You who wear our frames in the street, at work, with your friends, on vacation. You. Yes, our name is TommyOwens, but our brand is you. We make our frames with such attention to detail because we know that’s what you expect. When you dress up to go to work, or make a first impression, or dazzle the world with your beauty for a nice night out, our frames are the first thing people see when they look into your big blue eyes. And at that moment, nothing else matters to us except making sure you feel as incredible to wear the frames as we feel creating them.

Please understand that no two pieces of wood are identical. Therefore, no two pairs of TommyOwens products will be exactly alike. Product photos on this website should be used solely as a guide to what a product will resemble, not as an exact representation. Minute differences should be expected in each product’s construction, as minor deviations are inherent to TommyOwens handcrafted manufacturing process. Fortunately, TommyOwens one-by-one product construction guarantees individual attention to detail and quality assurance in every pair of eyewear to leave the shop.

General

• Heat the glasses for 20-30 seconds at a temperature around 285°F/140°C. This will allow the wood to become soft and malleable.


• It’s best to start heating the largest areas of the glasses first and then move on to the smaller parts.

• Use cold water or hold the glasses in the desired position for a short time in order to cool the frames after every bend.



Base Curve

• Bend carefully in small stages and try to distribute the pressure equally with your fingers.

Temple


• Never bend against the grain of the wood (up and down)


• When bending adjustable wood frames, little force will go a long way. Start small remember that this material is wood and not plastic.

1. Rinse your glasses under warm water, our wooden eyewear is water-resistant.

2. Gently wipe dry using a clean microfiber or lint free cloth.

3. If no cloth is available, use a shirt sleeve or soft fabric rather than napkin or paper towel which may scratch the lens.

4. Air dry for 15 minutes.

As each pair of TommyOwens wood sunglasses is unique and wood density and buoyancy will vary from pair to pair, we cannot guarantee that all TommyOwens glasses will float.

Through our proprietary finishing techniques, TommyOwens glasses are water-resistant and will not be affected by sweat or other small amounts of water. Excessive water exposure, including - but not limited to - submersion, may cause glasses to warp. 

TommyOwens sunglasses are handcrafted in our Chicago, Ill wood shop. We take great pride in purchasing our wood from authorized and supervised plantations across the globe, while instituting daily operational policies directly targeted at minimizing our ecological footprint.
