Re: Vintage Flip Sunglasses
I have a pair of "flip-down" sunglasses worn by Darren Lewis when he was with the Giants (1991 to 1995). The manufacturer is Tiger Eyes. I also have a pair that I used when I was playing amateur league baseball in the 1990s and 2000s, but those do not have a manufacturer listed anywhere on the frames. Both are well-made and appear to be polarized. For what it's worth, I could never get the hang of using them and they were uncomfortable on the bridge of my nose when I flipped them down while chasing a fly ball. It was much easier for me just to leave them down all the time, and I eventually switched to traditional sports sunglasses.
