Ray Ban Shooter Leather Edition, B&L Bausch und Lomb, Made in USA, 80′s


Im not a big fan of RAY-BAN (even if i know its a classic brand), but these leather shooters kick ass…They are Huge and they have phototropic lenses wich turn in really dark color when you have enough sun!!!

Cazal 325 Made in W.Germany Passau Dark Red Gold 80′s

Since i learned about CAZAL this model was one i hunted till i got it!!! I love it in this colorway but i would take these in every other color i could get them, cause they are just funky!!!

If you ask me, the 325 are one of the TOP-MODELS Cazal ever made!!!

WORD!!!

Zeiss Competition West Germany




There are a lot of oldfashion sunglassesbrands out there, but when it comes to quality, for me it seems like zeiss where on top of the game in the 80′s.

If you ever had the chance to get your hands on one frame of the competition series of zeiss you will know what i mean.

the temples are adjustable, the details on the frame are fantstic, the combo out of gold and silver rocks and they feel like they are build to last!!!

Everyone loves the Alpina M1, me too!!!

The first vintage shades i had where a pair of Alpina M1`s. I found them on a Fleemarket im my hometown. I rocked them without knowing what kind of classicpiece a found for one Euro!!!
After a while i realized that Jay Z is rocking the same Pair of shades in his show me what you got” video. So i started searching for them and now im an addict to all of these vintage glasses.

Now i know that Jay Z is wearing the small version of the M1 but i really like the Big Ones better!!!

I thought it would be intersting to show who is or was sporting the Alpina Topseller from the 80′s. Its not like only the Rapstars from nowerdays are in love with them Alpina sold millions of M1′s when they where originally producted.
