Eyewear brand Jacques Marie Mage and hatmaker Nick Fouquet collaborated on a limited-edition collection of sunglasses and hats that pays homage to Southern California. The brands are both based in Los Angeles and their designers have a longstanding friendship, so the collection explores their shared fascination with the American West and prioritization of premium craftsmanship.
The collection features the P.C.H. sunglasses, a love letter to L.A. in the shape of late-‘70s acetate aviators with gradient lenses. It also includes a custom Nick Fouquet hat called the Jackson and two limited-edition hat bands (one made from veg-tan leather and one made from silver).
Only 200 of the glasses are available — 100 in Green and 100 in Lava — and they are available for pre-order at Jacques Marie Mage. The Jackson hat is available for pre-order at Nick Fouquet. Act fast if you want to this unique celebration of the West for yourself — these are sure to sell out quickly.

Jacques Marie MageThe Havana PCH sunglasses feature unique lenses with a triple gradient fade meant to evoke the color of the sky as the sun sets across the Pacific Ocean. The gradient is inspired by a photograph taken by Fouquet as he drove along the coast. To achieve this unique appearance, the lenses are hand-dipped in different ink baths to create both a light and dark gradient, so no matter where the wearer is, they can take the L.A. sunset with them. Made in Japan, they feature arrowhead font pins, a hairline engrave wire core and custom spur-shaped rivets.
