Randolph Engineering Sunglasses, DS002, Douglas

Classic aviators never go out of style. And Randolph’s perennial best seller, the Douglas, is a perfect example of the aviator done at its best. This is model DS002 done in dark ruthenium. 140 3P 50 – 18– 145. Preowned, but it doesn’t look like it was worn much so in very good condition. Randolph Engineering, Inc. is still owned and operated by three generations of the Waszkiewicz and Zaleski families along with a highly skilled and dedicated American workforce. For the past 50 years, Randolph Engineering has been driven by the idea that no matter how steep the road, they are always moving forward, striving to be better. That uncompromising spirit was instilled by its founders, Jan Waszkiewicz and Stanley Zaleski, two Polish immigrants who took a chance to follow their dreams. Their dream, to build a company that was engineered on the values of passion and quality. Their commitment to excellence was not just a means to an end, but a way of life. As Peter W., the son of Jan Waszkiewicz, explained, “My father was a stickler for quality, never sacrificing it for margin. He would always say, ‘It takes years to build your reputation but only months to tear it down.”
