Seems to me late Mr. Moscot is what we call a hustler…

…And seeing as though I’m hustling my way through the same unfair city what better way to be on the up and up then to rock such longlasting frames.

Moscots sell their wildly popular branded eyewear, The ‘MOSCOT Originals’ and ‘MOSCOT Spirit’ collections to fans worldwide. Thankfully I was able to receive my ’ Theroux’ pair complimentary — but free or not free there’s no doubt these frames are it. Sleak, shiny and signed off with the unique flair of originality that most eyewear today lacks I can’t wait to obtain a second pair. The first edition Theroux’s are limited to 300 pieces, with each frame laser numbered for authenticity–as you can see above I have the 14th out of 300.

True Story:
“Named for our friend and long time MOSCOT customer, actor Justin Theroux, this frame is our boldest frame ever — not for the timid! Based on a vintage French frame from the 1960′s that Justin wore for the film, Mulholland Drive, these frames are an exact replica – right down to its extra thick temples, uniquely shaped hardware, hinge plate, five-barrel hinge, bridge and end piece.” via Moscot  moscot2
