Given the recent box office success of Top Gun: Maverick, we’re rocking “pilot chic” this summer with classic, yet versatile MOSCOT aviator sunglasses! Although this flick might have just come out, the aviator sunglass design has withstood the test of time. Throughout the years, MOSCOT has created heritage eyewear designs for all types of aviator fans.   There’s a reason this easy to wear, casual, good-looking frame’s popularity has not just endured, but soared over the decades - it makes everyone look hot. Really hot. We promise. The JACOB SUN perfectly recreates the Air Force Pilot Sunglass first made popular in the 1940s. This traditional shape sits comfortably on the face with silicone nose pads.  The ZULU SUN, named after our strapping and unconventional uncle–Uncle Zulu Pushkin (yes, that’s his real name)–recreates the ubiquitous pilot look with a slight squared edge twist.  For the Seventies Enthusiasts The square aviator with a double-bar bridge and the addition of gradient fashion tints and shades became synonymous with 1970’s eyewear fashion. The SHTARKER GOLD with Broadway Blue Fade Custom Made Tint™ encapsulates the funky fashion of the ‘70s. Plus, all Custom Made Tint™ lenses are tinted by hand in NYC!  The BJORN is made from acetate and comes in a translucent color, to fill out your face without covering it up. Full frontal, indeed. For the Wildcards For over a century, MOSCOT has been at the forefront of aviator innovation bringing you all the newest shapes and sizes. Looking to mix up?

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. Get your sunnies on! Featured on HiConsumption Magazine, The TOMO SUN is in the spotlight-- check it out!   

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!

Clip-On Glasses Buying Guide If you wear prescription eyeglasses, you know how much of a hassle it can be to switch back and forth between your everyday eyeglass frames and sunglasses throughout the day. Not only is it a hassle, taking up precious time, but it also requires you to purchase prescription sunglasses in addition to your eyeglasses. Take the hassle out of your life with MOSCOT Clip-On glasses. Simply attach the Clip-On lenses to your everyday frames and transform your eyeglasses into sunglasses or blue-light glasses with ease. In this Clip-On glasses buying guide, you’ll learn everything you need to know about Clip-On glasses, including which size to buy, the best styles, and how to attach them to your frames. SHOP CLIP-ON GLASSES Clip-On Glasses Size Chart Choosing the correct size for your Clip-On glasses is essential to ensuring they fit securely to your MOSCOT frames. Every set of our Clip-On glasses corresponds with a style and size of our most popular MOSCOT Originals frames, so that you can be sure your Clip-Ons will fit snugly to your eyeglasses. For example, if you wear eyeglasses with our LEMTOSH frames, then the CLIPTOSH Clip-On glasses are for you. 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). Fun fact: Some of our clips are cross compatible. See the full list below!   How to Choose Clip-On Glasses Choosing the right pair of Clip-Ons is easy, as all our Clip-On glasses are made to correspond with our most popular frame styles. All you have to do is select the Clip-On glasses that pair with your MOSCOT frame style and size. Once you’ve picked the corresponding style and size, you can choose from a range of lens colors to find one that best fits your style. We also offer Clip-Ons in a selection of shade or blue-light lenses to meet a variety of needs. Blue light Clip-On Glasses Ease the strain on your eyes by attaching Clip-Ons with blue light filters to your eyeglasses. Extended exposure to blue light from devices such as computers and smartphones can add unwanted strain to your eyes. With blue light Clip-On glasses, you can reduce the strain on your eyes by attaching them to your everyday eyeglasses while using devices that emit blue light.  Round Clip-On Sunglasses Our Clip-Ons come in variety of styles and can be affixed to a range of our most popular frames. For round Clip-On sunglasses, explore our MILTZEN and ZEV frame Clip-On options. We also offer Clip-Ons for other MOSCOT Originals frame styles. Simply choose the Clip-On style that corresponds with your MOSCOT eyeglasses. Universal Clip-On Sunglasses All of our Clip-Ons are designed to fit specifically with one of our MOSCOT Originals frame styles. Each of our Clip-On lenses is easy to attach and detach from your MOSCOT frames as needed. Simply choose the Clip-On that pairs with your MOSCOT eyeglasses for a perfect fit every time. Clip-On Glasses vs. Transition Lenses If you’re looking for an easy way to switch between eyeglasses and sunglasses without switching frames, you have several options. These include Transition lenses and Clip-On glasses. Transition lenses work by adapting to the light, becoming more and less shaded depending on the surroundings. 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. How to Attach Clip-On Glasses Attaching Clip-On glasses is easy. Simply pop them on to your frames as desired, and since each of our Clip-Ons is made to fit specifically with our frames, you don’t have to worry about them coming loose or scratching your lenses. Where to Buy Clip-On Glasses To find the perfect set of Clip-On glasses for your MOSCOT eyeglasses, check out our complete selection here. You can also explore our popular range of MOSCOT eyeglasses for stylish eyeglasses with your prescription.

