In the Seventies, former Royal Air Force navigator Jan Waszkiewicz and machinist Stanley Zaleski both immigrated to America with a few dollars in their pockets and a dream: to build the worlds best sunglasses. A few years later they joined forces with the U.S. military to produce the HGU-4/P Aviator for fighter pilots. These Randolph aviators werent just durable and innovative. They were stylish. Don Draper wore them in Mad Men. Junya Watanabe styled with them in his Spring 2022 show. And now Todd, a longtime fan, has worked with this family-owned business to create four exclusive styles made from jewelry quality metals.
For this exclusive take on the authentic Aviator, the frames are military olive. Other design details include bayonet-style temples that bend, an innovation originally developed so test pilots could pull on and off their helmets with ease; SkyTec Glass Polarized lenses with Vector Anti-Reflective & Blue Wave lens technology; and a strong enamel top coat thats twice-baked at 400 degrees for durability. Randolph is proud to be a family-owned and operated business that manufactures its glasses in Randolph, Massachusetts USA.
