A Closer Look at Vintage Shooting Glasses


Whether you're an actual hunter, or your first name is Hunter, or you simply want a supercool twist on the usual sunnies, you can do no wrong with a pair of vintage shooting glasses, like the marvelous 1920s version below from Etsy.

The amber-tinted lenses heighten contrast when conditions are hazy, overcast or glareful. (You can actually see the effect in the photo -- note the greater clarity of the pearls and starfish behind the glass.)

For stalking big game or living life as fashion shoot, specs like these, or later versions, as illustrated in the ad below, are right on target.

  1. Curiously stylish - and practical too! If you're after more of a rose-tinted effect, we've some rather romantic vintage heart shaped shades, which would be great for Valentine's Day.
