Woodies Walnut Wood Sunglasses with Polarized Lens for Men and Women

Product Information

Bamboo is a popular type of wood for wooden shades because it’s the fastest growing plant in the world, making it one of the most affordable and sustainable materials to use.

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. 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.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. While this may not be acceptable to wooden sunglass purists (which, believe it or not, is a category of people that does in fact exist), it does offer a few benefits.

Combining the timeless style of the Clubmaster’s squared off lenses with wood frames in a perfect shade of medium brown, the wood Clubmasters are the O.G. – and worthy of 007 himself. To validate this idea, Mike flew from China with a bag full of watches. I was living in Austin at the time and we went to a party brunch to try to sell some watches. I gave one watch to each of the bartenders for free, then we waited.

Customer reviews

The 6 models have deliciously (and slightly obscure) British names - Alfie, Murphy, Riley, Ollie, Monty, and Hartley. EyeBuyDirect’s Sergi model doesn’t use wood for the full frame. Instead, it combines acetate lens rims with wood arms for a sharp-looking hybrid pair.

Riley - this 60s Aviator inspired design is also made from zebrano wood, but the smooth, rounded edges give them a softer look. This is one of the few “cheat” pairs on this list, meaning that the frame isn’t actually wood at all – it’s a plastic frame that’s designed to look like wood.When we think of fun in the sun, chilling under a palm tree, or hitting that summer music festival, there’s only one pair of shades that comes to mind, the Woodies Polarized Walnut Wood sunglasses. Made with zebra wood arms, on this pair the colorful lenses are set within clear acetate, which help both the wooden shades (and you) stand out. You are your biggest marketing tool especially early on. Be prepared to be the face of your company. 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.
