The same frame Uncle Heshy wore. The same one Andy Warhol picked off the shelf.

 The Miltzen has been in production since the 1930s named for Uncle Heshy, who everyone called "Miltzen." A round, full-vue silhouette in Italian acetate that hasn't needed adjusting in nearly a century, because it was right from the start. Warhol lived in the Lower East Side and walked into the Moscot shop on Rivington Street. He left with the Miltzen. It became part of his image. It became part of the culture.

Tobacco is the Miltzen at its most natural a warm, deep brown acetate that reads differently in every light. The kind of colour that photographs well, ages better, and suits more faces than any neutral has a right to.

The optical frame that earns its price without explaining itself.

Three sizes. Italian acetate. No shortcuts on a frame this old or this considered. The Miltzen is prescription-ready from the first wearing shaped to hold a lens as well as it holds its history. 244 reviews from people who already know what they bought.

Comes with the MOSCOT case, tote bag, and Minitrunk. And a pair of Clipzen magnetic sunclip lenses if you want both in one.
