JULIUS TART OPTICAL AR 22mm Bridge Brown Gradient Eyeglass Frames Reissue
Channel mid-century American style with the Julius Tart Optical AR frame in Brown Gradient. Released as part of the 2023 Spring/Summer line, this colorway draws on the brown gradation used in 1960s American-made eyewear, giving a subtle, timeless finish to a standard Boston-Wellington silhouette.
The AR is Tart Optical's signature model: a faithful, complete reproduction of the legendary Arnel shape. Even the riveted hinges on the front and temples are recreated just as they appeared on the originals. The vintage Arnel carries real Hollywood pedigree; Johnny Depp famously wore the style as a tribute to James Dean, cementing its place in eyewear history.
These brand new optical frames come with a 22mm bridge across three sizes. The 44mm lens size has a 36mm lens height and a 130mm front width. The 46mm lens size features a 38mm lens height and a 136mm front width. The 48mm lens size offers a 40mm lens height and a 141mm front width.
