Custom Made Eyeglasses

If the suit you’re wearing is bespoke, why shouldn’t your eyeglasses also be custom-made?  Some people like Oliver Peoples, some people like Cutler & Gross.  We’ve been looking at Urban Spectacles.  Scott Urban of Chicago starts by discussing frame and style of eyeglasses.   Choosing from a variety of made exotic woods (zebrawood! jatoba!), he whittles down a solid block of wood into frames completely crafted by hands.  Spectacles start at $475, going up as far as $500 for special designs.
