Story & heritage
The 1394 Aviator Sunglasses are sourced by Cutler and Gross to an archive aviator frame from the 1970s, which the brand says laid the foundations for the modern sunglass.
Its squared lenses and double bridge give the aviator format a recognisably Cutler and Gross weight rather than a wire-frame lightness.
Materials & craft
Official copy states that the 1394 is handcrafted from acetate with polished Compass Star pins at the temples.
The double bridge and broad acetate rim make the construction feel architectural, while the squared lenses keep the frame controlled.
How to choose & style
Choose 1394 when a classic aviator feels too thin: it holds its own with leather jackets, open collars and relaxed summer tailoring.
Black on Pink and Solid Light Blue read louder; Granny Chic and dark tones keep the archive shape more understated.
