What About the Frames?


If the suit you're wearing is bespoke, why shouldn't your eyeglasses also be custom-made? Some people like Oliver Peoples, some people like Cutler & Gross. We've been looking at Urban Spectacles. Scott Urban of Chicago starts by discussing frame and style of eyeglasses. Choosing from a variety of made exotic woods (zebrawood! jatoba!), he whittles down a solid block of wood into frames completely crafted by hands. Spectacles start at $475, going up as far as $500 for special designs.
