s about feeling good. A proper fit enhances comfort, prevents slippage, and ensures your frames complement your face shape without pinching or sliding down your nose. That’s why MOSCOT offers multiple size options, adjustable features, and expert craftsmanship to help you find the perfect pair. How to Identify a Round Face Shape Before selecting the best sunglasses for round face women or sunglasses for round face men, it’s important to determine if you have a round face shape. Key Features of a Round Face: Soft, curved jawline with no sharp angles Cheekbones are the widest part of the face Face width and length are nearly equal Rounded chin with little definition If this sounds like you, then you’re in the right place! Now, let’s talk sunglasses. Best Sunglass Shape for Round Faces Since round faces have naturally soft features, the best way to create balance is by introducing angular or structured frames. Sharp lines, bold edges, and oversized silhouettes contrast with the face’s roundness, adding definition and style. Angular & Geometric Sunglasses: Frames with sharp lines and bold angles help break up the roundness of your face. MOSCOT’s square, rectangular, and geometric sunglasses add just the right amount of edge. CatEye Sunglasses: Cat-eye frames aren’t just for the silver screen – women’s cat-eye sunglasses (and yes, even men’s cat-eye sunglasses) create a flattering, lifted effect. Think Stanley Tucci… but with a MOSCOT twist! Aviator Sunglasses: Aviators are a classic choice, but the best aviators for round faces feature angular or squared lenses rather than a teardrop shape. Check out MOSCOT’s aviator sunglasses for men and women for the perfect structured fit. Oversized Sunglasses: Want to make a statement? Oversized sunglasses create contrast, elongating your features. Opt for square or rectangular oversized frames in “Wide” or “Extra-Wide” sizes for a bold look that flatters round faces. Best Sunglasses for Women with Round Faces If you're looking for the best sunglasses for round face women, MOSCOT has an expertly crafted selection to enhance your natural features. The RIZIK SUN: This geometric frame features a strong, straight brow line for instant definition – no roundness here! The HAZEN SUN: The perfect cat-eye sunglasses for round face females, featuring a slightly upswept shape that accentuates cheekbones. The DAHVEN SUN: A square frame with bold block acetate, balancing soft curves with striking structure. The SHTARKER SUN: A geometric frame with crisp angles, adding sharp definition to round features. The GROBER SUN: A square oversized frame, proving that bigger is better when it comes to oversized sunglasses for round face women. Best Sunglasses for Men with Round Faces For sunglasses for round face men, structure is key. These frames deliver the definition and style you need. The DOLT SUN: A geometric frame with a strong rectangular design for a chiseled look. The VILDA SUN: A men’s cat-eye sunglasses pick – because Stanley Tucci would approve. The LEMTOSH SUN: Our CLASSICONIC™ round-meets-square frame, perfectly balancing the curves of a round face. The BJORN SUN: A square aviator sunglasses style that adds an edge to the traditional pilot look. The SHEISTER SUN: A bold oversized frame that makes a statement without overwhelming your features. How to Choose the Right Sunglasses for Your Round Face We’ve spent over a century perfecting the art of frame fit, and we know one size does not fit all. That’s why MOSCOT offers multiple size options and custom adjustments to ensure your frames feel as good as they look. Frame Size: Skip small, round frames and opt for medium to large sizes that contrast with your face shape. Aim for frames that extend just slight past your cheekbones. Lens Color & Material: From gradient lenses that add depth to polarized lenses that reduce glare, MOSCOT’s lens options let you customize your look. Want something extra? Custom Made Tints™, handmade and dip-dyed in NYC, add a unique color touch. Bridge Fit: A well-fitting bridge ensures comfort and prevents slipping. Many MOSCOT frames can be customized with Custom Nose Pads for a perfect fit. Temple Length: If your sunglasses leave red marks on your temples, they may be too tight. Try a wider frame for a better fit. Craftsmanship: MOSCOT’s designer sunglasses are designed by Zack Moscot, the family’s 5th Generation and Chief Design Officer, staying true to the brand’s downtown DNA. If you’re unsure about fit, visit a MOSCOT Shop or book a virtual consultation with a frame specialist! Final Thoughts: Elevate Your Look with the Best Sunglasses for Round Faces Finding the best sunglasses for round faces doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re after women’s sunglasses with a cat-eye flair or sunglasses for round faces male that add definition, the right frames can completely transform your look.

