Moscot suits buyers who want a well-known acetate shape with glass lenses and a good fit. The Lemtosh Sun costs $370 and comes in 24 colors and four sizes, from 44 for narrow faces to 52 for extra wide, which is more sizing than most fashion brands offer. Product photos list G-15, Calibar Green and Mineral Blue glass lenses. The family business says it has been making glasses for 111 years and is now run by the 4th and 5th generations from its Lower East Side roots. Moscot's warranty covers manufacturer's defects for one year on frames, sunglasses and clip-ons, and excludes accidental damage. Express shipping is free over $95. Moscot scores below Persol because of the shorter warranty and higher starting price. We compared documented features and published prices.
