Native Tavern Polarized Sunglasses
Native Tavern Polarized Sunglasses combine relaxed everyday styling with outdoor-ready polarized optics. Inspired by Native’s Wells frame, the Tavern uses thin frame cross sections to keep weight down while CUSHINOL™ rubber at the temple tips adds nonslip grip. Polarized polycarbonate lenses help reduce reflected glare, and the lightweight bio-based resin frame is suited to fishing, boating, beach days, travel, and everyday outdoor wear. The Tavern is a medium-size frame with a narrow fit and Base 6 lens curve. Available from Frank & Fran’s in Avon, NC, with nationwide shipping.
