  • FAQ

First introduced in the 1950s, The LEMTOSH has become one of the most recognizable frames in the MOSCOT lineup – and a true Classiconic™. Known for its rounded shape, keyhole bridge, and intellectual charm, The LEMTOSH has been worn by artists, thinkers, and tastemakers for generations. Rooted in over 100 years of MOSCOT optical expertise and Lower East Side heritage, The LEMTOSH continues to evolve with new colorways, lens options, and special editions through The LEMTOSH Legacy Collection.

Absolutely. The LEMTOSH is crafted from premium acetate or metal, with robust five-barrel hinges and signature diamond rivets for long-lasting durability. Each frame is handmade with the same precision and care we've honed since 1915. Plus, every MOSCOT optical and sun frame includes a one-year manufacturer’s warranty, and complimentary adjustments in any MOSCOT Shop. If you're looking for a frame that balances timeless design with everyday wearability, The LEMTOSH is well worth the investment.

Wondering how to spot a fake MOSCOT LEMTOSH? Here's what to look for:

  1. Authentic LEMTOSH frames will have the MOSCOT logo stamped or engraved on the inner temple
  2. The construction will feel substantial – cut from thick acetate or metal, never flimsy plastic
  3. Finishing details, like diamond rivets and saddle bridges, will be clean and precise
  4. All genuine frames come in official MOSCOT packaging with a branded case and chamois

To guarantee authenticity, shop only at MOSCOT.com, a MOSCOT Shop, or an authorized retailer. Avoid third-party resellers with steep discounts – counterfeit frames often lack the structural integrity and craftsmanship of the real deal.

Curious who wears MOSCOT LEMTOSH? Over the years, the frame has earned fans across fashion, film, and music. Style icons and creatives who’ve been spotted in LEMTOSH frames include:

  1. Johnny Depp
  2. Jeff Goldblum
  3. John Mayer
  4. Paul Rudd
  5. Ringo Starr
  6. King Charles III

Whether it’s paired with a suit, a vintage tee, or custom tints, The LEMTOSH has a way of elevating any look with smart, understated style.

You may be wondering how to put lenses into The MOSCOT LEMTOSH – but we recommend leaving that to the pros. Installing lenses involves heating the acetate frame to insert the lens into the groove, then allowing it to cool and hold the lens in place. Done incorrectly, it can warp the frame, damage the material, or void your warranty.

For the best results, have your prescription or sun lenses added by a certified optician or order directly through MOSCOT. We’ll make sure the fit is precise, the alignment is perfect, and your frame stays in mint condition.
