BOB BROWNS: BB04 a

Sale price£425.00

The BB04 model draws its initial design cues from late 1950’s Madison Avenue art directors and Greenwich Village Jazz style. Our homage to this timeless shape evolves the silhouette away from a retro look streamlining the bridge and curving and sweeping the temples to create a modern frame that is versatile, wearable and elegant just as at home worn with workwear or military vintage as it is with the finest bespoke suit.
