1 Ray-Ban made many great styles of sunglasses while part of Bausch & Lomb and before being sold to Luxottica in 1999, but we don't like any style better than classic and vintage B&L Ray-Ban Leathers sunglasses. Always popular and unique, it's a sunglasses design that you just don't see from any other manufacturer than Ray-Ban. The teardrop shaped lens and aviator frame are wrapped in leather, in this case a dark brown leather with black (on the front) and tan (on the ear pads) stitching that covers the front of the glasses as well as the ear pads. The gold plated frame is of typically high Ray-Ban quality, and the Leather aviators use the classic aviator design of a double gold nose bridge, the top of one covered in leather, in between the B&L Ray-Ban G-15 lens. The contrast of the gold plated metal with the leather is quite striking, and trust us (we all tried them on) they look great on the face and, in the case of our staff, was universally agreed to make us look much better than we really do. The G-15 lens both have the inscribed BL logo etched in the glass near the hinge points and measure approximately 2.25" x 2.0" at the widest points, and the right lens also has the inscribed Ray-Ban logo. The bottom of the top nose bridge that's leather covered on the top is marked underneath B&L Ray-Ban USA 58 [] 14 impressed in the metal. It's a unique, one of a kind look plus great UV eye protection with the vintage Bausch & Lomb lens.
