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.

Zesty, zealous…sometimes a bit zany, this one’s named for Abe Zindik, a local L.E.S. resident and professor at Brooklyn College. Made from thick block acetate with detailed beveling on the front and temples, this style is perfect for the class clown and book worm alike. No matter how you wear it, The ZINDIK’s got you covered from Abe to Z.

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.

From YUTZ to KLUTZ… and now, The UTZ. Don’t get annoyed – we couldn’t help ourselves. Sure, the name might bring to mind someone who’s a little clumsy or a little pesky, but there’s nothin’ dopey about this frame. With a silhouette that’s sharp, stylish, and anything but bothersome, The UTZ proves that even a tease can be timeless. Consider this your not-so-gentle nudge into standout style.

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.

Picture this: it’s 1972 on Orchard Street and Benny “The Bluff” Rosenberg, with his makeshift three card monte table, is packin’ up his rig faster than you could say chutzpah. Funky, fearless, and just a little offbeat, The TRAIF captures the spirit of a street where everyone hustled and had a story to tell – even if it wasn’t strictly kosher.

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.

Antonio was a MOSCOT porter around Sol’s time in the Shop. As reliable as he was tough (read: very), he was surprisingly refined when it came to repairing the delicate equipment behind the counter.

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.

Back in the ’70s on Orchard Street, Sundays meant the street was closed, crowds formed, and undercover cops quietly worked the scene, keeping an eye on three-card Monty. One of them, Alex Bonilla, wore this iconic aviator style.
