A complete reproduction of vintage glasses from the era when they were made with the skills and souls of craftsmen, which cannot be reproduced by today's mechanized factory production. BJ CLASSIC COLLECTION founder Ken Hamada has been trying to go beyond mere manufacturing and recreate the culture and philosophy of that era as the ultimate goal of eyeglass production in Sabae.

With the demand for uniform products in every field and the elimination of uneven individuality, are eyeglasses not also under the same spell? One day, Ken Hamada, the representative of the company, visited the workshop of a Kutani-yaki craftsman and felt the same thing. Each piece of pottery has a different taste and a slight difference, even if they are made from the same material. If only we could express this beautiful appearance in the world of eyeglasses. The beauty of "unevenness" was born after being released from the spell of many years. No two pieces are the same in spite of their delicacy and precision. The glasses that look like a work of art were born after a great deal of time and effort was spared.

BJ CLASSIC COLLECTION's first 8mm extra-thick celluloid glasses. By making full use of the traditional techniques of celluloid craftsmen and incorporating the latest modern technology, we have created glasses that are unique in the world and are comfortable to wear.

Combination type classic glasses combining metal and plastic materials. In particular, the combination of plastic for the front part and metal for the side part and bridge part became a representative work of the BJ CLASSIC COLLECTION.

Titanium, a metal that is the most suitable for eyeglasses with modern technology, is a material that is resistant to metal allergies and rust, maintains light and flexible springiness and strength, and allows flexible fitting adjustment. This titanium processing technology was established by eyeglasses in Sabae ahead of the rest of the world. And the glasses that reproduce the American classic using this titanium will become the PREMIUM series.

CELLULOID, which can only be made by hand by skilled craftsmen, is the most suitable material for eyeglasses with its springiness, strength, and beautiful gloss. It is synonymous with genuine classic glasses from Sabae. BJ CLASSIC COLLECTION's philosophy of "manufacturing what we believe in" is expressed through the use of this difficult and time-consuming material, which has been a challenge since the company's founding.

The model, with its distinctive eyebrow-shaped browline, was created in the 1950s. It began when an officer with thin eyebrows asked for it to be made to give him a sense of dignity. It was then popularized among the U.S. military and quickly spread throughout the world. It is also famous for being worn by Malcolm X, the black liberation leader. In Japan, it took the world by storm in the 1960s and has been loved for a long time since. This "BROW" expresses the good old American craftsmanship while at the same time being made to fit the Japanese face and frame.

In addition to the functional aspect of blocking the glare of sunlight and ultraviolet rays, classic sunglasses that are easy to incorporate into styling regardless of the season.

Polarized sunglasses that can be worn with a single touch on prescription glasses. Polycarbonate polarized light and AR coated (anti-reflection treatment) lens is used to suppress diffuse reflection and improve visibility. Two types are available: flip-up type (FLIP-UP) and front-mounted type (CLIP-ON).

The highline collection features a celluloid frame front decoration that is the culmination of craftsmanship and 10-karat gold homage to the golden rising sun.

Magical glasses that can be used as sunglasses because the lenses are colored by sunlight.
