PRO TIP: If you visit a Chinese factory, ask politely to the use the bathroom. They will have to oblige, and if you find a really messy, disgusting bathroom, then it’s definitely a red flag. Not only are the frames sustainable and handcrafted, they also understand that comfort and eye protection are both very important. The lenses of Woodsies sunglasses are UV protected and polarised, and they use flexible stainless steel hinges for durability. It combines the timeless and sophisticated cool of Clubmasters with oak, which is one of those types of wood that provides a rugged earthiness. Adding polarization to a pair of regular sunglasses can be expensive, and sometimes the results aren’t that good. That’s because when sunglasses are made, the polarizing filter is made to precisely fit the lens and its specifications.

Different styles of sunglasses give off different vibes, and a pair of wooden sunglasses usually makes the wearer look more casual. Woodies is one of the more popular bamboo sunglasses brands, but this hybrid model provides a different look: As long as you don’t scratch the surface, or you damage and peel off the polarizing film covering the lenses, you shouldn’t notice any changes. Polarization reduces glare and helps you see details in harsh direct sunlight, that usually you wouldn’t. That’s why polarized sunglasses are great for driving, fishing, skiing and a variety of other activities.Many of the wood frames on this list were inspired by classic Ray-Ban designs, but this is one of the few pairs of wooden sunglasses actually made by the iconic company itself. These wood versions of the company’s rounded Clubhouse shades, subs out the usual acetate for a light colored wood, resulting in a hip summer-ready pair of shades that feels very of the moment. They boast a clear frame, which is very popular at the moment, polarized anti-reflective lenses that are also UV-protected, and their signature wood temples, which are handmade from real walnut wood. The 6 models have deliciously (and slightly obscure) British names - Alfie, Murphy, Riley, Ollie, Monty, and Hartley. Price wasn’t the most important consideration. It really came down to a comfort level with the supplier. The rep that I would work with closely spoke great English, they presented themselves well, they showed me their equipment and let me tour the factory while they were in production.

I absolutely love the way these sunglasses fit my face. (I gravitate toward larger frames, so these are the perfect size for me.) They’re designed in a square silhouette with silver details at the temples and Woodies' signature wooden arms. According to the brand, each pair features different striations in the wood, making them unique to every buyer. The lenses are also polarized and offer 100% UVA and UVB protection (says the brand) — a detail I love, since I live in always-sunny Los Angeles and am constantly looking for ways to protect myself against harmful ultraviolet rays. Murphy - made from sustainably sourced zebrano wood, this classic style is made unique because of the stripes in the wood. You are your biggest marketing tool especially early on. Be prepared to be the face of your company. Are you looking to hire for certain positions right now? And speaking of color, while most men’s wooden sunglasses come in various shades of brown, you don’t automatically have to turn to plastic sunglasses if you’re looking for a little color. That’s not an exaggeration. These sunglasses are actually unisex, so they can be worn by anyone! But I will say that the silhouette is a bit on the smaller side, so they may not fit larger faces as well.

Having less light reaching your eyes, however, means that visibility in gloomy weather will be limited with polarized lenses. If wearable magnification wasn’t enough of a benefit, how about built-in lights? Just like a surgeon, who needs both hands to operate and absolute clarity of vision, Mighty Sight has two powerful LED lights built into the frame at either corner. The LED lights are unobtrusive so won’t be easily noticeable but, with the press of a button, will instantly give you two bright, white headlights that shine a clear, personal patch of light onto whatever you need to see and wherever you turn to look but without disturbing others around you. Fits over your prescription glasses The result is a pair of wood frames that’s based on one of the most classic sunglass styles of all time, but feels totally fresh and unique. But the dark ebony color used here really elevates these frames, making them perfect to pair with a summer suit.

Another pair that owes its design template to Ray Ban, this classically shaped pair from 4EST (get it?) should satisfy anyone in the market for wood wayfarer sunglasses.

I’ve got a great reddit post which I wrote all about this. What have been the most influential books, podcasts, or other resources? It still allows you to see the grain of the wood underneath, resulting in a unique style that combines the ruggedness of wood with a fun pop of color.
