other info
  • We would not have known this pair was called

    Sun-Mate were it not for this 1964 catalogue

    check it out. It describes the Sun-Mate as a

    "....light fantastic deep curved design with

    featherlight Tru-Tone lenses."
    . We can add

    that it is a sleek rimless design with a classic

    Sixties shape. The catalogue goes on to say

    that the Tru-Tone lenses are a...."neutral grey

    wrap-around lens of lightweight plastic, optically

    perfect, fog-free, transmits colours in true

    values..."
    . They are dark at 18% LTF and the

    uv protection is excellent, 97% at 400 nm.