LUXURY VINTAGE EYEGLASS FRAMES FOR WOMEN

on Mar 11 2025
From subtle round frames to bold cat-eyes, vintage eyeglasses have long been a cornerstone of personal style. And when it comes to women’s eyewear, the best frames don’t just help you see – they help you be seen. At MOSCOT, we’ve been designing vintage glasses frames for over 110 years. Our frames carry the stories of a century – handcrafted with care, built to last, and worn by generations who appreciate timeless design with a twist of downtown edge. In this guide, we’ll take a stroll through the decades, exploring vintage women’s glasses that continue to define – and defy – fashion trends. So, whether you’re drawn to retro curves, minimalist lines, or bold shapes that turn heads, we’ve got the vintage eyeglass frames to match your mood and your moment. 1910s: The Beginning of a Legacy Eyewear was built for function – but at MOSCOT, even early frames had character. The HAMISH: This P-3 style frame nods to early 20th-century design with comfort-driven cable temples and a perfectly balanced round shape. The HAMISH delivers vintage style eyeglasses with purpose – a refined look for women who love structure and simplicity. Just like Grandma Sylvia’s living room, which was a delightful home-base for The Moscot family, The HAMISH emanates the same cozy embrace. Give this frame a nose to straddle and ears to grip with authentic cable temples that love to hug. 1920s: Round Frames & Jazz Age Flair The Roaring Twenties embraced glitz, glamour, and a touch of rebellion. The TUCHUS: A throwback with elegance to spare, The TUCHUS brings high-bridged, round frames into the now. These women’s vintage eyeglasses are sleek, stylish, and unapologetically retro – just like the decade that inspired them. Looking for a little round frame that quietly shouts sophisticated? The TUCHUS draws inspiration from The MILTZEN and could even be called a mini-GLICK yet its thick, high bridge and smaller eye size gives this frame just enough artistic expression to leave all others behind. (Ha!) 1930s: Simplicity Meets Strength The Great Depression called for quiet resilience – and a style to match. The MILTZEN: A MOSCOT mainstay named after Uncle Heshy, The MILTZEN is all about understated vintage sophistication. Rounded and reliable, these vintage eyeglass frames are proof that elegance doesn’t need to shout. The round, full-vue MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s, is eponymously named for our uncle Heshy, who inexplicably everyone called Uncle Miltzen. And it stuck. So there you go, world… The MILTZEN. 1940s: Function with a Feminine Twist War-era fashion leaned practical – but never dull. The VILDA: With its sleek cat-eye silhouette, The VILDA blends 1940s durability with feminine edge. These retro women’s glasses reflect strength, resilience, and subtle glamour. Pure FDR style that enters the room before you do. Worn by strong, industrial, bold individuals who know how to keep it cool. 1950s: The Rise of the Icon Post-war optimism brought bold shapes and polished details. The LEMTOSH: Our best-selling frame for over 70 years, The LEMTOSH is a mid-century masterpiece. A bold browline, rounded lenses, and signature keyhole bridge make this one of the most beloved vintage eyeglasses for women (and men). Elegant, cool, and endlessly wearable. The LEMTOSH stands the test of time with its iconic design and continues to uphold a legacy of its own. This rounder classic has served as the calling card for generations of creative, thoughtful, free-spirited intellectuals, artistes, and auteurs. 1960s: Rebellion in Style Designers pushed boundaries. So did eyewear. The NEBB: Chunky, expressive, and full of ‘60s soul, The NEBB makes no apologies. These retro women’s glasses are bold, rectangular, and built for the spotlight. A must for women who want their eyewear to be as fearless as they are. The NEBB is chunky, rectangular, raw, aggressive, and in your face – just like a real New Yorker (except for the chunky and rectangular part). 