Design Overview
This frame takes the classic navigator silhouette and gives it a more sculptural, contemporary treatment. The broad brow, squared lens geometry, and pronounced bridge create a confident architectural profile, while beveled edges and softened corners keep the design from feeling overly rigid.
- Frame Type: Bold navigator-inspired silhouette with squared lenses, a strong brow line, and subtly tapered outer edges.
- Materials: Substantial acetate construction with dimensional shaping that emphasizes the frame’s depth and structure.
- Details: A broad integrated bridge reinforces the navigator influence, while faceted endpieces and carefully sculpted contours give the front a distinctive three-dimensional quality. The relatively clean design allows the proportions and construction to provide the visual impact rather than relying on decorative hardware.
Fit & Comfort
- The generous width and substantial lens proportions make this especially well suited to medium-to-large face shapes or anyone who prefers an intentionally oversized look.
- The squared lenses provide strong horizontal structure, while the slightly softened lower corners prevent the silhouette from becoming too severe.
- Its generous lens area provides excellent coverage as a sunglass and also offers ample space for prescription sun lenses, including progressive designs when measurements and prescription requirements are appropriate.
Perfect for
- Someone looking for a modern statement sunglass with clear vintage navigator influence, but with the heavier proportions and sculptural detailing associated with contemporary independent eyewear.
- Particularly effective for adding definition to rounder, oval, and softly contoured face shapes, while its oversized proportions can also complement larger facial features.
- A strong platform for polarized lenses, custom solid or gradient tints, prescription sun lenses, or Hi-Vex lenses, making it equally compelling as a fashion-forward sunglass or a highly customized prescription sun option.

Find Your Fit
Frame Sizing Isn't What it Seems:
Let me throw a wrench to everything you might think you know about finding the right "size" glasses. While many people think a couple of simple numbers can determine the needed frame size, more often that not, that's just not the case. The numbers I'm referring to are the A or Eye size (Lens width), and the DBL or Bridge size (distance between the two lenses). While these numbers can be helpful guidelines, not all frames with the same numbers will fit the same way. Just like your clothes don't all fit exactly the same even with the same waist measure, neither do all frames.
Why Don't The Numbers Tell Me the Right Size?
This is a great question, and comes down to the wide array of materials used to make the frames! The distance from the edge of the lens to where the temple (arms, bows, whatever you want to call them) go back to the head and thickness of the temples themselves are just a couple of the factors. Add in different bridge designs with the same width and totally different fits and construction, and things get hairy quickly!
So, How Can I Even Figure Out What To Buy?
Pay close attention to the actual construction of the frame. Opticians know these tricks well and our staff is happy to assist if needed, just send us a picture, and what it is you personally want out of your next eyewear function and style wise. For a guideline for yourself though, look at the material thickness from the outer lens to the edge, this can be just one or two millimeters, on up to several or as much as ten or more millimeters in the cases of some specialty designs for high prescriptions! Next pay attention to the thickness of the material in the bridge, and the way it tapers. These subtle cues can give you a great impression of how the frame will fit on you with just a little visualization!
Does a Frame Always Need to Fit Perfectly?
Contrary to the optical worlds opinion, NO. You don't need perfect central alignment, or frames exactly the width of your head. What you do need, are certain lines to flow well with your face, colors that work for your complexion and wardrobe, and knowing whether you want to have a look that is bold and oversized, or small petite and minimal, or any combination of the two. There is a fine line between oversized and TOO BIG, so do dredge into this area with caution. This is where we come in, if you're not sure, let us help!
What if I Like Really Different?
Welcome to the party, you're one of us. We understand trendsetters and fashion forward styles are not something the everyday eye will find pleasing, and we're not going to talk you out of that gorgeous vintage cat eye shape in blazing pink colors, or whatever your heart desires, as long as it really is a good look for you in color tones and style choice! Frames built for the world of high fashion are some of our favorites, and personally our staff rocks some of the wildest things out there! Whether you like the basics, or something as wild as a rimless with dragon shaped lenses, we're not judging!
