GOVERNOR'S POOR BOYS Sunglasses Model 40-01
Price: $145.00

In the club rooms of Ivy League colleges, the legacy students, scions of the Eastern Establishment, identified themselves to each other by sporting flesh colored frames that had a straightened top and a rounded rim. Not only did the frames make the wearer seem like a millionaire, but the shape was quite flattering too. These frames were not sold in local stores. You had to go to small boutiques in Newport or the Hamptons to find them. The rich-wannabees drove themselves crazy trying to find out where they could snag a pair so they too could look as if their father and grandfather were alumni. With sarcasim, they named the frame style, "POOR BOYS", and the moniker stuck.
