The Po0714 is the exact same (timeless) style that McQueen rocked all those years ago. They were the first-ever foldable glasses when they first came onto the scene in the 1960s, designed with hinges at the bridges and on the temples so they can fold in half. The 714s, in particular, with Havana frames and crystal blue polarized lenses, were McQueen’s preferred specs, and he can be seen wearing them in his most famous films such as “Bullitt,” “The Getaway” and “Le Mans.” Since then, the iconic sunglasses have been an overall Hollywood favorite, donned by countless style icons throughout the years such as Anthony Bourdain and Jack Nicholson.
You get what you pay for with Persol, who handcrafts each of their glasses in Italy. Thoughtful design touches such as the brand’s legendary arrow hinges and Meflecto stems will make you feel like a million bucks.
