Shop Garrett Leight Superba Sunglasses

It's not always about thin, clean, and simple.  The Garrett Leight Superba represents California to the fullest in that it's a thick classic acetate wrap frame, perfect for a cruise on a motorcycle or a day on the beach.  The Superba is reminiscent of the frame worn by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry, but even tougher.Three new sunglass models and two optical models are  introduced to the lineup.  The collection encompasses large acetate wrapped frames with attitude, as well as thin, comfortable, and clean optical frames.  Each are available in very cool and unique colorways, such as: "Dark Caramel Gradient" with "Pure Brown" lenses, "Butterscotch" with old-school "Pure Green" lenses, and "Matte Honey Blonde Tortoise" with "Redwood" polarized lenses, a few of our favorites.

What is lens curvature? Lens curvature refers to the amount of arc in the lens. It is often represented using two numbers, such as 12 x 4.5. The first number (12) would be the horizontal arc (also called the base). A 6 base lens has a more flat, square shape creating a more scholarly look. You will find many 6 base lenses in fashion sunglasses. A larger base like a 9 base is more wrapped and therefore will appear more suited for active  endeavors. The second number (4.5) refers to the vertical arc in the lens. 4.5 means it's slightly rounded from top to bottom.Should I worry about the hinge type? Probably not. Most hinges are made from stainless steel or a water resistant metal alloy to prevent rusting. Many of the hinges found on sunglasses are barrel hinges, which are formed out of interlocking pieces and held together with a single screw. They are inexpensive, durable, and functional.Spring hinges use spring tension to press the temples of the frame closer to the sides of your head. This allows for a closer, more customized fit, but also means they are more expensive.

What is the most popular lens and frame color? The combination of a grey lens encompassed by a shiny black frame is the most popular option. We expect this to be our best seller for years to come.How should I keep my sunglasses clean? They best way to keep your sunglasses clean is to store them in a protective case when not in use. This will also keep your lenses from getting scratched. Because your shades will eventually collect dirt and dust, use a soft cloth and warm soapy water when those spots become unbearable (or when you can no longer see through them). Many sunglasses come with a micro-fiber bag which is perfect for cleaning on the go.
