Handcrafted cellulose acetate-frame sunglasses from THISTLES in New York City.

Inspired by the iconic wayfarer frames famously worn by the likes of Pacino and Nicholson, the JACK offers a modern twist on a timeless Hollywood classic. Featuring a shorter lens than the original THISTLE frame, these sunglasses maintain a sharp, angular shape that recalls the bold, cinematic style of the 90s.

The wider temple bars add a chic, oversized flair, creating a statement piece that perfectly balances both style and wearability. The JACK brings a touch of vintage sophistication with a contemporary edge. Each pair is made in the highest quality cellulose acetate, a plant-based plastic composed of cotton fibers and wood pulp. The JACK features five-barrel hinges for durability and CR-39 lenses for UV protection and is handmade.
