Dead Men’s Spex is a family run business based in Norfolk, England. We have more than 30 years history of working within the optical trade, we’ve seen a lot of changes – not all for the best! So 13 years ago, with this in mind, we set our standards high when deciding to supply the best quality vintage frames we possibly could. All frames are therefore dismantled, cleaned, polished and re-assembled in our own workshop to make sure you are going to get a frame that is in the best condition possible. We have our own glazing facility that allows us to fit your prescription lenses to any of our frames, making them not only stylish pieces of history but very practical. So whether they are for weekend re-enactment or every day wear we can offer you the perfect frame. We pride ourselves on our customer care and attention with an after sales service that brings customers back time and again. Thank you for visiting us, and Happy Shopping!

Been ordering from Dead Men's Spex for years and always happy with the service. Normally order the same frame every couple of years with new prescription but decided to change it up this time. Contacted about sizing and quick reply, placed order and had new glasses within a week. Highly recommend!
Great customer service and speedy service when fitting lenses with my prescription into 90 year old frames!

Thank you for your positive feedback. I'm glad you're happy with the service you received. Best wishes Dead Men's Spex
I have been buying vintage frames from Darren at DMS for quite a few years now. I couldn’t get a style that I liked from my optician and found DMS. What a lucky day for me. I’ve bought 3 pairs over the years and nothing has been too much trouble. If you like your specs that bit different and to match your personality, you needn’t look any further than Dead Men’s Spex. I’m already looking at some more of the 1940s frames!
Ordered my first pair of reading glasses. I’m so pleased with my authentic 1950’s cateye specs. Great quality at an amazing price. Turn around time was very quick. I had a few questions regarding my prescription and the response was immediate and helpful. Highly recommended.
Fantastic range, knowledgable owner, fast shipping. Dealt with an issue really well, even though I was wrong. I would recommend to anyone who wants to wear quality glasses.
I ordered some vintage NHS glasses from this website, the same as those worn by Morrissey in the eighties.
The service from this company was absolutely brilliant. I received the glasses just a day after I placed my order and they're in terrific condition.
Dead Men's Spex is certainly one of the best websites I've ordered from and I would, without a doubt, recommend them to anyone!
