I’ll say that I thought of this as an idea before thinking of posting it here. Some will believe me. Many probably won’t. I can’t say I blame them. Feel free to mentally replace the pirate type words with 'person with eye-patch'. I just went for the easiest example.
In this age of ozone depletion and rising awareness of eye damage, good eye care is massively important. Sunglasses are a must for the modern, cosmopolitan pirate. Of course, wearing glasses over an eye patch is a serious fashion faux-pas. I mean, they’d just look ridiculous.
Pirate sunglasses are for the buccaneer with a sense of style. There is a perfectly normal lens (UVA and UVB resistant) for the good eye and a curve designed to fit in perfectly with the standard issue eye patch for the other, with a slight added weight to balance the lens side.
Naturally they come in both left and right varieties. Brigands, don’t let yourselves be seen out without them.-- hidden truths, Jun 15 2006 Tinted monocle sun_20monocleBut what self respecting pirate (or any other person for that matter) would go around wearing a monocle [hidden truths, Jun 15 2006] Argghh, not pink me mateys! http://images.amazo...984.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg [skinflaps, Jun 15 2006] Airwolf rules http://www.tv-serie...d.com/airwolf.shtmlairwolf patch glasses [akgeo, Jun 15 2006] Eye patch tinted monocle?-- skinflaps, Jun 15 2006 [bananaman] already corners the market in monocles (see link).-- hidden truths, Jun 15 2006 I seemed to remember that a charactor in the short lived tv series "Airwolf" had patch glasses.
