I'm so pleased to have prescription glasses that fit! I can never wear one-size-fits-all hats, and glasses are no easier to find on the high street.
For me it's not so much the width of the frame but the length of the arms where I really struggle. Gavin was great and sorted me out with 155mm arms which actually bend in the correct place for my ears (for the first time in my life!).
The hinges have extra flex and the frames are well made. There's no metal touching my skin so there's also no issue with my nickel sensitivity.
I've never bought glasses online before, so I wasn't sure how well it would go, but requesting all three try on pairs of the classic frames let me try them on at my leisure. It really was just a easy as sending a photograph of my latest prescription and the glasses arrived with no adjustments needed. Thank you!
Gemma, thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. This really means a lot.
You’ve perfectly described one of the biggest challenges we see—arm length and hinge position are just as important as frame width, and it’s brilliant to hear the 155mm arms finally solved that for you. The fact they bend in the right place for the first time is exactly why we do what we do.
Great to hear the flexible hinges and nickel-free design worked well for you too, and I’m especially glad the try-on process made ordering prescription glasses online feel easy and stress-free.
Thanks again for trusting us with your glasses—it was a pleasure getting you sorted. 😎
Fantastic. Love em'
Love it, Barry—thanks so much! Glad you’re loving the Aviators; they suit big heads and big personalities. 😎️️
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. 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. 😎️
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! 😎️
