Garrett Leight, the son of Oliver Peoples founder Larry Leight, has branched out to create a namesake brand of his own: Garrett Leight California Optical (GLCO for short). GLCO is laid back, sophisticated, and inspired by his California surroundings. There is a timeless aesthetic to the entire collection. It�s not over complicated, just perfectly executed classic 20th century American styles with a modern twist. Having come from an optical background gives Leight the unique ability to pay attention to the subtle details which makes any frame just that much better: such as the fit, proportion, and comfort. Each frame also boasts some great technical features.
The San Juan is Garrett Leight�s take on the quintessential aviator. The GLCO version adds a twist with the addition of acetate temples, an acetate top-Bar, and vintage glass lenses (which are both polarized and have a back side Anti-reflective coating, to eliminate glare from both in front and behind).
Glass lenses: tough to scratch and provide superb optics.
Polarized lenses: virtually eliminates the effects of glare that bounces off reflective surfaces.
Anti-Reflective Coating: on the inside of lens eliminates distracting bounce back glare.
