This is Unwanted Thigh-Wear turned into Luxury Eyewear! A bit more info- I’m 32 years old from Cornwall, England and I’ve been working on this project since 2011 when I came up with the idea. I’ve had full time jobs most of that time, so I’ve been doing this in my spare time. I went on Kickstarter in 2015 with an earlier iteration. It went okay, but not well enough to drop other work. I went back to the drawing board and added all the brass details, flexible temple arms, and the overall quality. I’ve also been working hard at all the photography and stuff which you can see on my website. I’ve gone through hundreds of prototypes and this really has been a bit of an obsession. The only help I’ve had on the way is in the logo design, portrait photography and website. I came up with the idea when I was messing around with carbon fibre and I wondered what would happen if I put denim in the mix instead of carbon! Later on I found out that there is a similar material called Micarta. That’s essentially what the sunglasses frames are made of, the difference I’d like to point out is that these still look and feel like denim in the outside surfaces and are polished smooth on the inside surfaces. I also haven’t carved through the layers like on some micarta things you’ll see. Instead I form 3d curves into the material. The temple arms flex to fit your head and there are several different styles in blue or black denim. Prescription lenses can be fitted by an optician. I’ve spent the last few months getting ready for Kickstarter and I made some videos - Here’s one about me - https://youtu.be/rTP5leVhJd4 - Here’s a 1 minute advert - https://youtu.be/lNX8dB2mWfI And - Check out my Instagram :D - @mosevic_eyewear If you’re here before the Kickstarter launch, you can sign up on my site and I will email youas soon as it launches so you can pre order a pair with over 30% off. For the first 48 hours. After that the price will rise slightly. Thanks for reading! Jack Ps- Mosevic is my middle name. It’s a family name from my Norwegian heritage
