That's not even a real monocle. A real monocle has what is called a galley that is inserted into the ocular socket. Also, they usually don't have chains, rather a string.Originally Posted by LabelKing
Monocles without galleries are actually the original type; monocles with galleries are just more expensive because they work better (the gallery keeps them from being pushed by eyelashes) and are harder to have custom-fitted.
For example, here's a picture of Joseph Chamberlain wearing a monocle that doesn't look to have a gallery: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chamberlain.jpg

It's interesting that Chamberlain doesn't seem to be wearing a custom monocle.
Monocles in their day were actually quite expensive, and ironically antique ones now are still rather pricey to buy.

Was it when Anderson themselves were great?
I'm always suspicious about companies going on about their past customers.
Saying that, I go there wednesday for a fitting...

I think it's mostly a matter of timing; I don't think galleries became widespread on monocles until well after Chamberlain had probably started wearing them, so he was probably accustomed to wearing the older style.

Not very recent, but I thought this GQ Style editorial was great. I really wish the publication had a website.