1970s: Statement Frames & Counterculture Cool The decade of self-expression brought oversized everything. The SHTARKER: With its oversized aviator shape and solid construction, The SHTARKER captures the bold spirit of the ‘70s. These vintage glasses for women make a strong statement – because subtlety isn’t always the point. No matter what type of empire you sit atop of, you’ll project an air of strength that says you’re not to be trifled with… even if you’re just leader of the pack. 1980s: Power Dressing, Big Accessories It was the era of confidence, ambition – and big frames to match. The SHEISTER: Teardrop lenses and a wrap-around design give The SHEISTER its signature 1980s appeal. These vintage style eyeglasses for women are for anyone leaning into a strong, structured silhouette with attitude. Throw on some shade without looking too shady in The SHEISTER. A family masterpiece, say saluti to five generations of eyewear expertise. Father, Son, House of MOSCOT. 1990s: Effortless, Minimal, Cool The ‘90s brought back balance – think slip dresses, denim, and sleek accessories. The MOYEL: Clean wire rims and a minimalist silhouette make The MOYEL the embodiment of 1990s simplicity. These minimalist vintage eyeglasses offer a chill, low-profile style for women who know that less is often more. A cut above the rest, The MOYEL takes heritage craft into the 21st century. Pair the vintage-esque frame with colorful Custom Made Tints™ and you’ll have a striking style to last generations. 2000s: A Fusion of Past and Future The early 2000s blended Y2K experimentation with vintage nods. The ZEV: A refined take on a classic shape, The ZEV pairs Italian acetate with a P-3 silhouette for a polished look that channels both nostalgia and innovation. These vintage glasses frames for women are equal parts tradition and trend. Inspired by the British Public Health Service “Poor Boy” Spectacles of the 1960s, The ZEV is named for GREAT Grandpa Sol’s cousin and neighborhood lawyer, Zeyfer Braunstein (or Zev for short), who wore this clever, dapper frame (British accent included) when he needed to put his best face forward, helping neighbors whose reputations were on the line, get off the hook. 2010s: Heritage, Remixed Social media brought a renewed love for archival design – with a twist. The ARTHUR: Built on the bones of The LEMTOSH, The ARTHUR is a modern remix with a thinner profile and contemporary angles. These women’s vintage eyeglasses are a love letter to the past – tailored for today. This frame is based on The LEMTOSH silhouette, but with a slimmed-down look, a thinner gauge, and a keyhole bridge that’s just a bit more business. They say not to mix business with pleasure, but we couldn’t help ourselves. 2020s: Bold, Inclusive, and Individual Today’s eyewear is about owning your look – without apology. The DAHVEN: With thick block acetate and rich tonal hues, The DAHVEN is bold, expressive, and unapologetically modern. These vintage women’s glasses reflect the energy of the moment and celebrate individuality in every detail. No need to pray for a sunny day with these iconic frames! Crafted from thick block acetate in rich tonal hues, The DAHVEN brings good fortune – and good looks – wherever you take it. Why MOSCOT? Because Heritage Never Goes Out of Style Real rivets and sturdy hardware. Premium acetate and metal materials. Classic silhouettes in contemporary colors. Designed in NYC, worn everywhere. Final Thoughts: Vintage Glasses for Women That Tell Your Story Whether you're into oversized cat-eyes, sleek wireframes, or chunky retro shapes, vintage eyeglass frames offer a world of style steeped in substance. Women’s vintage glasses aren’t about looking back – they’re about carrying legacy forward. So whether you’re wearing The MILTZEN to a gallery opening or The DAHVEN on your morning commute, know this: when you wear MOSCOT, you wear history – with a whole lot of style.

