Abercrombie & Fitch AF00026

What the AF00026 is

In the photos the Abercrombie & Fitch AF00026 is an oval lens, softer than a round one. It has a full rim all the way round each lens. The frame sits on a plain single bridge, and the nose rest is part of the frame. The feed gives the material as plastic, though in the photos the front looks like acetate. It has acetate temples. The branding sits on the lens. The detail that stands out is the translucent frame with visible wire core. Abercrombie & Fitch files this colourway as code 57Y.

Reading the size

Written on the inside of the temple as 55-18-135, those are the lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. A 55 mm lens puts it in the large range for sunglasses, so check it against a pair you already own. If the fit needs a tweak once it arrives, any optician can adjust it; pairs ship exactly as the maker packed them.

What the lens does

Violet lenses are fitted. A coloured tint like this is chosen for its look as much as for shade. An even, flat tint. The supplier's data carries no polarization or UV rating for this pair, so we claim none.

Same frame, other colourways

The AF00026 is also listed here as 52E (Dark Havana with brown lenses) and 01A (Shiny Black with smoke lenses). Shape and size are the same; only the finish changes.
