Salt. Airlie

SALT. Airlie is the teardrop driving sunglass kept honest: Italian-racing silhouette, Japanese acetate, polarized glass or CR-39 already in the chassis. SALT. traces the shape to 1917 aviation and sport-driving protection. We sell it as a wearable classic, not a costume visor.

Japanese acetate, functional rivet hinges, polarized optical-grade glass and CR-39, plus AR, hydrophobic, and oleophobic coatings. Designed in California. Handcrafted in Japan. $520.

Who it’s for. Anyone who wants a true teardrop sun with a narrow 15 mm bridge. 50 mm eye, 40.5 mm depth, 145 mm temples. The bridge is tighter than most of our acetate sun — come in and check it. Not a wide fashion shield.

Shape. Round / teardrop driving (sun). Manufacturer describes classic Italian driving frames.

Material. Premium Japanese acetate; functional rivet hinges; Japanese componentry. Polarized optical-grade glass and CR-39 (colorways below list the lens SALT. currently pairs). Coatings: AR, hydrophobic, oleophobic.

Origin. Designed in California. 100% made in Japan.
