    Ordering   Measurements

These classic men's black plastic eyeglasses are brand new, mint condition and ready for prescription lenses or sunglasses. They're offered in several frame sizes. The frames in the photos are marked ''48 22'' and the temples are marked ''SHURON USA 5 3/4''. The plastic has a nice sheen and the metal rectangle shields shine. Please note: These are running a little small in the lens width as of late 2022, smaller than the stated lens width by about 1 mm.

These are the classic Shuron Freeway frame in a lustrous ebony. These are brand new, though they're same as they've always made them: keyhole bridge, flared hornrims, rectangular silver shields on the fronts and sides, and strong 5 barrel hinges. Real classics.

Temples are measured to their full length, hinge to tip, as though they were straightened out. Why? Because they're adjustable, so measurements to the bend vary. Lens and bridge measurements are from lens edge to lens edge. Hinge to hinge is measured from screw to screw. 

The Freeway comes in other colors, too. There are tortoise, clear, brownsmoke, demi-gray and the newly re-introduced fades. They also have a cable temple option available in silver or gold. They're what Shuron calls their ''Aztec cable''.

All frames are thoroughly inspected before leaving the Attic. I'm thorough about condition so there are no surprises and your glasses will be in top condition. These frame make great everyday glasses or some very cool sunglasses.

If you have any questions about this pair of glasses or anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me. I try to answer all questions promptly.  

If you're selecting cable temples, the Aztec temples take the 3.0 heat shrink cable temple covers and the Relaxo temples take the black 1.5 heat shrink or any 3.0 heat shrink cover.
