A "balebus" is someone who is resolute, indomitable, and steadfast - qualities Great Grandpa Hyman so admired, he "invented" the "word" balebus to "identify" a "balebuster" whenever he saw one. Nearly 100 years later, we Moscots still love us a balebus, but think this frame may be a more appropriate way to "identify" one.

Close friends and family nicknamed Grandpa Sol, Zilch, which we are absolutely certain they meant ironically since Grandpa Sol was anything and everything but zero, nada, or zip. Or they were mean. Either way, we love this new frame, and Grandpa Sol. Made from acetate with column rivets on the front and temples, a key hole bridge, and a real five barrel hinge.

"Be a lion!" 3rd Generation, Joel Moscot used to say as words of encouragement. With that in mind, we give you The LIEB. Flaunting characteristics that are bold yet stately, it's time to rock a piece of geometric metal with confidence. And while you're at it, slip on a Clip-on to complete the look.

Named for our strapping and unconventional uncle, Uncle Zulu Pushkin (yes, that's his real name), who was a runner for a famed New York bookie back in the day. The ZULU recreates the ubiquitous American Optical Pilot frame made famous in the 1940s. This square-shaped frame is strong and sturdy so it can really take a beating urban or otherwise, if you catch our drift.
