easyriderApart from being the title of a very famous American movie, Easy Rider is the name of one of the most sold models of glasses of Baruffaldi’s collection. In this post, we would like to show you how this crown jewels of ours, entirely hand made in Italy and practically eternal thanks to the availability of replaceable parts, is made.

The metal frame of this model is made of fifteen small parts welded together by a specialized Italian company located in the Veneto region, which has been working with us for the last ten years and that has made care for details its strength.

ponteThe obtained frame needs a chromium plating treatment and the mobile parts need to be lubricated, in particular the bridge, which needs lubrication in order to easily adjust to the individual features of the person who will wear the glasses. A detail, that of the bridge, which as you know makes the difference!

Having performed all these operations the frame comes out of its axis, and it is necessary to readjust it with great care when registering the frame on your face to make it adhere at its best.

At this point the lenses, which have previously gone through numerically controlled molding machinery, are inserted. Every Easy Rider pair of glasses produced by Baruffaldi is sold with two kinds of lenses that are interchangeable as per the client taste. The lenses available are smoked, light, yellow and photo chromatic; these are sold in pairs matching the color and the model of Easy Rider.

cuscinoOnce frame and lenses are mounted together most glasses would be finished, but Easy Rider was designed to be worn for long hours of travelling without causing discomfort or unease.  To this end, a soft leather pad is mounted on the glass frame. All the leather we mount in our glasses is of high quality. This gives our products not only an incredibly beautiful aspect, but also a good handling. When gently rubbed the leather rapidly regains its natural softness even after having been worn for long hours. Your comfort, especially while travelling, is always at the center of our thoughts.

We cut a set size of leather that is then assembled, with a leather sewing machine and filled in with previously cut special Memory Form foam, in our laboratories. A string gasket in polycarbonate secures the padding to the frame.

Once the pad is mounted on the glasses it’s done, the glasses are ready!

What do you do if you suddenly desire to change look? In the kit package there are two clips in PVC that help to remove the pad and change the lenses. Please, bear in mind that it is better not to play with the clips or change the lenses more than daily. Together with the glasses, you will find an elastic band, included in the kit, which you can fix on the earpieces to better secure the glasses to your face.

As you can see Easy Rider is the result of a professional manual work, several skilled craftsmen put their expertise together on working leather and metal to produce a real jewel!

You have to try it to believe it!
