1950's Type G RAF Aircrew Sunglasses

1950's Type G RAF Aircrew Sunglasses

The RAF Sunglasses issued in the 1950's differed slightly from their WW2 predecessors in that they had a Brow Bar which provided the frames with added strength. These spectacles feature precision ground curved type meniscus green polarised lenses by Karl Zeiss. The frame has bowed temples for comfort with adjustable sprung temple tips which fit around the ear to avoid slippage during barrel rolls, dog fights and general, everyday use.

A visit to Algha Works in East London in 2014 resulted with them agreeing to resurrect the WW2 and Cold War 1950's sun spectacles for Lewis Leathers, using same machinery and tooling which produced the originals.

2020 saw the antique machinery shipped to Italy, where the glasses are now made, for complete refurbishment, production finally resumed again in 2023 and the spectacles are now back in stock.

This eyewear is made to a very high standard, still on the original machinery, by Italian craftsmen and only the finest materials are used in their manufacture.