on Mar 11 2025
Finding the best glasses for a round face isn’t just about style – it’s about balance, proportion, and a fit that enhances your natural features. Whether you're searching for glasses for round face female wearers or shades for round face enthusiasts, choosing the right frames can bring structure and sophistication to your look. At MOSCOT, we know a thing or two about timeless eyewear – we’ve been crafting high-quality frames for over 100 years, blending classic New York style with expert craftsmanship. If you're wondering what glasses shape for round face wearers works best, we’re here to break it down and help you find the perfect pair. What Shape of Glasses for a Round Face Works Best? A round face is characterized by soft curves, full cheeks, and equal width and length – meaning structure is key when selecting frames. The best glasses for round faces should introduce angles, definition, and contrast to balance out your features. Frame Shapes to Look For: Rectangular Frames: Straight edges elongate the face, adding structure. Square Frames: Bold and confident, they contrast soft facial features. Cat-Eye Frames: Lift the face and highlight cheekbones. Geometric Frames: Unique angles break up roundness for a modern look. By choosing a frame that sharpens and enhances your features, you can create a more sculpted, sophisticated appearance – all while staying true to your personal style. Best Glasses for Round Faces: MOSCOT’s Top Picks If you're searching for the best glasses for round faces, MOSCOT offers a lineup of classic, handcrafted frames designed for a perfect fit and effortless style. The ARTHUR A slimmer take on the iconic LEMTOSH, The ARTHUR brings subtle structure with its angular features and generous lens height. The bold yet balanced design makes it an excellent choice for those looking to add definition to a round face while maintaining a refined aesthetic. This frame is based on The LEMTOSH silhouette, but with a slimmed down look, a thinner gauge, and a key hole bridge that’s just a bit more business. They say not to mix business with pleasure, but we couldn’t help ourselves. The DAHVEN A modern square frame with vintage-inspired charm, The DAHVEN is one of the best shades for round face wearers looking for a bold, structured silhouette. The clean lines and thick acetate construction help elongate the face, making it an excellent choice for both prescription glasses and sunglasses. No need to pray for a sunny day with these iconic frames! Crafted from thick block acetate in rich tonal hues, The DAHVEN brings good fortune – and good looks – wherever you take it.

Made from full-bodied acetate in complex colorways, this succulent spectacle will be more than just a feast for your eyes, but a treat for those sneaking a peek as well. A toast to The RIZIK. The NEBB For those who prefer a bold statement, The NEBB is a structured rectangular frame that demands attention. The chunky acetate and pronounced browline create strong contrast against soft facial features, making it ideal for round face shapes looking for a dramatic, high-fashion look. The NEBB is chunky, rectangular, raw, aggressive, and in your face – just like a real New Yorker (except for the chunky and rectangular part). The FRITZ A sleek and modern update to the classic rectangular frame, The FRITZ features sharp edges and a defined browline, helping to create a more chiseled appearance. Its structured design makes it a top contender for the best glasses for a round face male wearers looking for a sophisticated touch. Sol’s lawyer, Fritz, was an eccentric guy, built with many layers. While he was unyielding and tough when dispensing legal advice, he didn’t have a bad side. Designed with an air of strength to make a bold statement, FRITZ is the frame, no matter how you look at it. What About Cat-Eye Glasses for Round Face Female Wearers? Cat-eye frames are one of the best glasses for round face female wearers because they create an instant lifting effect. The upswept angles draw attention upward, highlighting the cheekbones and adding a refined, feminine touch. The HAZEN A square cat-eye frame that provides contrast and structure.

Worn by strong, industrial, bold individuals who know how to keep it cool. Cat-eye glasses are perfect for adding a touch of vintage elegance while enhancing the natural curves of a round face. How to Find the Best Fit for Your Round Face Selecting the best glasses for a round face isn’t just about shape – it’s also about comfort, proportions, and proper fit. Key Fit Considerations: Bridge Fit: Frames should sit comfortably without slipping. MOSCOT’s Custom Nose Pads offer personalized adjustability. Temple Length: Too tight? Try a wider frame to avoid pressure on your temples. Frame Width: Look for frames that extend just beyond your cheekbones for the most flattering proportions.

