You can return your frames to us for an exchange or a refund for the price of the frame. Lenses are done at a 3rd party lab and are non-refundable. In the rare event there is an error the lab will remake the lenses free of charge. All returns need to have a RMA in order to be processed, please contact us beforehand to request an RMA. All frames sent back to us must be postmarked within 7 days of receipt to qualify for a refund, 30 days for an exchange.
Q: What happens if I receive faulty/damaged frames?
Q: How do you measure your frames??
Here is the way we measure our vintage eyeglass frames:
Frame width: The total front width from the outside of the frames.
Lens width: The size of the actual lens, not including the frame around it.
Bridge size: Generally measured as the space between the two lenses. On later plastic frames (Cat-eye, Horn Rim Etc. ) we give the distance between the lenses themselves, whereas on older metal frames we find it more effective to give the distance between the parts of the frame holding the lenses, not the lenses themselves. See below for diagram.
Temple length: Measured from the hinge to the tip, as though they were straightened out.
Between Arms: The total width between the two arms from the inside. We only give this measurement on frames with thick arms where this size is significantly different then the total frame width.
Note: Vintage Eyeglasses tend to run much smaller than modern ones. They were worn much closer to the face. For the best selection of vintage frames, consider wearing the minimum size that would fit you. You can start out by measuring a current pair that fits you and seeing how much smaller you can go. Most frames we sell are medium vintage size. While this would be considered smaller in today's day and age, they will fit most people.
