Aviator sunglasses
Retro aviator sunglasses, taking inspiration from the vintage Aviator sunglasses, or 'pilot's glasses' which were originally developed in 1936 by Bausch & Lomb for pilots to protect their eyes while flying, thus the name aviator.
The Aviator became a well-known style of sunglasses when General Douglas MacArthur landed on a beach in the Philippines in World War II and newspaper photographers snapped several pictures of him wearing them. Lastly Bausch & Lomb dedicated a line of sunglasses to him in 1987.The style was also issued to and found popularity with the French Army.
