Polaroid Core PLD6186/S

What the PLD6186/S is

Seen front on, this is a square front with a flat brow and squared corners. It has a full rim all the way round each lens. It rests on a saddle bridge that spreads the weight across the nose, and the nose rest is part of the frame. Our supplier's data says plastic for the frame, while the photos read as acetate. The frame is finished with acetate temples. The branding sits on the lens. Look for the vertical gold bar rivets on frame front. Colour 0086UC is how Polaroid Core labels this version.

The numbers on the temple

It measures 54-18-145, which is the lens width, then the bridge, then the temple length, all in millimetres. The lens width of 54 mm is medium for a sunglasses frame. If the fit needs a tweak once it arrives, any optician can adjust it; pairs ship exactly as the maker packed them.

Through the lens

Lens colour: green polarized. A green tint sits between grey and brown: natural colour with a touch more contrast. An even, flat tint. The supplier lists these lenses as polarized, which cuts the glare that bounces off water, road and glass.

Same frame, other colourways

We also carry the PLD6186/S as 0807M9 (Black with grey polarized lenses), the same frame in other finishes.
