    Moscot is a brand from New York, but their eye/sunglasses are actually made in China. It's confirmed in magazine B in interview section, Joel Moscot stated that Moscot has a factory in remote part of China for more than 40 years that manufacture Moscot eye/sunglasses by hand, but all parts are made in Germany, France, and Italy. And finally all of outputs in China are sent to New York for final quality control test

    We can all agree pay for glasses 300 while you can by identical copy for 6$ yeah I bought it for $6 at 1st I was skeptical, but when I got glasses I was amazed by quality , I mean 6$ and I watched videos about fake vs original and I can tell more thing.. they compare orange with orange.. I don't why even think to pay 300 for glasses that cost to make 0.50 or even less.. I paid 6$ in the price included shipping from china! also they are resellers.. so imagine they sold it for 6$ minus shipping so what they got 4$ + taxes.. so for them left 3$ they paid fee as seller on website.. so they left with 2$ they bought from somewhere in China I think they paid 0.5 per glasses.. so imagine how much Moscot earn.. it is basically nonsense to even think to pay 300.. I would not even consider to pay 50 for originals I have $6 moscot glasses that looks like 99% identical.. no one could tell it is fake also I don't care if lose them.

      @@honestview I mean the lettering is the same, the metal inserts on the sides were also sharp in the older originals, and flat screws were used as well. To me, as far as I can see on the screen ( and I can not see clearly enough here, so may be mistaken), these are two Lemtosh produced by two different Chinese factories, and the tortoise ones look like a factory reject due to the sides being not flush. I just wanted to say that outside of the obvious cheap double fakes it's often not easy to tell a counterfeit Moscot, partly because as with many such products "fakes" are simply the items stolen from the same factory and flogged on eBay. Or indeed stolen rejects due to some defects. But you can't tell if a Lemtosh is fake or not by just looking at the inscriptions, as they wary wildly. I have the tortoise Lemtosh bought years ago in a Moscot shop and the lettering is exactly as on your fake ones.

    Thank you for this! It's pretty alarming how good the fakes are getting these days. They're even better than when you made this 7 years ago. They've got the lettering nearly exact, except it's still painted on--not engraved into the resin stems. I almost got duped by current offerings available. It used to be that auction sites in Japan were really good at weeding out fakes, but apparently they've got them as well. All of the telltale signs you've shown here? Those listings have the same ones. You really have to be careful!

    I have my opinion, moscot is famous brand because of its famous castings like Johnny deeply mainly and others of Hollywood, but the brand does not own its own factory and is being dependent of China, China? That's right, that's right !, and that's where the fragility of the brand hangs, some may be perceived as bad replicas made and others could hardly be identified.

    I bought the copies not realizing they were anything but a cheap repop of Tart Arnels. I figure if Ilike the cheap ones I'll buy the bigger buck real deals even if they are from China if I like my $50 specials in appearance.
    If you want a real deal US pair of glasses, buy Shuron glasses, the Resir ZYL is almost unchanged since 1952. Just soft nose pads I believe. I bought Rensir ZYL glasses frames for around $100 from my optometrist from Shuron. Great glasses, classic look and still made in USA. No need to spend $170 for a pair of Chinese RayBans or Oakleys. Get the REAL DEAL - Shuron.

      The matter of fact is most of frames are of good quality these days. I don't wear "design brand", but what I use is a descent one. I don't work on construction, but I don't see how it make any different. No glasses get scratch on them just because they are used on a construction site. If there is no scratches, its not because of their superior quality. You of all should know that on a construction site you should be wearing safety glasses. If you have problem with people expressing their opinion, you can disable comments.

      Exactly!! who cares if you use an iPhone or a $50 android clone from china, or if you wear Genuine Levis or the ones that rip after a single use... No one cares about you nor your lack of taste... but you know who cares... The one whom values quality of life and himself enough to get the original and feel the quality...
      It's up to you, do you want to be cheap and fake, or value yourself.
      p.s. there is a big difference if you indulge in quality, but if you never had quality you would not know what to look for, and perceive that they look the same.
      Same as drinking a $1000 bottle of wine and a $2 bottle of wine, they both look the same both have alcohol in them... and if you are clueless you would think they are the same, but if you really are clueless, I recommend you buy the cheap shit, because any quality will be lost on you.
