In 2018, I purchased a pair of Jet Black eyeglasses from Warby Parker<\/strong><\/a> called Moriarty<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those frames were my favorite glasses I\u2019d ever owned. While traveling, I received quite a few compliments regarding them from random people at the most unexpected of times. Those glasses were so different from any other pair I had ever seen before.<\/p>\n

Their style and uniqueness really made them stand out. They were easy to recognize because of how unusual they were. I recall approaching 2 or 3 strangers who I spotted wearing Moriarty while out and about. It was a nice way to break the ice and bring a smile to a stranger’s face by pointing out that we both wore the same specs.<\/p>\n

Fun fact:<\/b> Moriarty was worn on television by drag queen Aiden Zhane<\/b><\/a> on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moriarty frames from Warby Parker<\/strong><\/a> were very comfortable to wear and I enjoyed their style. The glasses were built from both metal and acetate. They featured thin metal arms and a rounded black acetate frame, finished with a silver accent lining the top.<\/p>\n

To say I loved those glasses would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

Then, in October 2019, I came across some VERY SAD NEWS.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Warby Parker<\/a> had stopped manufacturing Moriarty<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

How did I find out? I was trying to re-purchase my glasses in a tortoiseshell colorway known as Burnt Lemon Tortoise.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I realized that I could no longer buy my glasses, my priority switched to preservation mode and I wanted to buy another pair of Jet Black Moriarty just in case<\/i> something happened to the pair I normally wore.<\/p>\n

I am not exaggerating when I tell you I scoured the internet to find those glasses.<\/p>\n

I contacted Warby Parked begging them to bring back those glasses.<\/p>\n

I was so invested in them that they even directly spoke to me in one of their official videos about the glasses on YouTube.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
