Checking It Twice: Something For the Daredevil

Anyone obsessed with the combined glories of speed and style will appreciate a pair of handmade, limited-edition sunglasses by Dita Eyewear. Frame no. PS-003, above, from the Los Angeles-based company's Lancier collection (inspired by men who race cars, boats and airplanes) serves up serious luxury with a shot of testosterone: quick-release titanium temples, a polished white-gold frame, field-quality lenses. In other words, perfect for maneuvers of all sorts.
