This Tanner Goods leather sunglasses case appeared in our 2014 coverage. The archived design is a shaped leather pouch with a flap closure, offering a compact way to keep glasses separate from loose items in a bag. It is worth judging by fit and protection, not just the appeal of its leather.
Check the frame fit before buying
Measure your glasses folded, including the widest part of the frame and the depth created by the temples. Ask for the case’s usable internal dimensions, not only its external size. The flap should close without pressing against the lenses or forcing the frame; a close-fitting pouch may suit one pair and not a bulkier wraparound style.
Keep grit out of the pouch and avoid dropping loose keys alongside the glasses. A soft leather case should not be assumed to provide the crush resistance of a rigid protective case. If your bag is regularly squeezed under other luggage, choose protection that matches that risk rather than relying on the leather’s thickness.
Leather details: historical reporting, corrected terminology
The original product coverage described 4/5 oz Horween Chromexcel leather. Horween identifies Chromexcel as a combination-tanned leather. That general tannery information does not independently authenticate the leather in a particular old case. The earlier manufacturing-location and military-design-origin claims have not been reverified and are not presented here as established current facts.
Care and second-hand condition
For an older example, inspect the flap fold, closure, stitching and inside surface for damage or rough areas that could contact lenses. Confirm the leather and finish before applying a conditioner, and follow the finished-goods maker’s instructions. Avoid transferring advice for suede or another leather finish to this case merely because all are leather.