Whether you’re logging miles on the pavement, hitting the trail, or squeezing in a quick outdoor workout, one thing’s for sure – your eyewear should work as hard as you do. That’s where MOSCOT’s LEMTOSH SPORT comes in: performance-ready designer sunglasses built for movement, durability, and serious style. From the best running sunglasses to versatile frames for everyday athletes, this is your guide to high-performance eyewear that doesn’t sacrifice the signature MOSCOT look. Why You Need Performance Sunglasses – Style Optional, Protection Essential Standard fashion sunnies? Great for brunch. Not so much for mile five of your long run or your daily commute on two wheels. The best sunglasses for sports don’t just elevate your look – they elevate your experience. The Benefits of the Best Sports Sunglasses UV Protection: Shields eyes from harmful rays that can lead to long-term damage. Glare reduction: Especially crucial for road runners and cyclist Impact Resistance: Blocks wind, bugs, dust, and debris. Secure Fit: Stays put – no bounce, no slip. Fog Sweat Resistance: Keeps your vision clear through every rep. In short, the best active sunglasses don’t just help you look good – they help you feel and perform better. Meet The LEMTOSH SPORT: Classic MOSCOT Design, Now in Motion The LEMTOSH you know and love – with some serious upgrades. The LEMTOSH SPORT reimagines our most iconic frame with features made for movement. It’s everything you’d expect from MOSCOT… just sweatproof, grippier, and ready to go. Why It Works Rubber Nose Pads + Cable Temples: Stay-put fit for all-day wear. Impact-Resistant Nylon Lenses: Durable and lightweight with crystal-clear optics. 100% UVA/UVB Protection: For high sun exposure in any sport or activity.

The MOSCOT SPORT CASE – a durable, zip-close case made from vegan leather with a felt-lined interior and carabiner for clipping to your gym bag or backpack. Bonus: The LEMTOSH SPORT looks nothing like your average “performance shades.” Which is exactly the point. Best Running Sunglasses? MOSCOT’s Got You Covered. For runners, the best gear disappears once you hit your stride. The LEMTOSH SPORT was designed with just that in mind. Secure Grip: Adjustable rubber nose pads and cable temples keep your frames locked in – even when the sweat hits. Lightweight Comfort: No pinching, no bouncing, no shifting. Gender-Inclusive Fit: Works equally well as running sunglasses women love and the best running sunglasses for men. Hit your pace without having to push your glasses back up your nose – now that’s performance. The Best Sport Sunglasses for Cyclists Who Ride in Style Not every cyclist wants a full-wrap frame. Some want performance that doesn’t scream “training wheels.” Sleek Coverage: The LEMTOSH SPORT fits snugly, with enough peripheral visibility to feel natural on the bike.

CLASSIC MEN’S SUNGLASSES THAT STAND THE TEST OF TIME

on Mar 11 2025
When it comes to eyewear, classic men’s sunglasses do more than block the sun – they make a statement. With iconic silhouettes, enduring appeal, and a fit that feels just right, classic sunglasses styles offer the kind of timeless confidence that never goes out of fashion. At MOSCOT, we’ve been handcrafting men’s classic sunglasses for over 110 years. From bold aviators to wire-rimmed minimalists, each frame we make carries a piece of New York history – and a whole lot of style. Whether you’re channeling a 1950s movie star or just want a pair of designer sunglasses that’ll still look good ten years from now, this guide is for you. Let’s take a walk through the decades and spotlight the most iconic sunglasses from the MOSCOT archives that continue to define cool, generation after generation. 1910s: The Start of Something Spectacular The HAMISH SUN This P-3 style frame with cable temples nods to our early days on Orchard Street—simple, strong, and built to last. THE HAMISH brings turn-of-the-century style into the now, offering classic sunglasses for men who value a snug fit and a refined look. Just like Grandma Sylvia’s living room, which was a delightful home-base for The Moscot family, The HAMISH emanates the same cozy embrace. Give this frame a nose to straddle and ears to grip with authentic cable temples that love to hug. 1920s: Round Frames & Modern Rebels The ZOLMAN SUN It doesn't get any more cool and classic than this - the perfectly round ZOLMAN is great Grandpa Sol's frame. Yes, that great Grandpa Sol. As we said, cool and classic. Fun fact: Zolman was Sol's name on his birth certificate. 