The retainer that started it all, way back in 1983. The idea for the Original Cotton Chums was born on the river by a crafty raft guide who was tired of seeing clients lose their sunglasses to the rapids of the Colorado River. Living in the back of a VW van, that raft guide used a $60 sewing machine to create the very first Chums retainers.
Fast forward to today and this product is still manufactured in the USA! Made from soft, durable, lightweight 100% Cotton that will slide easily onto a wide variety of frames and features an adjustable bead for a comfortable and secure fit. Hang with your Chums and be equipped for any adventure.

These are great. Easy to put on glasses and they actually stay on my glasses. I also love the softness and all the fun colors.

Large is still too small

I love the quality of Chums, but the large size is still too small to fit onto Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses. Jamming them on bends, and nearly breaks, the temples of my glasses. Please make an extra large version.

Thank you for your feedback on our Chums Original product. We are sorry to hear that the large size is still too small for your sunglasses. We take customer satisfaction seriously and will definitely take your request into consideration. Thank you for your support and for bringing this to our attention.

Must have

I didn't realize its usefulness until I purchased it. I bought one for each pair of my eyeglasses.
