When I was real little, I wanted very badly to be in the military. My grandparents found a pair of Randolph aviators in a parking lot (this was sometime in the early ’90s). They washed them, bent the frames back into shape and gave them to me. They were humongous on me then, but I have them to this day and they are my favorite pair of sunglasses. And you can’t beat getting them for free, even if it was from the asphalt of a parking lot!
To Jason: AFAIK American Optical is the originator the the more square-ish aviator frame, who introduced it in the late 40s for the military. I believe Ray-Ban introduced their ‘Caravan’ model in ’57 and these days RE is the largest (though not only) supplier of aviators (squared and teardrop) to the US military.
Thank you for this! Not only is it great to see something made in the USA, but I’ve always been fascinated by the way things are manufactured. I’ve been wishing there was a prime-time TV show that covered nothing but how things are made.
I love these. Naturally, polarized will cost you more. I just ordered a pair of Intruders as I left my last pair on a bench in the Virgin America terminal at LAX. i hope whoever finds them appreciates them.
I’ve been a longtime fan of the Randolf Aviators….Haven’t bought a pair in years and was shocked to hear they are going for $100 now! I used to get them from The Pilot Shop for around $60. Crazy. They are worth the $100 tho….classic “never-goes-out-of-style” shades that are well built and will last years if taken care of. Local too!
Randolph Engineering makes sunglasses for everyone from the U.S. military to Mad Men’s Don Draper. Randolph Engineering’s handmade Aviator, Concorde and Sportsman models are perennial favorites, built to exacting specifications in Randolph, Massachusetts. Accompanied by a lifetime guarantee, these sunglasses are the stylish workhorses of NASA astronauts, career pilots and people like designer Michael Bastian, who created a capsule collection of five frames for the label, or J. Crew. Founded in 1972 by Polish engineers Jan Waszkiewicz and Stanley Zaleski, Randolph Engineering started out as an tool and machinery manufacturer for the optical trade; in 1982, the Massachusetts-based company began producing polarized aviator sunglasses for the U.S. Air Force, then offered its wares to the general public. We're ever so glad they did.
Randolph Eyewear is by far the best quality made sunglasses on the market today. They look great on both men and women. I recommend the aviator for men, and the concorde frame for women. The P-3 frame, pictured above, is also a great frame for women. It can look very 70's or vintage style.
Whatever your fashion style is, Randolph has a pair of glasses to match. They cost a little more than RayBans, but they are so much superior quality compared to RayBan. Randolph is the way to go. The U.S. military and NASA pilots depend on them, and you can too.