1930s: Understated Sophistication The MILTZEN SUN Named after Uncle Heshy Moscot, The MILTZEN debuted in the '30s and hasn’t looked back since. With its rounded shape and subtle silhouette, this is one of our most enduring classic sunglasses styles. It’s quiet. It’s confident. It’s as timeless as it gets. The round, full-vue MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s, is eponymously named for our uncle Heshy, who inexplicably everyone called Uncle Miltzen. And it stuck. So there you go, world… The MILTZEN. 1940s: Style Meets Strength The VILDA SUN Sleek with just a hint of attitude, The VILDA puts a masculine spin on the cat-eye shape. It’s sharp, structured, and straight from the WWII era, where form and function marched in step. These classic men's sunglasses bring retro edge to modern wardrobes. Pure FDR style that enters the room before you do. Worn by strong, industrial, bold individuals who know how to keep it cool. 1950s: The Birth of an Icon The LEMTOSH SUN Our signature frame – and arguably one of the most iconic sunglasses in the world. The LEMTOSH has been a MOSCOT staple for over 70 years, worn by artists, thinkers, and rebels alike. With its rounded lenses, keyhole bridge, and bold browline, this is the frame that put us on the map. The LEMTOSH stands the test of time with its iconic design and continues to uphold a legacy of its own. This rounder classic has served as the calling card for generations of creative, thoughtful, free-spirited intellectuals, artistes, and auteurs. 1960s: Chunky, Funky, and Fearless The NEBB SUN Thicker, bolder, and built for those who want to be seen, The NEBB channels the rebellious spirit of the ‘60s. These iconic sunglasses men's styles are perfect for guys who want to make a statement – without saying a word. The NEBB is chunky, rectangular, raw, aggressive, and in your face – just like a real New Yorker (except for the chunky and rectangular part). 1970s: Oversized & Outspoken The SHTARKER SUN The ‘70s were all about bigger, bolder choices – and The SHTARKER fits right in. With its oversized aviator-inspired shape, this frame delivers maximum style and presence. These classic men's sunglasses styles are perfect for men who want their frames to speak first. No matter what type of empire you sit atop of, you’ll project an air of strength that says you’re not to be trifled with… even if you’re just leader of the pack. 1980s: Power in Every Detail The SHEISTER SUN Wrap-around teardrop lenses and a no-nonsense silhouette make The SHEISTER the ultimate power move. Born in the boardroom, ready for the street, these iconic men's sunglasses are for those who want bold style with serious substance. Throw on some shade without looking too shady in The SHEISTER. A family masterpiece, say saluti to five generations of eyewear expertise. Father, Son, House of MOSCOT. 1990s: Less is More The MOYEL SUN The ‘90s made minimalism cool again, and The MOYEL followed suit. With wire-thin frames and a barely-there look, these classic sunglasses men styles are for the understated guy who knows that subtlety speaks volumes. A cut above the rest, The MOYEL takes heritage craft into the 21st century. Pair the vintage-esque frame with colorful Custom Made Tints™ and you’ll have a striking style to last generations. 2000s: Old-School Meets Innovation The ZEV SUN Crafted from metal and Italian acetate, The ZEV fuses vintage inspiration with modern materials. A P-3 shape with sleek lines and MOSCOT heritage baked in, this frame is a nod to the past with an eye toward the future. Inspired by the British Public Health Service “Poor Boy” Spectacles of the 1960s, The ZEV is named for GREAT Grandpa Sol’s cousin and neighborhood lawyer, Zeyfer Braunstein (or Zev for short), who wore this clever, dapper frame (British accent included) when he needed to put his best face forward, helping neighbors whose reputations were on the line, get off the hook. 2010s: Heritage, Remixed The ARTHUR SUN Built on the bones of The LEMTOSH, but slimmed down for a more modern silhouette, The ARTHUR keeps all the character of the original while refining the fit. These men’s classic sunglasses are for those who want a modern frame with vintage roots. This frame is based on The LEMTOSH silhouette, but with a slimmed down look, a thinner gauge, and a key hole bridge that’s just a bit more business. They say not to mix business with pleasure, but we couldn’t help ourselves. 2020s: Loud, Proud, and Personal The DAHVEN SUN With bold block acetate and tonal hues, The DAHVEN is unapologetically confident. This is classic men's sunglasses design turned up a notch – ideal for guys who want their frames to do more than just protect their eyes. No need to pray for a sunny day with these iconic frames!
