This one stands down when off duty — which is most of the day, if the prescription is honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name is the maker's. \u003cem\u003eThe Riddle of the Sands\u003c\/em\u003e is Erskine Childers's 1903 novel — two amateurs in a small boat, reading the charts more carefully than the professionals — commonly called the first modern spy novel, and credited with making the Admiralty re-read its own maps. A case named for careful reading, for the instrument you read with. The shelf's small joke, and a good one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it take a large frame?\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard reading and prescription frames, yes. Oversized sunglasses are a squeeze; the case is sized for the pair you read with, not the pair you drive in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the magnet affect anything in the bag?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is a small closure magnet of the kind used on handbag flaps, not a speaker magnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not a hard case?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because a hard case is empty most of the day and still takes up the room. This one is protective when it matters and flat when it does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare.\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable-tanned Vachetta darkens with handling and sun; that is the leather working, not wearing out. Wipe dust with a dry cloth, keep it away from radiators, and condition lightly once a year with a colourless leather cream. Rain marks fade as the surrounding leather catches up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the other small case — the one for the jewelry — see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/womens-leather-jewelry-travel-case-madame-bovary\"\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/a\u003e.
