Sunglasses that embody ideas. What is Scye SPECS' "JEAN-PAUL SUN"?

Quietly,

Yet it is eyewear that leaves a strong impression.

This time we will be introducing the new sunglasses "JEAN-PAUL SUN" from Scye SPECS. We will take a closer look at the background behind the design and the appeal of the product.


■ Jean-Paul: A symbol of intelligence and rebelliousness

The model name "JEAN-PAUL" is a name that symbolizes the intelligence, freedom, and rebellious spirit reminiscent of the Left Bank culture of Paris in the 1950s and 1960s.
It is inspired by the minimalist aesthetic of Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean-Luc Godard, and other artists and philosophers of the time.

Rugged and military-inspired, yet elegant. These sunglasses quietly express their thoughts.


■ Design base: 1950s US military "9* BCG frame"

The prototype for this product is the "9* BCG Frame," a pair of eyeglass frames issued to the US military in the 1950s, which were designated by model numbers such as "9A" and "9B."

Although these glasses were commonly referred to as "Birth Control Glasses," their ruggedness seems somehow clean, straightforward, and stripped of all ornamentation when viewed today.

At Scye SPECS, we pay homage to this "military frame,"

  • Sharp, straight brow line

  • Classic rim with just the right thickness

  • It has been reconstructed in a modern way using lightweight and tough titanium material and finished as a ``JEAN-PAUL SUN'' watch.


■ Beautiful design that enhances the wearer's intelligence

These sunglasses are more than just a vintage look.
Its distinctive feature is its "quiet presence."

・The smoke-toned lenses don't emphasize the eyes too much. ・The bridge design is excellent, fitting naturally to the facial structure. ・The balance of straight lines and curves gives an intellectual impression.

These glasses are truly "wearable" and blend seamlessly into your outfit, adding a distinct touch of individuality.


■ Scye SPECS × GLOBE SPECS: The intersection of clothing and eyewear

This project was made possible through a collaboration between Scye and the renowned Japanese retailer GLOBE SPECS.

Scye, who breathes life into clothing patterns, and GLOBE SPECS, who are experts on vintage eyeglasses from around the world, have come together to create products like "JEAN-PAUL SUN."

All production is carried out in workshops in Japan , with no compromises made in material selection, design, polishing, or fitting adjustments.


■ JEAN-PAUL SUN styling suggestions

The appeal of these sunglasses is that they are easy to coordinate with other items. Just by standing up a little, you can elevate your style.

Pair it with elegant and casual items for a relaxed, Parisian look.

Wear a T-shirt and slacks for a "thinking military" look.

Pair it with black denim and a leather jacket for an urban, quiet strength.

Wearing it gives you a new perspective. This is a piece that will give you that styling experience.
