Moscot eyewear
sun and spectacle, the perfect couple
Liev Shreiber Wears the Moscot Lemtosh-TT SE in The Perfect Couple on Netflix
I first came across these frames while watching the TV show, The Perfect Couple, on Netflix. I enjoy Liev Shreiber on screen, however, his character in this show is not his usual - there’s no Ray Donovan tough guy essence here. That being said, his style is impeccable. Casual yet dapper, classy with a dash of rakishness, he shouts premium gentleman’s style.
moscot, an eyewear brand with history
The frames worn by Shreiber in the show form part of the ORIGINALS collection from Moscot, a New York based family business that has specialised in the excellence of eyewear for over 100 years. Their frames are simple, classic and timeless, with the story of the family business that spans 5 generations is infused into the brand’s designs. You can feel the history on your face and there is something to be said for the knowledge and skill that has been carried through the family business over the years, it is something that quite simply cannot be replicated without time and dedication - this, makes the brand feel special.
Lemtosh Sun - Black
superior Framework
Moscot have a wide array of eyewear frames for both sun and spectacle, all focussed on classic styles with the brand’s innate dash of elegance. The brand uses a variety of materials to create its frames, from premium Italian crafted acetate to metal and titanium, often combining materials in an eyewear piece to build a stylish juxtaposition of frame elements.
One aspect I really like about the brand is that they offer a broad selection of materials and lens options for each frame, allowing one to create a unique piece of eyewear suited to your own individual style. From full colour lenses to gradient tints and clip-ons for spectacles to an exciting array of acetate colour-ways, there is a wide and eclectic variety to choose from.
Lemtosh Sun - Flesh
The devil is in the details too with Moscot, as the brand is aware that their signature styles may need to be adapted to afford the wearer a diverse range of experiences with the same pair of glasses. For example, the Lemtosh Sun frame offers a “sport” option featuring shatterproof polarised lenses, adjustable cable temples and rubber nose pads.
Lemtosh Sport - Crystal
Why buy them?
The brand is timeless, the styles are too and you can’t really go wrong with a family owned business that has proved its worth for over a century. Moscot eyewear has stood the test of time and looks to maintain its presence in the eyewear business as a stylish and classic fashion piece - much like your next pair.
