DUFFY - Sun

DUFFY

NAMED FOR A TOUGH OLD IRISH BARTENDER NEAR MY HOME TOWN. I USED TO GO TO DUFFY’S AS A KID WITH MY DAD AND SIT ON A BAR STOOL THERE WITH MY OWN LITTLE GLASS OF BEER AND LISTEN TO THE BOXING STORIES.

DUFFY WAS A TOUGH OLD GUY AND SO IT THIS FRAME… IT IS ROUNDED ON THE TOP LINE TO FOLLW THE BROW AND THE LEFT / RIGHT LENSES ARE LINKED BY A TAPLE TOP NOSE BRIDGE : KEYHOLE UNDERNEATH.

IT’S ABOUT A 46MM LENS THAT SITS TALL AND WHILE ROUNDED.. REALLY DOES HAVE THAT “SQUARE CHIN” ON THE BOTTOM. A KIND BUT TOUGH FRAME TO BE SURE.

THE RIM ITSELF IS DEFINED BETWEEN 1.6 MM TV CUTS AND OUTSIDE SKIVING. THE TEMPLE IS SQUARE HEADING BACK AND TAPERS DOWN TO THE SHAPEABLE BOW. THE PONT OF TAPER DIFFERS TOP AND

BOTTOM : FINISHED AT THE END WITH SQUARED – OFF TEMPLE TIPS.
