These classic men's brown smoke 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 dark, brown smoke Zyl, optical jargon for plastic. 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 five-barrel hinges. Real classics.

Sizes marked (*) are not stocked, but are easily ordered for the same price. 

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.

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, demi-grey, of course, basic black and the newly re-introduced fades.  They also have a cable temple option available in silver or gold. They're what they call their ''Aztec cable'' and for those instead of usual plastic temples it's an added $36. You can see the Aztec temples used here.  

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.
