The Sirmont: another iconic style drawn from the American Optical archives, illustrating just how deeply fashion and history are intertwined. Worn by influential figures such as LBJ and Malcolm X, this browline frame, introduced in the early 1950s, has never lost its appeal. Staying true to the original, we’ve recreated the period specifications while incorporating modern ergonomic adjustments, including multiple sizes for a perfect fit.
