Califas 22' was started by Caesar Ruiz, a hands-on innovator who grew up surrounded by the grit and grind of construction sites, where his earliest memories include the sound of power tools and the heat radiating off concrete slabs. Raised in a working-class family of builders, he eventually followed in those steel-toed footsteps, becoming a general contractor himself. Years on the job exposed him not only to the physical demands of construction, but also the lack of protective gear that felt good to wear—especially eyewear. Blending his roots in tough labor with a sharp eye for design, Caesar launched Califas 22'—a line of fashion-forward eyewear built to withstand the realities of harsh environments. Whether you're grinding in a warehouse, maneuvering on a loading dock, flying downhill on a mountain bike, or navigating the salt and glare of open water, Califas 22' was made for you. Rugged enough for the jobsite, bold enough for the street—this is gear that works as hard as you do.
