It’s no coincidence that Flynn begins with the letters F-L-Y. Inspired by the Original Pilot — a favorite among U.S. military pilots since 1958 — the Flynn adds a handcrafted acetate insert that brings both color around the eyes and built-in side protection. Drawing inspiration from early 20th-century driving glasses and 1950s safety eyewear, Flynn embodies the perfect balance between style and functionality.
Note: the frame measures 57 mm, but the insert reduces the lens size to 55 mm.
