Drift sunglasses are handmade in Chicago using sustainable American hardwood (certified by the venerable Forest Stewardship Council) and planks reclaimed from urban construction sites or harvested from riverbeds. Even the acetate fronts—a nice design touch—use plastic derived from the wood-pulping process. More to the point, they look great. From $398.
