Limited Edition Alexander Daas Sunglasses
Anyone who walks a dog every day needs a pair of great-fitting, quality sunglasses, preferably ones with polarized lenses to shield eyes from glare and harmful rays. After years of seeing why customers returned other brands and what people were looking for when they bought glasses at his Chestnut Street store, San Francisco Optics, Alex Feldman decided it was time to put all that knowledge into his own line of high-end eyewear. After three years of development, a limited edition has launched just in time for the holidays (with more sunglasses as well as ophthalmic frames to follow). They fit like a glove, and even the polarized lenses are chic rather than the typical sporty style.

Sammy Hagar Goes Cabo Wabo for SF Optics!
June 30th, 2010 | Posted in * Men's Sunglasses *, Barton Perreira, Blog, Celebrity Sunglasses and Eyewear, Must Have Designer Sunglasses, Must Have Mens Sunglasses and Eyewear, Persol, Salt, Shop Online | 7 CommentsTags: aviator sunglasses, Barton Perreira, Cabo Wabo, Checkenfoot, persol, plastic sunglasses, polarized sunglasses, Robert Marc, rockstar sunglasses, Salt, Sammy Hagar, Sammy Hagar sunglasses, sunglasses, The Red Rocker, The Redrocker, trendy sunglasses, Van Halen, Van Halen Sunglasses, Waboritas
Sammy Hagar, The Red Rocker – a rock and roll icon!
Why?
1) He made it to the mainstream as the frontman for one of the biggest American rock bands ever – Van Halen.
2) After over a decade of that, he continues to rock Sans-Halen with his solo band The Waboritas and with his band Chickenfoot.
3) He founded one of the most popular nightclubs / restaurants – Cabo Wabo Cantinas – a favorite spot in Cabo San Lucas, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas!
4) He gets you tipsy with his brand of premium tequila – Cabo Wabo Tequila.
5) And finally … he gets styled in his eyewear at SF Optics!
That’s right Red Rocker fans! Sammy Hagar just stopped in and got styled in four new pairs of shades!
If you want to be a Red Rocker, here’s the exclusive low down on Sammy Hagar’s sunglasses:
Sammy Hagar got styled in Salt sunglasses, model Stuart, color Shiny Walnut. The Salt sunglasses are stylish and have great polarized sun lenses. They are great for the beach and other activities when it’s really bright since the polarized lenses cut out a lot of the glare.
Sammy Hagar got styled in Barton Perreira sunglasses, model Altair, color Silver with Eden lenses. The Barton Perreira sunglasses are chic with a trendy modified aviator shape. They are great when you just need a cool pair of sunnies to hang out on the strip and eat some lunch, hit the cafe, or go shopping … or when you’re drinking tequila at Cabo Wabo!
Sammy Hagar got styled in Robert Marc sunglasses, model 743, color 267. The Robert Marc sunglasses are trendy yet elegent. The gradient lenses make them perfect for that not so sunny day. Even when the sun is not bright, you must protect your eyes from the UV, and these lenses are perfect for that!
Sammy Hagar got styled in Persol sunglasses, model 2961s, color 811/31. The Persol sunglasses are a great piece to fill the plastic void. Sammy Hagar obviously appreciates the art of accessorizing, and with the other three sunglasses being metal, the fourth had to be plastic to come full circle. These Persols are a great classic shape and the blonde tortoise rocks with Sammy’s hair!
