Aunt Rosie was bright, complimentary, and always finding the silver lining in life's challenges. Her cheerful optimism was so influential, that the family would often remind one another to look at life through Aunt Rosie Colored Glasses. Just like Aunt Rosie's kindness and heart, this frame's design sensibility is pure GOLDA.

Good ol' Uncle Harold, aka Uncle Hesh, and his best friend, William, never met an adult beverage they didn't like. Heshy called William Velvyl (a moniker earned whilst the two boozy buddies were farshnoshket). Velvyl wore these glasses, and only these glasses, his entire life. Ergo, The VELVYL! Cheers!

Named after the man who started it all... Great Grandpa Hyman. This NEBB meets VILDA number, with a few hardware embellishments thrown in, has a tad less attitude, but is definitely no wallflower.

Close friends and family nicknamed Grandpa Sol, Zilch, which we are absolutely certain they meant ironically since Grandpa Sol was anything and everything but zero, nada, or zip. Or they were mean. Either way, we love this new frame and Grandpa Sol. Made from acetate with column rivets on the front and temples, a key hole bridge, and a real five barrel hinge.

Back in the days of yore, when the Lower East Side was more rough and tumble than cocktails and tapas, MOSCOT's resident optometrist, Dr. Richard Fleisig, aka "Dr. Zetz," did double duty: provided excellent eye care to patients, and punched (hence his moniker) bad guys, tasks that were (almost always) mutually exclusive. Like Dr. Zetz, this strong, sturdy frame is a knockout.

After 100+ years in the Lower East Side, we're no stranger to the cast of characters that show face at a New York City SHINDIG. These rectangular retro style specs feature a robust guestlist of colorways and signature Custom Made Tints™ that keep the party going from day to night. Groovy, baby!

Orchard Street resident and neighbor to Great great Grandpa Hyman, Walter Greenbaum was what we used to call a real "kibitser"- eccentric - fellow who liked to talk...all the time...to anyone within earshot...and even to those who weren't listening. Fortunately for Walter, Hyman was all ears. In honor of our late kibitser, we give you, The KIBITS.

A "balebus" is someone who is resolute, indomitable, and steadfast - qualities Great Grandpa Hyman so admired, he "invented" the "word" balebus to "identify" a "balebuster" whenever he saw one. Nearly 100 years later, we Moscots still love us a balebus, but think this frame may be a more appropriate way to "identify" one.

We named this frame The GROYSE because it's big. Big on style, big on character, and just plain big. Big, big, big. With its soft round shape, raw gold color, retro, flat beveled edges, and a bridge that sits high. The GROYSE is 1970s all the way. Can you dig?

Like The LEMTOSH, this "brother" from another mother, The BRUDE, shares its same round-square shape, and easy good looks, but is made from a metal acetate combination, and is rivet-free. First seen on brudes, dudes, and sisters in the 1960s, The BRUDE is subtly striking, and features detailed engraving on its bridge and temples.

We named The BREN for our beloved, longtime employee, Ida Wax, who worked for 40 years at MOSCOT from the 1960s through 1990s. A "Bren" incarnate, she was a firecracker of a woman charismatic and full of energy and an inspiration to everyone who knew and loved her.

While known as the black sheep of the family, Sol’s brother, Sam, was loved just the same. A bit of a rebel with a strong sense of self, when it came to matters of the family business, he fit in like a square peg to a round hole. Mirroring the rounded edges of this square-shaped frame, we made The MESHUG should you need a reminder to stand out.

If you love The NEBB, The HYMAN and The LEMTOSH, you'll love The EMIS, a 1950s frame that shares its DNA with each. A tad thinner and featuring uniquely shaped column rivets, good genes have done The EMIS good. Made from acetate with column rivets on the front and temples, a saddle bridge, and a five barrel hinge.
