About Us
The Iconic Shape, Reimagined for Today.
Every legend starts with a purpose. In the 1930s, pilots needed protection from the brutal glare of high altitudes. That’s when the first Aviator sunglasses were born — big, teardrop-shaped lenses designed to block sunlight and maximize visibility in open cockpits. They were tools of survival, not fashion statements.
But as the jet age roared in, pilots faced a new challenge: flight helmets, oxygen masks, and faster, more complex aircraft. The original Aviator design wasn’t cutting it anymore. It was too bulky, too curved, too outdated.
The solution? A sleeker, squarer frame built for precision and performance. This new shape fit perfectly under helmets, cleared visors with ease, and reduced visual distortion at the edges. It was rugged, refined, and purpose-built for a new generation of flyers. This was the birth of the Navigator frame — the evolution of the Aviator.
From Cockpits to Culture
The Navigator quickly left the cockpit and took on a life of its own.
- Commercial pilots adopted it.
- Adventurers and outdoorsmen embraced it.
- Everyday people realized its simple magic: a clean, squared-off frame that looks good on everyone.
Over time, competitors turned this practical design into a status symbol — hiking up prices and selling “luxury” at hundreds of dollars a pop.
But the truth?
These were still the same basic glasses.
The same classic shape.
The same performance DNA.
The only thing that had changed was the markup.
Enter CHUCKS: A Revolution at $49
I’ve always believed that the Navigator is the perfect sunglass shape. It’s classic without being old-fashioned, rugged without trying too hard. It’s just right.
CHUCKS takes the timeless Navigator design and makes it for the people:
- Slightly softer edges so it flatters every face shape.
- UV400 polarized lenses to protect your eyes, whether you’re on the water or the road.
- Durable, lightweight frames built to last through adventures, mishaps, and late-night shenanigans.
- And most importantly — a price that makes sense: $49 flat.
No hype. No corporate greed. Just great sunglasses, honestly priced.
So Who Are CHUCKS Made For?
CHUCKS aren’t just for one type of person. They’re for all the purveyors of good times, in every corner of life:
- The ones in the crowd holding their drink up high, making the sign of the horns, and hollerin’ HELL YEAH, BROTHER!
- Wanderers of the wilderwoods, fields, and trails we call God’s Country.
- Weekend warriors recovering on a Sunday at the diner — and for when your sunglasses double as an invisibility cloak.
- The ones who secretly enjoy just getting out there and driving the golf cart with a cold one more than the scorecard.
- The ones so busy doing the things they love, with the people they love, that “Where’s my glasses?” has become a part of everyday life.
From the grassroots working class to athletes, singers, and songwriters, CHUCKS are for the old souls and free spirits, dancing to their own tune and living life on their own terms.
Whether it’s fishin’, floatin’, boatin’… Whether it’s a ride, cruise, sail, stroller push, strut, gallop, ruck, or hike… With CHUCKS, you’re doin’ it right.
We’re here to celebrate the people who live life fully—the ones who know a good day isn’t about perfection, it’s about the moments, memories, and mischief along the way.
Stickin’ it to the Man
For too long, big eyewear brands have treated sunglasses like a luxury item. They mark up their frames to obscene levels and expect you to say “thank you” as you hand over hundreds of dollars.
Not us. Not now. Not ever.
CHUCKS was built to flip the script—delivering premium, polarized Navigators at a price that’s fair and square.
$49. Built for Everyone.
No hype. No games. No luxury markup.
Just honest shades for the people.
Because at the end of the day, sunglasses aren’t meant to be locked behind glass counters or wrapped in velvet pouches.
They’re meant to live life with you — on your face, on your boat, on your wildest nights and your laziest Sundays.
Our Promise
Designed to be the glasses that look good on everybody, so, if you have a face, CHUCKS are for you. And if you don’t love ‘em? Send ‘em back. No questions asked.
So please, for the love of all that’s holy, forget about those greedy glasses companies and sport a pair of CHUCKS.
The Final Word
These aren’t just sunglasses.
They’re a reminder.
A reminder that you don’t have to play by someone else’s rules.
A reminder to chase sunsets, not markups.
A reminder that life’s too short to wear boring, overpriced shades.
CHUCKS are here to make you look good, feel good, and live good—without draining your bank account.
When you wear CHUCKS, you’re not just protecting your eyes. You’re joining a movement—one that laughs in the face of greed and celebrates the beautiful, chaotic, perfectly imperfect ride we call life.
So grab a pair, make some memories and as always...
