Product Insights
Tom Ford's Rectangular Cat-Eye Sunglasses blend couture heritage (designer cut his teeth at Gucci and YSL, now produced by Marcolin) with a sharp, face-lifting silhouette: a flat base that adds structure to round faces and upswept corners that lift oblong ones. The black acetate is hypoallergenic, color-saturated through its core so scratches don't reveal a lighter layer, and it heat-molds to your head over the first month while its weight keeps it seated on sweaty skin. Category 3 dark gray lenses block 82–92% of visible light, and surface wear can often be professionally polished away. But the 16mm bridge and 147mm temples favor lower nasal bridges with a long wrap, nose pads are integrated and non-adjustable, and there's only one size and one colorway—so if the frame doesn't clear your cheekbones on a smile check, there's no alternate fit to try.
Verified claims
- Design heritage
- Tom Ford spent 14 years designing sunglasses at Gucci and then Yves Saint Laurent before founding his own label.
- Craftsmanship
- Marcolin has produced Tom Ford eyewear since 2005 under a perpetual licence.
- Face fit
- Flat base adds angles to round faces and upswept corners add contrast to rectangular ones; a 16 mm bridge suits low nasal bridges.
- Nose pad adjustability
- The nose pads are integrated into the acetate frame and not adjustable.
- Material
- Acetate frame with metal accents; the acetate is hypoallergenic under sweat contact.
- Frame fitting
- With daily wear the acetate frame warms and moulds to your head; nose pads are fixed.
- Durability
- Black colour runs through the acetate, so scratches do not reveal a lighter core.
- Sun protection
- The dark lenses are Category 3, block 82–92% of visible light, and provide full UVA/UVB filtering for bright days.
- Lens tint
- In the Black colorway, the dark gray lens tint is solid and uniform rather than gradient.
- Repairability
- Surface scratches and white oxidation film can often be professionally polished away.
- Cleaning
- Clean the acetate only with lukewarm water and mild pH-neutral soap; alcohol-based cleaners damage it.
- Break-in
- Acetate gradually molds to your head over the first month of daily wear
- Size fit
- A 16 mm bridge and 147 mm temples put the fit toward lower nasal bridges with long wrap behind the ear
- Frame fit stability
- The frame's acetate weight keeps it seated on the bridge during movement
- Hypoallergenic
- Acetate frame is hypoallergenic and stays inert against bare skin in heat
- Custom fit
- The acetate frame can be heat-adjusted by an optician for a custom fit.
- Bridge fit
- 16 mm bridge is narrower than Tom Ford's 21 mm Athena and 18 mm Fashion FT0846 cat-eyes.
- Temple length
- 147 mm temple: 2 mm longer than Athena, 7 mm longer than Fashion FT0846.
- Bridge width
- 16 mm bridge: 5 mm narrower than Athena, 2 mm narrower than Fashion FT0846.
- Face shape
- Upsweep offsets rectangular or oblong faces; square base builds round-face structure.
- Smile clearance
- Outer wings must clear the cheekbones on a smile check; contact means the frame sits low and can't be adjusted higher.
- Variant availability
- Black is offered in one size only; there is no alternate bridge or eye width if the smile check fails.
- Storage
- Store in the included rigid case with temples closed, stopping creep that flattens the cat-eye.
- Care
- Sunscreen, cosmetic oils, and alcohol cleaners can damage the acetate; clean with mild soap and water.
- Heat comfort
- Acetate frame heat-molds to the head over about a month, and its weight keeps it seated on sweaty skin.
- Colorway
- Only the Black frame with dark gray lenses is offered, in ONE SIZE
- Model identification
- The listing carries style code 313-21259-6525403 and does not publish a Tom Ford FT0xxx manufacturer model number, so the frame cannot be looked up by Tom Ford's FT model code.
