This is a great thing, I think everyone feels this information is very valuable, thank you
I had no idea there were this many sunglasses manufacturers in the U.S. I definitely like some of the ones shown here.
I was recently told that Costa sunglasses are made in the United States. Are they?
Why isn’t ArtCraft Optical on this list? They were the original metal frame manufacturer in the United States. They started in 1918 making all american metal frames for WW1 and have never stopped making frames for all branches of the US Military. They even invented the cool retro Clubman sunglass that everyone tries to copy. – Mike
I just recently had to start wearing glasses and so glad there’s so many options for places to buy them. Some are even local to me!
can you make a prototype clear lens pair that had a small sleeve to insert a small lazes light
May I also suggest Saint Rita Parlor? They make truly outstanding eyeglass/sunglass frames, and they do so in the United States.
I have bought from Visionwork and highly recommend them. They are reasonably priced and being USA made it is a huge plus. They have a nice variety too.
My son swears by Oakley sunglasses!
Oakley sunglasses are not made in USA necessarily anymore. When I looked it up it says in 2007 when luxottica bought them out, that they started to be manufactured in places all around the world. That tells me it’s China. It did not specifically say China, but because it wasn’t specific, it was a tell tale sign that China is definitely where they are produced. I will not spend $200 on a pair of sunglasses that were outsourced to China and made for pennies on the dollar.
Oakley are 100% China.
They used to be made in the US. Much higher quality than the glasses we get now from China. Also, warranty has become a joke, and no replacement parts. Oakley is gas station grade trash. Buy American and enjoy quality.
These sunglasses look awesome.
Lowercase Glasses are made in NYC!

Hello Jill,
I have a sunglass brand called NarlyDude™ Sunglasses, I’ve been looking for a more local manufacturer. would you have any information on possible sunglass manufacturer that are based in the USA and are of good quality or higher to share?
Your response will be very appreciated and anxiously waited.
I like to research American Made for every purchase. China has gotten enough of our manufacturing, jobs, and are currentky buying American companies. This is criminal in my mind, and I’ll have nothing to do with it.
My Husband needs new sunglasses, thank you for posting this list.
