Polo Ralph Lauren PH4220F

The PH4220F at a glance

The photos show a square front with a flat brow and squared corners. The lens is held by a full rim all the way round each lens. The frame sits on a saddle bridge that spreads the weight across the nose, and the nose rest is part of the frame. The feed gives the material as acetate. Acetate is the plant-based plastic that most designer frames are cut and polished from sheet; it holds deep colour and an optician can re-adjust it with heat. Acetate temples with a metal plaque at the hinge complete the frame. The branding sits on the lens. The detail that stands out is the metal detailing at temple hinge. The colour code is 614071, Polo Ralph Lauren's own name for this finish.

The numbers on the temple

The size is 55-19-145: 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. Frames ship as the maker boxed them, without adjustment, and a local optician can fine-tune the fit.

Lens colour and finish

The lenses are bottle green. A green tint sits between grey and brown: natural colour with a touch more contrast. An even, flat tint. The supplier's data carries no polarization or UV rating for this pair, so we claim none.

Shipping and returns, plainly

It arrives as Polo Ralph Lauren packed it: new, in the brand's box, with the case and cloth the brand puts in. Shipping inside the US is free; the supplier packs it on business days, normally within two, and emails tracking. Change your mind within 30 days and send it back unworn in its box; the return label we email is deducted from the refund. A defect, wrong item or damage on the way is returned free if reported within 7 days.
