The acetate

A full acetate rim where most aviators run bare wire. Warmer against the face, quieter in a room, and far harder to bend out of shape.

The lenses

Polarised CR-39 teardrops with full UVA/UVB protection. The polariser kills the glare a pilot lens is usually all about collecting.

The bridge

A slim double bridge in aged gold. The one aviator detail worth keeping, refined down to a line.

George Andelli presentation box and leather case
In the box

A case worth keeping.

A rigid presentation box, a magnetic leather-finish case, and a gold-embossed microfibre cloth. Packaging that survives gifting — nothing in a plastic pouch.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Are these polarised?
Yes. Polarised CR-39 lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection are standard on every George Andelli frame — including this one.
How do I know the fit is right?
Check the measured fit above — lens, bridge, temple in millimetres — against a pair you own. Most men wear a 50–57mm lens; the fit guide on this page tells you where this frame sits.
Can I get prescription lenses fitted?
These are sun-only frames and we don't offer Rx lenses, but any good optician can refit most of our acetate frames with prescription sun lenses if you want to.
How should I look after them?
Wipe with the included cloth, rinse salt spray off with fresh water, and keep them in the case — acetate dislikes hot dashboards more than it dislikes anything else.
What if they don't suit me?
Thirty days from delivery, in original condition with the case and packaging, full refund. Details on the Returns & Refunds page.
