For sunny city breaks, al fresco lunches and weekend drives, Tom Ford's Havana aviator sunglasses add a refined, retro touch while the grey lenses soften bright light. A versatile finishing piece for summer wardrobes, from brunch to beach promenade.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What do the size numbers 60-14-135 mean on these Tom Ford sunglasses? A: They indicate lens width 60 mm, bridge width 14 mm, and temple (arm) length 135 mm. Together they help you and your optician assess fit and prescription lens suitability.
Q: Do Tom Ford sunglasses provide UV protection? A: Yes. Tom Ford sunglasses are designed with UV-protective lenses that offer full UVA/UVB coverage (often described as UV400). Coverage can vary by lens, but Tom Ford models commonly provide 100% UV protection.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: Tom Ford offers both standard and polarised lenses across the range. If polarisation is not stated in the product information for this pair, please assume standard UV-protective lenses and contact us if you would like us to confirm polarisation.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses into these frames? A: In most cases, yes. These acetate aviator frames can usually accept prescription sun or clear lenses. Provide your optician with the size `60-14-135` and they can advise based on your prescription strength and preferred lens type.
Q: Will the 60 mm aviator size suit my face? A: A 60 mm lens width typically suits medium to larger face sizes. Aviator shapes are versatile and tend to flatter oval, heart, and square faces. If you prefer a looser or tighter fit, small adjustments by an optician can refine comfort.
Q: How can the fit be adjusted if they slip or feel tight? A: An optician can warm acetate frames to fine-tune temple curve and alignment. For additional grip on acetate bridges without pad arms, stick-on silicone nose pads can be added. Avoid attempting major bends at home to prevent damage.
Q: How should I clean and care for acetate frames and coated lenses? A: Rinse first with lukewarm water, use a drop of mild soap, then dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid hot water, alcohol, acetone, ammonia-based cleaners, paper towels, or dry wiping, as these can warp acetate or damage lens coatings.
Q: How can I check authenticity on Tom Ford sunglasses? A: Look for signature details such as the metal T motif at the temples, precise TOM FORD markings on the inner arms, a subtle lens etching on many models, and high-quality finishing. Authentic Tom Ford eyewear is made in Italy; model and colour codes should be cleanly printed and consistent.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the product information, this pair comes with a case. Anything included will be stated there; if an item isn’t listed, it is not included. Feel free to ask us to confirm what’s in the box.
Q: What is the condition of this pre-owned pair? A: Very Good overall with light traces of use. The hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close-up views and contact us for any specific condition questions.
