Product Insights
HUGO's Black Acetate Aviator Sunglasses deliver a classic oversized pilot silhouette with a 58 mm lens width matching the largest Ray-Ban Aviator, priced at 205 CAD to undercut the Ray-Ban equivalent by the tax amount. The lightweight acetate frame offers a monolithic black aesthetic suitable for streetwear, but requires protection from scratches and warping—provided by the included rigid case and cloth. Tradeoffs include non-polarized gradient lenses, fixed non-adjustable nose pads that may slide on low nasal bridges, and acetate's inherent susceptibility to scratching, making the rigid case essential for preserving fit.

Deep Research
How these stack up against other $200 aviators
- The 58 mm lens width is a full-face statement size, identical to the largest Ray-Ban Aviator (RB3025 58mm) and significantly larger than many fashion aviators that have trended toward narrower 52–55 mm cuts, so this frame retains the classic oversized pilot profile that offers maximum sun coverage and a vintage silhouette.
- The inclusion of a rigid designer case with cleaning cloth is a value-adding package detail at the $150 level—many fashion sunglasses at this price ship with a soft pouch only—and it directly extends the lifespan of the acetate frame by protecting it from compression and scratches when stored, which is especially important for acetate that can warp or crack under pressure.
- The model code HG1398/S allows a buyer to verify the exact fit across retailers and compare it against the sizing of other aviators—for instance, the shorter 145 mm temple length is 10 mm shorter than some oversized square frames but typical for aviators, ensuring a standard side grip that works with a wide range of head sizes without excessive extension beyond the ear.
- Priced at 205 CAD, these sunglasses undercut the Canadian retail price of Ray-Ban's classic Aviator (typically ~230–250 CAD) by a margin that roughly covers the tax, so for a Canadian buyer the HUGO represents a comparable outlay but with a different brand story—fashion house vs. lens heritage.
- While the classic Ray-Ban Aviator uses a metal frame with glass lenses, this HUGO model uses acetate—a material that, at this price point, offers a lighter weight than metal (the frame is explicitly described as 'light and comfortable') and a sleeker, monolithic black appearance that suits the modern minimalist aesthetic, consistent with many contemporary luxury acetate aviators from brands like Saint Laurent or Gucci that cost significantly more.
- HUGO is the contemporary, youth-oriented diffusion line of Hugo Boss—distinct from the main BOSS label—so these sunglasses carry a fashion-forward design identity that aligns with streetwear rather than boardroom attire, making them appropriate for someone looking for recognizable designer branding at an accessible price without the formality of BOSS mainline accessories.

Q&A
3 answered- Are the lenses polarized?
- The product listing does not specify polarized lenses, and similar HUGO aviator models are typically offered with gradient tinted lenses rather than polarized ones. If polarization is important to you, we recommend checking the product page or contacting us for confirmation.
- Does the acetate frame have adjustable nose pads?
- Acetate frames like this one typically have integrated nose pads that are not adjustable. The HUGO HG1398/S design uses a full-rim acetate construction, which generally lacks the adjustable silicone pads found on metal frames.
- Does the black acetate finish scratch easily, and how should it be maintained?
- Acetate can be prone to scratching if not handled carefully. To maintain the finish, store the sunglasses in the included rigid designer case when not in use and clean the lenses and frame with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive materials.
