Persol 3222-S Sunglasses Black w/Green Lens 62mm 9531 PO 3222S PO3222S PO3222-S

**A CENTURY OF PEDEIGREE AND TRADITION ,,,,,, THE LEGACY CONTINUES◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇▪◇ ▪◇there was a time when the mention of sunglasses meant either Ray Ban or Persol ,,,,, Other sunglasses brands were ubiquitous in number but generic in bloodline. ,,,, Even the greatest designer name brands were regarded as just over priced accessories. ,,,,Hollywood super stars were seldom seen wearing anything other than Persol or Ray Ban ,,,,,, Celebrities,, Millioniers and International State Dictators wore Persol. ,,,, Airline Pilots, who were regarded as royalties, wore Ray Ban. ,,,,,, Here in the US,, in CAMELOT,, Jack Kennedy wore Ray Ban ,,, Jackie Kennedy wore Persol. ,,, The Little People in America (those who paid taxes) wore everything else.!!!Now, the Italian multi nationl holding company that owns Persol,, Exottica,, has acquired US Ray Ban from its giant parent corporation, Bausch & Lomb to become the world's largest manufacturer of fashion optics and eyewear. ,,,, Vintage Persol and Ray Ban still fetch a pretty pennie. The Legacy continues.Now,, every Italian and French designer house offer a collection of fashion eyewear made for them in Italy, in the same manufacturing facilities which churn out billions of Persol eyewear every year,,, Even Ray Ban,, which was synonymous with everything Americana,, is now made in Italy on the same manufacturing lines that produce every sunglasses name brand of global reach.Highly durable,, these Persol are actually hand made of high density polymer acetate ,, and polarized tempered mineral crystal glass lenses especially formulated to block the entire wave range of the harmful ultraviolet spectrum.These Persol's ear arms come invariably with their exclusive 2 stud mid-arm pivoting system,, which allows for exact fit to individual face and head contours. ,,,, No other glasses that I have ever seen are capable of such individualized exact fit except through a spring loaded hinge system..,,,,, These Persol employ both methods for system redundancy,, an engineering concept for reliability. ,,,,,Arm to frame hinging is accomplished via Persol's Signature imbeded double-head arrow emblem, which is Persol's unmistakable brand insignia that serves both as an almost indestructible spring-loaded hinge and a trademark insignia pointing to a legacy spanning over a century.I bought These glasses not just because they are excellent eyewear protection against the Sun, or just because they are built solid like a pressur cooker peeping glass assembly,, but also because of their pedigree,, and because of their legacy,,,,, and above all,, because the definition of Persol is SUNGLASSES ..... I never leave home without them.ThIS particular model is a marriage of tradition and modern design sophistication. It is also one of very few Persol designs that offer a perpetual classical retro wide lens size of 62mm,,, They tend to make a unique personal statement....... My choice for the size and design was based on that concept.....! ,,,, My choice of the frame color black, is because,, traditionally,, it is a classic men's preference... And the green crystal lenses is perhaps the best lens color ever.**
