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 sarcasm, they named the frame style, "POOR BOYS", and the moniker stuck.

During the Baby-Boom revolution in style, things that smacked of wealth were no longer prized, and the Poor Boys dropped off the radar screen. That is until a few candidates figured out that the sixties were long gone, and then modified the Poor Boy frames by having them custom made in a smaller eye size and a rich, deep honey-toned tortoise shell. The resurrection worked (they got elected). When the size of the rim was reduced, these outstanding frames suddenly became appropriate for both men and women. Because the new iterations of the Poor Boys were custom-made, those who sought them in stores, were still out of luck. That is, until FOCUSERS decided enough is enough. We vowed that from this point forward, no customer of ours will be deprived of governor's poor boys.

If you really want to look as if your father's driver dropped you off to private school in the family's Bentley, order the Governor's in sunglasses. Select the tint color of your choice, and then sit back and watch the peasants stare at you in awe.
