Inspired by classic aviator frames that were worn in the driving seat, the Reed model has subtle motoring features and a design that’s reminiscent of the heyday of automotive design, the 1960s. With its filled-in bridge and curvaceous lines, there are equal amounts of boldness and nonchalance that come with wearing this frame.
