Eye Jacket Double Deal

[prisonwallet]

First time poster here. Recently got into sunglasses.. I started running and wanted something cool to wear while doing so. I'm obsessed with vintage clothing and such so I looked into to older eyewear.

Came across Eye Jackets and most of my friends think they're goofy I think they're awesome.

I bout a pair of early model Twenty XX 3 days ago for $35 bucks on marketplace and they're pristine. Then today I find a guy selling these two eye jackets that he himself bought in the 90's for $300 for both together. Had to cop.. cheers!

Very nice pickup.

Hopefully the hinges are not squared on the EJs

Do you know the History behind Eye-Jackets and fact they were the first pair of C.N.C. machined Sunglasses, ever!

Andddd Great score, lovely Gold X's and are they Jokers or just the Moss colourway?

What does that mean?

It means there are 2 generations of this model. First gen is that you have squared hinges + orbital crack issue (not durable for everyday use).
Second gen is round hinges and durable with no wear issues.

Jokers? I believe they are moss. Was unaware of a joker color way. And I did not know that about them, so cool!
