Story & heritage
The Sam channels Orlebar Brown's eyewear side into a vintage rectangular silhouette inspired by John F. Kennedy and Dickie Greenleaf from The Talented Mr. Ripley.
It is the sharper, more graphic frame in the OB sunglasses lineup.
Materials & craft
The frame uses a 6mm front, custom hardware, five-barrel hinges and hand-painted four-stripe enamel detail, and it is handmade in Italy.
The lenses are Poly Renew, made from 50% recycled plastic.
