Since its launch in 1993, BUZZ RICKSON'S has continued to revive many masterpieces delivered to the U.S. military, and on the occasion of its 30th anniversary, the brand asked craftsmen from American Optical, which has a long history of working with the U.S. military, to produce a collaborative model at its workshop in Illinois, U.S.A. The collaboration model was produced in a workshop in Illinois, U.S.A. As the brand has been reprinting vintage American military clothing, they decided to release "Made in U.S.A." sunglasses with "authenticity. This model is based on the "FG58 (Flight Goggle 58)," which was adopted by the U.S. Air Force in 1958 as sunglasses for pilots. The model is equipped with functions required by pilots, such as straight "bayonet temples" that can be worn while wearing a helmet or headset.
