High Fashion Mod. 1729 – Italian Metal VINTAGE Aviator w/New, Custom Violet Grey Lenses

Vintage High Fashion Mod. 1729 – Italian Metal Aviator – Deadstock – Custom Violet Grey Lenses – 57-17

Description:

Clean lines. Solid metal. No-nonsense attitude.

This High Fashion Mod. 1729 is a sharp, squared aviator built in Italy and made to last. Gold-tone metal construction with a black enamel brow bar and heavy-duty hinges. It’s the kind of frame that doesn’t try too hard—it just gets the job done.

Era & Relevance:

Late 1980s to early 1990s—a time when frames were bold, masculine, and built with real presence. Worn by men who meant business, this design holds up decades later with that same unapologetic edge. These were never mass-market. They were made for guys who lead, not follow.

Deadstock – never worn.
