How I Make Sunglasses From Jeans. Design, Engineering and Craftsmanship. By Mosevic (2021)

This is how I turn jeans into sunglasses using a process that has taken me the best part of a decade to develop. It all starts by making a strong composite material (Solid Denim / Micarta) by cutting up discarded jeans and other waste denim and then infusing it with a strong bio based resin. You can see the rest of the 2 week long process in the video!
I came up with the idea of infusing denim with resin in 2011 and I soon started playing around with the material, making (very rough) prototypes of the sunglasses. I knew that I could develop something very unique, but I didn't know what the end result would be like. Hundreds and hundreds of prototypes later, having tried so many different ways of making them, these sunglasses are finally at the standard I have been aspiring to.
I started Mosevic a few years ago and I have developed a range of styles in blue or black denim.

Amazing work! Beautiful process and results. However I must ask if it is just a personal preference or a part of the process that creates the “cloudy” look when the denim is sanded into. When working with other composites sanding into the cloth is usually undesirable, but I must say I think it really works with denim! Do you apply a final top coat or is it just the wax? Thanks!

@@LouisHv2 It could be made into all sorts of things using a similar process. However I don't have the time to explore any at the moment sadly. This keeps me busy enough. Yes it's very versatile. It's flexible and strong. At one point in the video you might have seen me hitting it with a hammer. I reinforce the temple arms with spring steel, because without this they would be bendy, but not very springy if you see what I mean. It needs the steel to return to it's original shape each time.

Did you try some other fabrics as a base material? some flowery curtains might work as well

@mosevic_eyewear 3 жыл бұрын

I've carried out a few experiments, but I have been focusing on denim fabric until I have a bit more time to explore other materials. The trouble with a patterned fabric like that is that you would lose most of it when it is in the shape of sunglasses, because of the small area involved. So unless the pattern was very small, you might not be able to tell what it is.

as long as the fabric absorbs the resin. It's taken me along time to develop a way of making the finish nice and other fabrics might require a different way of finishing. Different thicknesses would complicate things too