Set in the iconic Lower East Side and captured from various points of view, The MOSCOT Spring-Summer 2022 Campaign poses the question, “How do you see you?”.   SHOP SPRING 2022   Utilizing multiple camera types and strategically shot from various angles, the campaign explores the original persona each style embodies while highlighting the rich tonal hues of the frame in focus. SHOP SPRING 2022 LOOKBOOK   ‘How do you see you?’ features 3 of the Spring-Summer 2022 frames: The DAHVEN, The GREPS, and The SHONDA SUN. With The SHONDA and The SHULA styles handcrafted in a limited batch for this season only, these are two frames to keep an eye on! ZM: “My father always says, ‘The first thing you see on one’s face is a pair of glasses’. You don’t see someone’s shoes first, you might not see their pants first, but their glasses really tell a story, it tells who they are, and it tells the story that they want to tell.” SHOP SPRING 2022

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?

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!

MOSCOT has been custom tinting lenses for decades, using a variety of handmade, dip-dying techniques. 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.

MOSCOT’s Spring-Summer 2021 campaign and collection features 6 new frame styles inspired by the spirit of connection, the strength of New York City and the resilience of those who call the city home.   Navigating onward and into 2021, MOSCOT aspires to bridge the gap – fostering connection and community after an unprecedented year that required a new degree of social distancing and physical disconnection.  Shot on, under, and around the Manhattan Bridge, one of 21 iconic bridges connecting the world to Manhattan, the new Spring 2021 collection highlights the strength of its frames through an introspection of materials and construction. “The representation of strong metal textures and the sturdy vibrational movement of the iconic Manhattan Bridge was a key reference in the new designs that were handcrafted in limited batches this season, such as the pure titanium GONIF and the intentionally oversized TAMAVAT,” shares Chief Design Officer and 5th Generation, Zack Moscot. He adds, “I was inspired by our Lower East Side DNA, and some key characteristics of New York City that tell our unique and tenacious story.” As nostalgia seeps in and the city comes into focus, MOSCOT sets its sights on a new collection that connects the world to the family’s heritage and the resilience of New York City.

Everything You Need to Know About Blue Light Glasses Your vision is our concern, and that goes beyond prescriptions. Glare from digital screens can be an ongoing issue for many people. Whether we like it or not, the truth is our world is full of screens! Between cell phones, computers, tablets, and TVs—oh my!—most people spend a large portion of their day staring directly into a digital screen. Whether it be for work, fun, or just to pass the time, all this screen time can start to take a toll on the eyes, leading to eye strain, eye fatigue, sleep disruption, and even headaches. To help combat the negative effects of all this screen time, many people are beginning to wear blue light filtering glasses. Maybe you’ve heard of blue light glasses before, seen a work colleague use a pair, or have even tried ‘em on yourself. Or maybe, you’re entirely new to the world of blue light glasses. Either way, you probably have some questions: How do they work? What do they do? Where can I find the most stylish blue light glasses on the market? Well, look no further! In this guide, we’ll answer all your questions about blue light glasses so that you have all the information you need to help you find the perfect pair. What Are Blue Light Glasses? Blue light glasses, or blue-light blocking glasses, feature specially designed lenses that filter out blue light from digital screens, helping to reduce eye strain during prolonged screen time. These lenses filter out high-energy visible light and help eliminate glare by providing a protective layer. What is Blue Light? As part of the visible light spectrum, high-energy blue light comes from both the sun and artificial light sources, like digital screens. Fourth-generation and Doctor of Optometry, Dr. Harvey Moscot, says: “Over-exposure to this high energy blue light from computers and other digital devices can lead to symptoms such as eye-strain, headaches, and sleep disruption.” According to The Vision Council, 80% of American adults report using digital devices for more than two hours per day, with nearly 67% using two or more devices simultaneously. 59% report experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain. From TVs and tablets to computers and phones, we’re constantly exposing ourselves to high-energy blue light. The more time spent in front of digital devices, the more work the eye must do to focus on the changing images from the flicker, contrast, and glare of the screen, resulting in eye strain. How can you reduce the impact of blue light? We all use tech every day, whether we’re sitting at a computer for work, using a smartphone, or even just watching TV. These things can all cause blue light overexposure. To reduce the impact of blue light, you should:  Cut down screen time. The simplest way to minimize the impact of blue light is to limit the amount of time spent looking at screens. If you work on a screen, take regular breaks away from your desk to rest your eyes. To ensure your eyes and body are prepared for sleep, you should also try to limit the amount of time spent looking at your phone and watching TV in the hour before bed. Adjust your settings. Most screens and phones come with a ‘blue light’ option that you can automatically activate in the evening. This means your digital devices emit less blue light at night, helping to reduce the effects on your body. Work in well-lit spaces. If you’re working on screens, ensure you’re working in a well-lit room. If the area you’re in is too dim, the contrast with your screen can increase eye fatigue. Try blue light glasses. Blue light glasses filter out the glare and blue light from screens, helping to reduce the effect on your eyes. They're a great option if you work on screens or struggle to reduce your time on digital devices.  Do blue light filter glasses work? Yes, blue light glasses are proven to filter out blue light, helping to reduce glares and making a better overall experience for anyone using a digital screen Can You Wear Blue Light Glasses with Contacts?
