Description

In 1814, a young American lawyer and amateur poet named Francis Scott Key witnessed 19 British naval ships attack Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor. The scene sounds intense- rain pouring down, explosions all night- but as the smoke dissipated and dawn broke, the American flag flying above the battle zone was, famously, "still there."

Inspired by Francis Scott Key’s words and those all-American stars and stripes, we proudly present the Star Spangled Fort Knocks. Each pair of these American flag sunglasses features polarized moonshine lenses, patriotic red, white, and blue coloring, and silver hardware. Bold, white stars and stripes run down the outside of each arm.

  • Blue fronts with red, white, and blue arms
  • White stars and stripes patterns along each outside arm
  • Matte finish
  • Silver hardware
  • Polarized moonshine lenses with full UV400 protection
  • Protective pouch included
  • Betsy Ross would be proud

Sustainability

In 2022, Knockaroud officially became Plastic Neutral—for every pound of plastic we use, we remove one pound from the environment elsewhere. But that’s far from where our sustainability efforts end. We’ve also implemented minimalist, recycled packaging, eliminated single-use plastics, and included recycled materials in our products whenever possible. There’s always more progress to be made, but we’re committed to putting in the work.

Stay Glare Aware

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses cut glare by filtering out horizontal light waves, like the ones that bounce off water or the road. Without this glare, you’re left with a more gentle view and reduced eye strain, not to mention crisper, cleaner details!

Great Shades

Love the Star Spangled Fort Knocks, Fort Knocks are perfect for my semi big head. I’m a golfer so these will get a lot of use once golf season starts. I just love the way they look, solid product so far!!!

Quality 4th Accessory

I wanted some 4th of July shades but didn’t want the cheap flea market kind that would break after 2 wears, so I bought these instead. I was ecstatic that they were high quality and super comfy they promoted. Happy customer!

I couldn't resist!

I had already purchased five pairs of sunglasses. Each one was beautiful and unique. I certainly did not need another pair, and yet...

Star-Specked Super-Specs

I get a lot of love for these shades; it’s a good look that suits its vintage-style frames (which sit quite comfortably, I might add) quite well.
