Have questions about polarized lenses? We’re here to help! What are Polarized Lenses, and why do you need them? MOSCOT polarized sunglasses block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and are particularly useful for eliminating glare. Glare can interfere with depth perception and color contrast, making outdoor activities such as hiking or snow and water sports more difficult or uncomfortable. How do polarized lenses reduce harsh glare? Our Polarized Sunglass lenses block horizontal light waves, known as reflections, while allowing the vertical waves, or direct light, to pass through.  By removing the horizontally reflected light, the polarization effect of our lenses effectively eliminates glare while enhancing color, depth, and clarity. When should you wear polarized sunglasses? While polarized sunglasses can be worn at any time, they are especially beneficial when engaging in outdoor activities near reflective surfaces such as water or snow. They’re also great while driving in bright sunshine!

Now available for The LEMTOSH, MILTZEN, SHTARKER, ZEV, ZOLMAN, CLIPTOSH, and CLIPZEN in 20 unique colorways, Custom Made Tints™ are currently available on MOSCOT.COM and MOSCOT Shops around the globe! Shop now for new custom made glasses! Fun fact! 4th Generation Harvey Moscot’s first job was tinting in the lab! With 20 unique tint options to choose from, tinted lens preferences may change depending on style, fashion, or purpose. Grey and Green tinted glasses (American Grey Fade, Calibar Green, G-15) are considered neutral as they allow the eyes to perceive color in their truest form. Brown lenses (Cosmitan Brown) provide contrast and minimize eyestrain. Yellow (Mellow Yellow) is ideal for object definition, while Amber may make distant objects appear more distinct—especially in snow or haze. Vermillion lenses (Big Apple Fade, Cabernet) provide color perception and contrast in low light. Try a unique look with rose tinted glasses, yellow tinted glasses, or blue tinted glasses!  A look back on the history of tinted lenses: The first tinted glasses appeared in the 1800s on protective steel spectacles with Viridian Green Glass lenses to correct various vision impairments. They were primarily designed to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. By 1904, American Automobile Goggles grew in popularity as tinted sunglasses as necessary protective accessories to keep riders comfortable, safe, and clean. The 1930s brought on a new wave of American Glass Sunglasses with Calibar Green lenses in the forefront of style and technology. In the 1940s, lenses in red, green, blue, or yellow tints were matched with frames to compliment skin and hair colors, and in some cases, were thought to correct mood or medical illnesses. By the 1960s, a variety of lens colors grew in popularity, in MOSCOT shades like Big Apple Fade, Mellow Yellow, Denim Blue, Limelight, and American Grey Fade. In addition to making a fashion statement, tinted shades in the ‘80s were chosen to highlight eyes or cheeks and soften surface reflections. Fashion tints are still quite popular today in a wide range of colorways, styles, and functions, and can be seen on MOSCOT fans from Cristiano Ronaldo in The LEMTOSH with Purple Nurple Custom Made Tint™ to Elton John in a rose pink tinted BUPKES!

Take a look behind the lens as Chief Design Officer and 5th Generation, Zack Moscot, introduces the new Spring 2021 Collection and shares the family-passed story behind each heritage-inspired frame. GONIF ZM: The GONIF is our first-ever pure titanium aviator. You may recognize our distinct titanium temple tip design and even our Custom Made Tints™ that give this unique metal frame the glitz and glamour it truly deserves. Story: In the early days of Saturday Night Live, our Orchard Street Shop managers would often field last minute calls for characters needing glamorous frames for that night’s show. With the glitz of titanium and shape hinting at an aviator, The GONIF was made to steal the spotlight. HITSIK ZM: The HITSIK is inspired by the famous musicians that came to MOSCOT in the 1960s. This classic frame features paddle temples and our most Classiconic™ color pairings such as Burnt Rose and Calibar Green glass lenses. This piece is nothing short of American rock ‘n roll! Story: Back in the 60s, local musician Buddy was always found jammin’ around the East Village’s simmering music scene with a guitar slung across his hips and a pair of shades on top his head. An ode to our musical roots, and the classics we can’t live without, put your hands together for The HITSIK! VANTZ ZM: Utilizing the same great DNA of The LEMTOSH, The VANTZ embodies our world renowned pair of specs. Featuring new colorways such as Brown Bamboo and Ink, The VANTZ is a strong force to reckon with. This new frame is available in two sizes, Optical and Sun, and fits nearly all face types. Story: If The LEMTOSH had a smart aleck little brother, his name would be VANTZ. With its subtle curves, small diamond rivets, and playful array of colorways, The VANTZ has the same great DNA as the beloved LEMTOSH, with its own feeling of flare.  TAMAVAT ZM: The TAMAVAT is an 80s inspired MOSCOT Original with big personality. This frame packs a punch and makes a bold statement using size, color, and intricate acetate details on the front and temple. Don’t underestimate The TAMAVAT! Story: After a busy weekend in the Lower East Side, 4th Generation Harvey would take the staff across the street to a cool after-hours bar. Sheila, the bartender, had a big personality, and even bigger hair. In honor of her epic 80s style, and generous (read: big) pour, we cheers to Sheila and The TAMAVAT! PUPIK ZM: The PUPIK is a round, lightweight reverse Windsor rim with a distinct top bar and titanium nose pads. This frame is not only flexible, but also super comfortable. Just ask 4th Generation, Harvey Moscot, you’ll see him wearing The PUPIK this season! Story: Whenever he had an extra buck and a little break, Uncle Heshy loved to play the horses at the OTB on Delancey. Always a fan of circular specs and a locked-in favorite, we bet The PUPIK would be Uncle Heshy’s next winning pick! YONTIF ZM: Made from thick block acetate with our signature MOSCOT diamond rivets, this extra chunky frame comes in two larger sizes and a handful of colorways. With the saddle bridge, soft beveled edges, and added height, The YONTIF takes on a more fashion-forward approach. Story: No need to wait for a special occasion to wear this chunky frame! Cut from block acetate into a streamlined shape, these spunky specs bring the party wherever you go—simply throw on your frame and have a good YONTIF!  ZM: I feel this new spring campaign and collection connects our family’s heritage to the resilience of New York City. We hope this new year brings us new sites, new hopes, and new success as we navigate into 2021.
