I'm sure we've had this on the site before, but here's a review of Moscot, the brand of eyewear Johnny uses. I'm just giving the link as there are some lovely pics of Johnny. Apparently he wears the Lemtosh style? Since we're hoping he makes an appearance at Oscar.........It's an interesting article:

Here's a link to the site with the style Johnny wears:

Wow, next his glasses are going to fit right into the Dillinger Era. Cool. B)

I like them and I wear glasses too. They are very becoming to Johnny.

Another reference, this one from the June issue of Los Angeles magazine about Johnny's glasses:

Those are great and it was wonderful to see Mort again!! woohoo

very cool.

I bought a pair of Moscot Lemtosh a year or more ago. I had them put the green lenses in for sunglasses. That type of color is hard to find around here and I've always found that to be the best for my eyes. They seem to relax my eyes, and with my job, I need something relaxed *L* Anyways, the glasses are very comfortable. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Thanks Donna for the link. That is a very interesting article. I have always admired Johnny's taste in glasses. His choices seems to be consistent with his personality.

Thanks carpediem for sharing the LA piece as well.

Mort makes me smile!!

Ah, I swear you guys have all the info.
I'm doing a story and Johnny's glasses have come "into focus" so I did a little research based on your info here.

What I gather is that the Moscots are actually copies of the original 1950's Tart Arnel glasses that Johnny wears. (bought in Venice CA according to someone - maybe)

Here's a site where they were available. I checked recently and they are sold out on this website. They are available for much more $$ on eBay.

Just thought I'd let you know. They look the same, so who would know?

Thanks for the info Holly!
