Due to licensing restrictions, this product can only ship to US & CANADA.

Our officially licensed Hoffman Lenses were created by laser-scanning a screen-used pair from the set of John Carpenter's THEY LIVE, then rebuilt with the same shape, weight, and presence. They've been carefully designed to feel like you found them in that alley… and smartly decided to put them on.

This is an exclusive limited edition run and our stock may sell out. When our batch is gone, that's it.

LENSES
- ANSI-rated nylon lenses
- 100% UV protection
- Dark tint — lenses appear nearly opaque in bright light, semi-transparent indoors

FRAMES
- Hand crafted black acetate
- German barrel hinges
- Stainless steel core
- Laser etched branding
- Color note: The "White/Black" colorway features an off-white/cream acetate frame with black accents — not a bright optical white. Photos are color-calibrated but monitor settings may vary slightly.

FIT & SIZING
- Lens width: 57mm
- Bridge width: 19mm
- Temple length: 145mm
- Total frame width: ~133mm
- Best fit for medium to large face widths (approximately 130–145mm)
- Acetate frames have a firm fit out of the box and will conform slightly with wear — this is normal for premium acetate eyewear
- Temples are not adjustable; if you have a very narrow or very wide face, fit may vary
- Not sure if these will fit? A standard adult face width is ~135mm — these are sized to match.

WHAT TO EXPECT
- These are collectible-grade sunglasses built for fans first — they're screen-accurate, not fashion-optimized
- The acetate frame is rigid and substantial; expect a firm, secure fit rather than a lightweight feel
- Minor variations in acetate grain and color are inherent to the material and are not defects

CONTENTS
- Sunglasses
- Hard case
- Cloth bag
- Microfiber wipe
- Collector's Box

Subtle Engraving

A small detail you might miss at first… until you really look. Each pair features a subtle THEY LIVE engraving on the INSIDE of the arm, a quiet nod to John Carpenter’s cult classic.

Sturdy Collector's Box

The sunglasses arrive inside a custom Hoffman Lenses collector box designed specifically for this release. Clean, minimal, and built for display.

Protective Microfiber Pouch

Each pair includes a soft Hoffman Lenses microfiber pouch with the custom eye logo. It keeps your sunglasses protected when they’re not revealing the hidden messages around you, and it doubles as a cleaning cloth so the truth always stays crystal clear.

Hoffman Lenses Storage Case

The custom protective case holds your sunglasses securely and reveals the word CONFORM on the interior lid, a direct nod to the hidden commands discovered by Nada in John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE.
