Brooks Brothers Eyeglasses FAQ
What is Brooks Brothers eyewear like?
Classic and conservative, the Golden Fleece on the temple, the sort of frame you wear to a bank. Progressives go in easily. The metal frames handle roughly -4.00 to +3.00; we'd use polycarbonate or high-index 1.67 to keep them balanced.
Which Brooks Brothers frame for my first progressives?
A small or medium rectangle, 52 to 54 eye, with adjustable nose pads: the BB501 or BB503 are the usual picks. Skip the very large shapes and anything wrapped for a first pair. Two-year warranty on the frame.
What sizes do Brooks Brothers eyeglasses come in?
Mostly 53 to 56 eye with 145 mm temples: medium to slightly large. Metal rectangles and ovals, some acetate. If you wear a 50, look at the BB2076U and its neighbours, which run smaller.
