MOSCOT teams up with fellow New York City native apparel and lifestyle brand, Saturdays NYC, for an exclusive summer sunglass style. Inspired by the shared deep-rooted New York City heritage and active urban lifestyle, The MOSCOT x Saturdays NYC collaboration features one signature sunglass model called The TOMO. “‘TOMO’, which means ‘friend’ in Japanese, is a name that perfectly reflects our friendship as brands, and of our patrons that appreciate what MOSCOT & Saturdays offers,” shares Chief Design Officer and 5th Generation, Zack Moscot. He adds, “the partnership was sparked as a celebration of New York centric brands representing active city culture. This was a natural fit given the similarities of the brands and our customers who appreciate our craftsmanship, heritage, and true New York narrative.” Staying true to MOSCOT’s heritage design, The TOMO SUN is made from acetate with a wrap-around frame front featuring three dot rivets, unique beveling and no exposed hardware, paddle temples with grips, a saddle bridge, and real seven-barrel hinges. With a subtle “wrap” used for sports and to protect from the sun and wind, the new frame can be categorized as a face-form style. Authentically capturing the textures, details, sounds and style of true urban escapism, the campaign accompanies model, and long-time friend of both brands, Danny DiMauro out to New York’s Rockaway Beach for an early morning surf session. Rounding out the collaborative partnership, The MOSCOT x Saturdays Surf Spotify playlist provides breezy beats for an endless summer chosen by members of each team. The TOMO SUN will release as a limited 150-unit batch exclusively available online and in-stores at MOSCOT and Saturdays NYC. The specialty frame is made in two Classiconic™ MOSCOT colors: Shiny Black with G15 Glass Lenses and Dark Havana with Chestnut Fade Tinted Lenses and comes with a custom co-branded chamois.

When purchasing a new pair of sunglasses there are several factors to consider relating to fit and style, including sunglass shape, size, and lens material. While now less common due to weight and expense, there are various advantages of real glass lenses to keep in mind. Glass lenses are a classic choice and provide optimal visual clarity, glare reduction, and little to no distortion. Mineral glass lenses are also scratch resistant and provide long-lasting color as the tint is embedded in the crystal and does not change or oxidize over time like a plastic tint can. Regular plastic eyeglass lenses block most UV light, but mineral glass lenses provide an added boost of UV protection. MOSCOT Original Sunglasses feature authentic mineral glass lenses from the good ol’ days retaining the authenticity of the original frame styles that precisely duplicate the true old-school colors first fabricated by the Company in the 1940s. MOSCOT offers six original glass lens colors: G15, Calibar Green, Cosmitan Brown, Grey, Blue, and Yellow in many MOSCOT Original frames.  Fun fact: Glass lenses were the first lenses used… Good ole Ben Franklin fused two pieces of glass together to make the first bifocals! “Back in the day, my Dad (Joel, 3G) and his father (Sol, 2G) used to only grind glass prescription lenses, which needed to be treated to make them shatterproof. One of my earliest memories working with my family was placing these glass lenses into the case hardening machine, which was a special oven that heated the glass lenses to extreme temperatures. After all these years, we’re still doing it the old-school way!” – Dr. Harvey Moscot, 4th Generation Shop real glass lenses now!

Simply select the lens color you desire and be sure the size corresponds with your frames, whether they’re 44 (Narrow), 46 (Average), 49 (Wide), or 52 (Extra Wide).

While this makes adjusting the tint of the glasses relatively easy, it also means the wearer has no control over the tint of their lenses at any given time. Clip-On glasses, on the other hand, can be attached and removed from your MOSCOT eyeglass’s frames as needed. Clip-Ons come in variety of tint colors, including CUSTOM MADE TINTS™ and can be made with blue-light lenses to ease the strain on your eyes while working at the computer.

When ordering prescription glasses online or in Shop the first step (after selecting your frame!) is to choose your lenses based on your prescription strength and focal type. What is the difference between single vision and progressive lenses in prescription glasses? Let us explain—we’ve been making prescription glasses for over 100 years! Single Vision Single Vision lenses are used for one purpose only, they provide one focal range for either distance, reading, or computer wear. When someone is nearsighted (known as myopia), that means they have near sight, naturally, and they need the lenses for seeing far. MOSCOT also provides Single Vision lenses for reading. When an individual requires lenses just for reading, they are considered farsighted (called hyperopia). These two categories, distance and reading, or nearsighted and farsighted, are types of Single Vision prescription glasses. If you don’t know whether you’re nearsighted or farsighted, your prescription can answer that for you! A minus sign in the spherical error (or SPH) column on the prescription means you’re nearsighted, and closer objects appear more clearly. If you see plus signs followed by numbers, you’re farsighted. To find out how extensive your nearsightedness or farsightedness is, move to the numbers next to the plus or minus signs. Some people need glasses for seeing far, some for seeing close, and some need correction for both. If your prescription includes a value in the ADD category, your doctor is recommending a multi-focal, or Progressive lens. Progressive Progressive lenses accommodate for multiple depths or ranges of vision within the lens into one pair of glasses. These lenses correct near, intermediate, and distance fields of vision in one lens so you don’t have to switch between multiple pairs of prescription glasses. A Progressive lens provides stellar distance vision as you look straight ahead, but as you glance downward towards the bottom of the lens, you’ll find that your vision is gradually magnified to assist with near tasks. In addition, you will find a sweet spot in between these two zones that will aid in either computer work or glancing at a dashboard while driving. Patients new to Progressive Lenses may take some time getting used to seeing through these lenses for the first week, as it takes at least a few days for your eyes and brain to communicate and get comfortable. We guarantee your visual comfort and overall satisfaction with our new digital progressive lens technology. SHOP ALL OPTICAL Our MOSCOT Family Members can assist you along the way.

Need a hand in customizing your prescription glasses? We’re here to help! Once you’ve selected either Single Vision or Progressive lenses, the next step is choosing an appropriate material and lens enhancement(s) that best suit your lifestyle. Single Vision Lens Types Standard MOSCOT’s Single Vision lenses are available in three different tiers. The first tier is called Standard Single Vision and is a standard uncoated plastic lens. Standard Single Vision lenses are most suitable for occasional usage, i.e., your frames spend the most time in their case. Advanced The second tier is called Advanced Single Vision. This lens is also made from standard plastic but includes an anti-reflective treatment which allows more light to penetrate the lens, instead of reflecting off it, providing clearer vision. This lens offers both aesthetic benefits, as well as a diminished halo effect from oncoming headlights when driving at night. We recommend Advanced Single Vision lenses when your frame spends at least half the day on your face. Premier Our top tier is the Premier Single Vision—and our most popular option. This lens type is made with a more impact resistant and lightweight material called polycarbonate. Premier Single Vision lenses have a premium anti-reflective treatment, preserving the lens, making it more scratch resistant. We believe in it so much that we include a one-year warranty for any scratches or scuffs that may arise. These lenses are recommended for when your frame lives on your face! Progressive Lens Types Advanced As with Single Vision lenses, there are different tiers of Progressive prescription lenses. The first Progressive lens we offer is called Advanced Progressives. This is our basic entry into Progressive lenses and is made with lightweight and durable polycarbonate, inclusive of a premium anti-reflective coating. The guaranteed warranty is for two years. Premier Premier Progressive lenses are similar to the Advanced Progressives in material and premium anti-reflection but are also digitally surfaced to widen your fields of vision (or simply minimize peripheral blur). MOSCOT Premier Progressive is an all-purpose, digital design with a perfect balance between distance and near fields of vision. Still have questions on ordering your prescription glasses online?
