Product Info
Product Appearances
Please understand that no two pieces of wood are identical. Therefore, no two pairs of Tommy Owens products will be exactly alike. Product photos on this website should be used solely as a guide to what a product will resemble, not as an exact representation. Minute differences should be expected in each product’s construction, as minor deviations are inherent to Tommy Owens’s handcrafted manufacturing process. Fortunately, Tommy Owens’s one-by-one product construction guarantees individual attention to detail and quality assurance in every pair of eyewear to leave the shop.
Are Tommy Owens glasses waterproof?
Yes. Our Tommy Owens wooden sunglasses and eyewear are designed to be water-resistant. Through our proprietary finishing techniques, we ensure that your glasses can withstand everyday exposure to moisture, such as rain or sweat.
However, it's important to remember that wood is a natural material. While our glasses are water-resistant, excessive water exposure could potentially cause damage.
So, feel free to wear your Tommy Owens glasses on a rainy day or during a sweaty workout. However, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water, especially submersion.
Do you use sustainable materials to make your glasses?
Tommy Owens sunglasses are handcrafted in our Chicago, Illinois, wood shop. We take great pride in purchasing our wood from authorized and supervised plantations across the globe while instituting daily operational policies directly targeted at minimizing our ecological footprint.
Do Tommy Owens wooden glasses float?
Due to the unique nature of wood and the variations in density among different types, we cannot guarantee that every pair of Tommy Owens sunglasses will float. While some of our sunglasses may have inherent buoyancy, others may not.
