Brooks Collection

Inspired by the clean, intellectual lines of mid-century Americana, the Brooks was one of the original designs that put GLCO on the map. It captures the exact moment where the "classic" eyewear of the past meets the "relaxed" culture of the present. By combining the structure of a heritage frame with the lightweight, sun-drenched palette of Southern California, the Brooks has become more than a best-seller—it is the definitive expression of the Garrett Leight aesthetic.

Design & Artistry

Cured Cellulose Acetate: The Brooks is sculpted from high-grade cellulose acetate, which is cured for several months to ensure the material is stable, durable, and holds its luster over years of wear.

Five-Barrel Hinge System: Engineered with a robust five-barrel hinge and genuine pin rivets. This traditional assembly method provides a solid, weighted feel and allows for precise adjustments by a professional optician.

Keyhole Bridge Geometry: Designed with a classic keyhole bridge that distributes the weight of the frame along the sides of the nose rather than the top, offering a more comfortable, "airy" fit for various bridge shapes.

Core Wire Reinforcement: A custom-engraved internal metal core wire runs through the temples, providing the necessary structural integrity to maintain the frame's shape and allow for a personalized fit behind the ears.

Glass or CR-39 Optics: GLCO utilizes high-clarity sun lenses with premium anti-reflective coatings to ensure visual precision and 100% UV protection.
