Fantastic

Fantastic. Love em'

Love it, Barry—thanks so much! Glad you’re loving the Aviators; they suit big heads and big personalities. 😎️️

Back of arms too narrow

The glasses are for bigger heads but the back of the arms pinch inward too much and don’t match the front width. They pinched in at the back and were uncomfortable . Plus they can’t be heated and adjusted or the plastic will break.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the honest feedback—it’s really helpful and I’m sorry to hear the fit wasn’t quite right. You’re absolutely right: the Classic 165mm XXL is designed for wide heads, but the slight inward curve on the arms can feel tight for some face shapes.

Unfortunately, you’re also correct that the material can’t be heat-adjusted without risking damage, so we don’t recommend attempting that.

If your order was in the last 14 days, we can arrange an exchange for a different frame that offers a looser or more open fit—our Sport 165mm XXL or Gent 165mm XXL both have a straighter arm design and tend to give more room around the temples.

Just let me know which option sounds best, and I’ll help you get the exchange started.

They’re great

They’re great. I’m a big man and I they’re the first sunglasses I’ve had that really fit my big head.

Love it, Geoffrey—thanks so much! Great to hear you finally found shades (and a case!) that actually fit comfortably. That’s exactly what Faded Days is all about. 😎️

Perfect fit and so comfortable to wear

I could not decide between the Sport or the Classic so I made myself a cardboard mock up of both and decided on the Sport. The fit is perfect for my 63cm head, they are light, comfortable to wear, look to be very well made and so far I have really enjoyed wearing them although the recent weather has been a bit of a let down. I actually bought 2 pairs, the black smoke and the green lens and I am delighted with both them. I will likely buy more.

This is brilliant—cardboard mock-ups for the win! 😄 Love the dedication, and we’re so glad the Sport frames delivered the perfect fit for your 63cm head. Light, comfortable, and well-made is exactly what we aim for.

Great choice grabbing both the black smoke and green lenses too—they’re a strong combo. Delighted to hear you’re loving them (now we just need the weather to play ball). We’ll be ready whenever you come back for more! 😎️

Consistency and Quality

Finally a company has taken the challenge of creating sunglasses for those with larger and wider faces. I have struggled to find sunglasses as well as glasses for most of my life. Little did I know that there are those who have larger head than mine.

Quality at this price point is great with this company, and I sincerely hope they stay in business for many years to come, but I really hope you maintain your consistency and quality. So many companies cannot maintain these two concepts and often think the customer will not notice. I hope your company will be the exception. I will definitely be returning customer.

Thank you so much, Mr Lee—this means a lot to us. We know exactly how tough it can be to find glasses that truly fit wider faces, and it’s why Faded Days exists in the first place.

Your words about consistency and quality really hit home—we’re committed to keeping both at the heart of everything we do. It’s customers like you that keep us striving to be that exception.

We’re honoured to have you as part of the Faded Days crew, and we’ll be ready whenever you return. 😎
