The James by our friends at Mr. Leight redefines what classic American eyewear design should look like. With Japanese craftsmanship, premium materials, and thoughtful details, the James speaks of refined style and enduring quality.

A Classic Shape with Modern Sophistication

James is available in both a traditional ophthalmic style, James C and luxury sunglass, James S. Both styles walk the fine line between nostalgic and contemporary.

Handcrafted in Japan

Each pair of Mr. Leight's glasses & sunglass  frames are handmade in Japan, a country renowned for its eyewear precision. The artisans behind Mr. Leight frames work with premium acetate and titanium, combining them into a design that is both lightweight and enduring.

One standout feature is the flexible coil titanium temple — a discreet engineering detail that keeps the frames from stretching out over time. Add to that the custom riveted pins on the front and the engraved 3-barrel hinge with enamel logo cap, and you have a piece of eyewear that is as much a piece of fine jewelry as it is a functional accessory.

The James by Mr. Leight is  the perfect style for those who appreciate the romance of classic American eyewear but demand the durability, comfort, and subtle luxury of modern craftsmanship. It’s a frame you could wear for years — and it will only get better with time.
