Salt. Blackburn

SALT. Blackburn is the vintage aviator taken as a softly squared acetate: Japanese acetate, functional rivet hinges, polarized CR-39 already in the chassis. SALT. names it after Blackburn Cove — vintage aviator-inspired, a modern progressive edge, a masculine fit, and a softly squared silhouette. We sell it as a 51 mm acetate square with a 22 mm bridge, not a wrap.

Japanese acetate, functional rivet hinges, polarized optical-grade CR-39, plus AR, hydrophobic, and oleophobic coatings. Designed in California. Handcrafted in Japan. $535.
