Once and for all ,JFK 's sunglasses are not the wayfarers 5022. John F. Kennedy was wearing American Optical's Saratoga sunglasses, which resemble indeed Wayfarers but are not. i know B&L would like you to believe it in order to sell more pairs ,it but facts are facts .......
The JFK's Presidential Library and Museum catalogs some of his personal effects and his actual shades are still there .they were made by American Optical and not by B&L .The president had a long relationship with the iconic company dating back from WW2while serving in the Navy. AO even had reading glasses made for him ,John John and Caroline[documents above]. While it is wholly possible that JFK did wear Ray-Ban Wayfarers at some point in his life, it is far more accurate ,judging from all the pictures we know of him ,to site AO's Saratoga model in tortoise as his sunglasses of choice easily recognisable by their much slimmer stems.
