Salt. Sirlin

SALT. Sirlin is the Black Bear Brand collaboration sun: 8 mm Japanese acetate, 24K gold-plated hinges and core wires, gold functional rivets, and a gold interior skeleton you can see on every color. SALT. writes the collaboration as refinement against ruggedness. We sell it as a 52 mm acetate sun with a 20 mm bridge, not a wrap.

8 mm Japanese acetate, functional rivet hinges, polarized optical-grade CR-39, plus AR, hydrophobic, and oleophobic coatings. Custom temple-tip etching. Designed in California. Handcrafted in Japan. $615.

Shape. Acetate sun (SALT. does not publish a fashion-shape name on the Sirlin pages). Thick squared front with a slight lift at the corners; gold rivet triangle at the endpieces.
