About this item

Vintage Japanese metal aviator sunglasses with translucent side shields. The bright silver chrome front has a straight double bridge and squared aviator lens shape, with clear amber nose pads and fine wire temples ending in black tips. Pale translucent side shields are fixed at each hinge, giving the classic industrial "side shield" look. The lenses are a grey gradient. The inner hinge plate is stamped with a small emblem, "yamamoto" and "ND-6".

About the maker

The frame is marked "yamamoto" in lower-case with a small emblem, not "Yohji Yamamoto" as our earlier listing stated. This marking is consistent with Japanese optical manufacturing; Yamamoto Kogaku of Osaka, for example, is a long-established Japanese maker of protective and sports eyewear. We list it simply as Yamamoto ND-6 so the buyer can judge the attribution from the photos.
