The General is the quintessential aviator from the company that originated the style. A favorite of U.S. military pilots for more than 50 years. Engineered to rigid military specifications and built to last, they're the only aviator you'll need. The General features adjustable nosepads so it's easy to customize the frame for your perfect fit. The tear-drop silhouette of this aviator is perhaps the most universal shape to fit nearly every face shape - for men and women.
