Brass Eye FAQs
A new heirloom design from an older time. Quality safety glasses, beautifully built to last. Pass down the look with the memories made in them.
How did Brass Eye start?
It started with two friends in Chicago woodworking and hating the cheap, shitty safety glasses available and repairing vintage safety glasses to use instead. Then one friend bought a farm in the foothills
of the Appalachians and took those glasses with him.
He wore them as he mended fences, built forts and planted an orchard. His children began connecting those glasses with new
beginnings and hard work and it created a desire to share an iconic look for other craftsmen, professionals and parents to wear too.
So, he decided to start a new-old company. So other craftsman, designers, hobbyists, professionals and parents could have a
beautiful, quality safety glass to wear, make memories with and hand down to others.
Something that could get worn over time, to develop its own special scrapes and patina, so that when your children wear them next, they're continuing a legacy.
What materials are used and where are these made?
The frames are made with luxury grade, natural, hypo-allergenic acetate that is incredibly durable, flexible and lightweight.
We chose acetate because it is light enough to wear all day, strong enough to last for years and will slowly mold to your face to create a look uniquely you.
These glasses were inspired in Chicago, designed in the foothills of Appalachia and manufactured by hand in a close knit community in the PRC.
What is your return and exchange policy?
On the off chance our glasses aren’t the right fit or vibe, returns can be requested within 15 days of receiving your order through our dedicated return portal here.
All glasses and packaging must be in new, undamaged and unworn condition to be eligible for a return.
To use our return portal: simply follow the link, enter your order details, choose the reason for the return and select your preferred return method.
Please note, you are responsible for all return or exchange shipping charges and the cost of a return label will be deducted from your store credit or charged at the time of processing.
Once your return is received, inspected and found in new and undamaged condition, you will receive a refund to your original purchase method.
If you need any assistance whatsoever, our Customer Service Team is available to help via email at returns@brasseye.co
What is your lifetime warranty policy?
Our lifetime warranty policy applies to all claims submitted. To see if you are eligible or to submit a warranty claim, follow the instructions here.
The lifetime warranty only applies to the original purchaser and covers manufacturer defects. Absolutely no warranties, refunds or replacements will be approved for user misuse, abuse, damage, destruction, neglect or lack of care.
So, if you run them over with your tractor or drop them on the driveway or hit them with an axe or leave them outside under hellish weather or shoot them with a gun or put them in a fire or lend them to a careless friend or in any other way shape or form cause the damage, that would obviously NOT qualify for a replacement.
But if we receive the item and the product itself has failed from a manufacturer error, we will absolutely approve your warranty and promptly send you a new pair!
How do I take care of my glasses?
After a hard day’s use, wipe them down, store them in their carrying case and place them in a place where they won’t get smashed, squished, kicked, bitten, stepped on, sat on, spit on or damaged in any other way.
In other words, when not using them, keep them safe but please don’t keep them secret.
