Just in time for the holidays, Ray Ban has begun to sell a version of Wayfarers made from solid denim. The product of two years of research, these Wayfarers utilize a unique construction method to achieve this look. The glasses are made from 4 to 5 layers of high thread count, thick denim. Actual denim is used resulting in every pair having a slightly unique look. The sheets of denim are sandwiched with a polypropylene and acetate mixture to adhere together and create additional rigidity. The delicate process of precisely layering and fusing the materials together has to occur in a high temperature environment, reaching around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The eyewear is then hand finished. The denim Wayfarers are available for sale now in 6 colors for $199.
