$82 Several sizes available

    Ordering   Measurements

These classic men's fades 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 ''50 22'' and the temples are marked ''SHURON USA 6'' and other sizes are marked accordingly. 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 beautiful, traditional top to bottom fade. 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.

Sizes marked (*) are not stocked, but readily available. Please allow an added 4 to 8 business days.

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, brownsmoke, demi-grey and, of course, basic black. 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.
