JS Jack Tortoise

The JS Jack was inspired by John F. Kennedy. Between the escalating threat of war and the social rights movement, JFK entered the presidency during a tumultuous time in U.S. history. With any political figure, it’s easy to point out flaws and mistakes based on personal ideology and political views, but JFK’s contribution was far greater than any political accomplishments we may credit him. He brought hope and optimism to the American public with his positive attitude and message for peace. He called upon us to be our best by working together, and he inspired many, just as he still does today.

A classic Italian tortoise frame with yellow gold accents make for a well-balanced combination in the JS Jack Tortoise. The gloss Havana finish creates an elegant and distinguished appearance, and polarized gray lenses bring a modern touch to a timeless design.

The frames are crafted from a high-grade Italian cellulose acetate, and each frame is individually hand-polished and assembled. German-engineered 5-barrel hinges and screws are used to retain smooth movement for years to come, and a wire core extends from hinges to support temple shape.
