The Original Pilot has been manufactured in Massachusetts since 1958, remaining a favourite amongst pilots. You can get them in various combinations of glass or polycarbonate lenses, frame finishes and temple styles, but the formula remains the same: high-quality optics, sturdy metal frames and timeless design. It’s these qualities that earned them a spot on Apollo 11 and a permanent display case in the Smithsonian. Own a piece of history starting at $US42. [Optics Planet via Gear Patrol]

I'm sorry, but I (am more than likely you, and everyone else on here) am not that cool. Takes a whole lot of cool to pull of the Aviator style if you are not a pilot.
Wow, made right *here* in the USA. Awesome.
Wow, I'm in such a snarky mood! Wishing I could CTRL+Z that comment now
exactly what I was thing too...
This is Australia, not America so I think you ment - made 'over there' in the USA.
Another person who failed geography in school.
I love how Americans go on about things being made there. Like we're gonna clap or something
Own a piece of history?
Oh wait my LV shades are..800 bucks @ LV Bondi
Now that's history
You mean your $800 is history
I feel sorry for anyone that feels they need to pay $800 for sunnies, even more so for stating it here.
Yep it is proven sunglasses over $89 is just brand price.
That just reads like a paid advertising slot.
