Oakley’s Sutro keeps its shield in a four-sided rim, because apparently even a lens needs bureaucracy. That frame gives the broadest cover in the Sutro line; Sutro Lite sheds it for fewer grams. Plutonite blocks 100% UV, the useful bit amid the marketing hymns. Volos.
Oakley Sutro Rectangular Sunglasses: Here they are by Agios Nikolaos on the promenade, a church credited to Aristotelis Zachos, because even piety needs an architect and, presumably, an invoice. Humanity looked at the sea and decided what it really needed was more paperwork in stone.
Oakley Sutro Rectangular Sunglasses: The Volos railway station was drawn by Evaristo de Chirico, and his son Giorgio de Chirico was born in this town, proving trains can deliver both passengers and art-history footnotes. Someone got paid to design the station; everyone else got the timetable.
Oakley Sutro Rectangular Sunglasses: At Tsalapatas, the old rooftile and brickworks keeps its kilns and chimneys as a museum, because nothing says progress like preserving the places where people sweated for wages. Still, nice brickwork; misery does tend to age well.
Oakley Sutro Rectangular Sunglasses: The Athanasakeio Archaeological Museum dates to 1909 and holds finds dug from around the gulf, because humans bury things, forget them, then charge admission to look impressed. Archaeology: the long con of losing your own stuff.
The full-rim Sutro. Rim all the way round the lens, the big flat shield, the look everybody has an opinion about. Let me save you some time: the opinion is not the product. The rim does something.
It holds the lens on all four sides, which means the shield is supported around its whole edge, and it gives you the fullest coverage in the family — Sutro Lite drops the bottom rim and gets lighter, this one keeps it and gets more complete. That is the actual trade.
Everything else said about how these look is people talking about themselves.
The lens is Plutonite, which filters one hundred per cent of UVA, UVB and UVC and harmful blue light out to 400 nanometres. That claim is true, it is not hedged, and it is genuinely the reason to buy sunglasses — a fact that gets almost no attention next to the styling, which tells you everything about what people actually shop for.
The Prizm range on this frame runs Black, Jade, 24K, Road, Sapphire, Trail Torch, Snow Sapphire and Field, and it comes in L and XL, so the enormous version exists for those committed to the bit. The nose pads are Unobtainium, gripping harder as they get damp, which is the one piece of design in eyewear that I have never been able to be cynical about.
Volos will suit anybody who has noticed that the interesting story is usually standing behind the famous one. The railway station here was drawn by Evaristo de Chirico — an engineer, a competent one, whose son Giorgio was born in this town and became one of the most influential painters of the century.
Everybody comes for the son.
The father built the station the town still uses. Draw your own conclusions; I have drawn mine several times.
You will wear these everywhere from a bright day on the gulf to a long evening on the promenade, and while you are here — the church of Agios Nikolaos on the seafront was built by Aristotelis Zachos, an architect who bothered to work in a manner that belonged here rather than importing one wholesale, which was not the fashion and cannot have made his life easier.
Then the Tsalapatas rooftile and brickworks, kilns and chimneys kept as a museum, which is to say a factory that survived by becoming a display of itself. And the Athanasakeio Archaeological Museum of 1909, full of what has been dug out of the ground around the gulf. Naturally the ground had it all along.
"The rim is not a style question. It holds the lens on four sides. Everything else people say about the look is about themselves."
