Salt. Madison

SALT. Madison is the mid-century browline sun: a full titanium front, Japanese acetate brow, polarized optical-grade CR-39 already in the chassis. SALT. writes a homage to bold browline styling — thick on top, thin metal rim at the bottom — with the emphasis on optics and construction. A tapered titanium front is designed to carry a prescription so stress is not transferred to the lens. We sell it as a 54 mm round browline with a 19 mm bridge, not a wrap and not Madison RX.

Japanese acetate, mono-bock titanium front, polarized optical-grade CR-39, plus AR, hydrophobic, and oleophobic coatings. Designed in California. Handcrafted in Japan. $610.

Who it’s for. Anyone who wants a true browline sun in metal and acetate, not a wrap. 54 mm eye, 19 mm bridge, 148 mm temples, 41 mm depth. The 19 mm bridge is a standard browline — come in and check it. Not a wrap.

Shape. Round browline (sun). Manufacturer tags the shape as round and describes a mid-century browline with bold top styling and a thin metal rim toward the bottom.
