Spearheaded by Jack Kerouac's seminal�On The Road�in 1957 and movies like�The Beatniks�and�Beat Girl�in the following years.��The 1392 takes inspiration from the uniform of The Beatniks thick-rimmed glasses. cigarette trousers and roll-neck jumpers. This squared round style is a perfectly proportioned optical that is wholly unisex and coolly understated. design flourishes such as our frontal Oyster Pins hammer home the vintage feel.
