The man is surrounded by amazing things and an awesome shop and has the ability to pretty much make anything he wants and he sounds like a 5 year old in the best possible way "STICKERS!!!"

My dad was in the Air Force, a private pilot, and aviation buff. I grew up making pilgrimages to Oshkosh EAA Airshow. I got to meet guys like Chuck Yeager, Pappy Boyington, Alan Shepard, John Glenn, Burt Rutan, and many others. They were my heroes and they all wore American Optics aviators. I found a pair in my dad’s junk pile of a desk. I had them cleaned up and new lenses put in. Cost more than buying new but that wasn’t the point. Love those glasses!

I am 14 now and remember watching your show with my dad. He died of cancer almost a year ago and a lot of memories were made watching your show. Your just like my dad. You talk like him, think like him, and build like him. Your awesome. You mean the world to me. I want to say thank you for everything you have done for me. You inspired me to dream, build, imagine, and so much more. Adam. Thank you.

Please take these to an optician to be adjusted. They need the temples tweaked so they don't sit crooked. Fabulous vintage frames!

Adam’s hair is giving me strong Doc Brown vibes. Love it!

After Adam's video repairing the aviators and then talking about the Luna Replicas, I got a pair of the serial numbered Luna Replica American Optical aviators for my son for his HS graduation. When he got them, I liked them so much, I got my own pair, with a very special, personal serial number. And just about a month, 6-weeks ago, I got this carry-case for the sunglasses.

Everything Luna Replicas makes is just amazing quality!

Max is such a good guy as well - he helped sort out some international shipping issues (on my end, not his) during the height of covid and was a pleasure to deal with.

The original designation for those glasses was the FG-58, and the navy blue vinyl carrying case had the same injection molded plastic holder inside. I recently found the pair I bought when I was in high school JROTC 25 years ago hiding in an old box of my stuff that was in my parents attic.

American Optics still makes them, but they're called the Original Aviator now. The green glass lenses are 🤌.

Adam has fully embraced his inner mad scientist during the pandemic. 😄

[pigeonfarmboy]

Adam, you'll find the glasses fit better in the case with the lenses facing the back of the pouch. The stand-offs in the back keep the lenses from contacting the injected plastic.

Those glasses are kinda crooked and it's actually bugging me a little lol.

Watching your videos every day is like watching it live. No cuts or edits to remove things like you adjusting the camera. Just awesome, like being right there with you. That and your awesome being like a kid learning stuff and just chatting to us is great

[Pokellectibles]

I just love seeing unedited genuine excitement. I love showing people things that I'm excited about and need this same energy in return.

[JackWoernerJr.-gwcv]

Waiting for them to get the pen pouches back in stock to stow my pickett es600 sliderule in!!! Oh yeah-Thanks for all the historical support through the years Savage-Salute!

[Durandalite]

I have a pair of American Opticals and they're easily my favorite sunglasses. Perfect shape and dig the bayonet style.

[johntriplett]

Thanks for the video - I am so getting this. AO Pilots are the only shades I wear; need this case.

[JayLoden]

Luna Replicas service is excellent too. I had some questions and ultimately ended up doing an exchange. Max responded lightning fast with excellent advice and was very helpful. Very cool company with some very neat products! 👍🏼

0:04 "But Marty! Can't you see, Marty?!" Eccentric old maker...though, lovably so. :)

[Wibblywobbly-o]

This must've been right after Perseverance landed. Truly amazing to watch. A very fitting show and tell.

[ryankimball]

Man those sunglasses need to be straightened. They were killing my ocd being crooked. Lol
