For sale is a pair of Cult Eyewear Fairmount frames in Demi-Blonde, size 22-49-151.
The Fairmount is widely regarded as one of the most faithful modern recreations of the Universal Optical Mansfield Square F-770, the frame worn by James Dean. Cult spent years researching original vintage examples, period advertisements, and surviving frames to reproduce the Mansfield’s distinctive details, including the signature bowtie rivets and period-correct proportions.
The Demi-Blonde acetate is the color most closely associated with Dean’s own glasses, and Cult also offers a matching historically inspired clip-on sunglass attachment for those looking to recreate the complete 1950s look.
These frames are handmade, unworn,and in new condition. They have 0+ factory lenses installed.
I’m selling them only because I’ve determined that I need a different size after spending far more time researching the original Mansfield sizing than any reasonable person probably should.
If you’ve been looking for one of the most historically accurate James Dean-inspired frames available today, these are an excellent opportunity to skip the wait for a new bespoke pair.
