Angler’s insight:
Costa only makes the frames for its new Optical line, so you’ll order your prescription glasses through an authorized dealer. I got the Ocean Ridge style (Shiny Tortoise pattern) which give me a more casual, some might say debonair look, contrasting the conservative tone of my daily use glasses. Plus, they arrived in a cool box with a magnetic lid closure and a faux cork finish that looks like the handle of my first fishing rod. Costa can carry a theme.
