PICK YOUR AVIATOR FANTASY

The image burnt in our minds of Douglas MacArthur, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen or even Axl Rose and Slash would not be what it is today without them sporting a pair of aviators. Aviators are the enduring ocular accessories that shout American machismo.

The persistence of aviator glasses since their debut in the 1930s, owes much to two things: function and flair, says James J. Spina, editor in chief of 20/20, a trade magazine for the optical industry. "Everything goes in cycles, but aviator glasses are typically so well made and have such a classic shape that they always come back. Fleeting fashion can't keep a good trend down. Come in and see what we've got - Porsche Carrera, Rayban's, Persol and more sexy Italian shades.

One Easy Piece.

Often revered, sometimes humored and now back in the realm of cool. The one piece for men is back in the mix. Here at Mint Vintage we have a selection of militaria and utility jumpsuits. Think Steve Mcqueen, Top Gun and our very own World land/water speed record holder from the 60s, Donald Campbell. See our inhouse muse, Matty T, model our selection of onesies.
