SikkShade by Eddie Bauer Jr prides itself in supporting the underdog — the privateer scraping enough money to get to the next event or the Olympic hopeful who just needs a bit of assistance getting to the qualifying run. We have formed alliances with a number of athletes who are at the top of the game or on the verge of breaking out. SikkShades by Eddie Bauer Jr has always been and will always continue to give back support that will allow these athletes to pursue their dreams. That’s what SikkShades are all about: the eyewear of choice for those who live their dreams. We are now asking for your to help build those dreams further. Allowing SikkShades to not only provide designer, game changing eyewear but continue our efforts in helping the underdog.

In the beginning, I had no desire to slap my name on someone else’s frame and call it my own. I wanted to make great, stylish sunglasses that were durable yet fashionable. Tired of the overpriced monopoly I perceived in the marketplace, I set out to design frames that were:

Affordable, and out-performed what was available.

The vision was clear. The road ahead — not so clear. Looking back, it’s safe to say I had no idea the journey I would travel to realize the dream.

I knew I wanted sunglasses that were stylish enough, safe enough, and durable enough for outdoor-oriented people to wear during their chosen pursuits.
