For those of us that are old enough to remember Tom Cruise dancing around in the living room with Ray Bans and his skivvies on, sunglasses are not just a way to safely shield yourself from the sun and prevent cataracts but the ultimate expression of your coolness. We’ve compiled some Made in the USA brands so you can get your cool on!
Note: All brands have been forthright with their materials source, what we have found is that a majority of companies need to source their hinges, lenses from overseas, usually European countries and Japan while the frames are manufactured in the USA.
