Tom Ford FT0996

The FT0996, front to temple tip

In the photos the Tom Ford FT0996 is the teardrop pilot lens that drops below the brow line. The lens is held by a full rim all the way round each lens. It rests on a double-bar bridge, with adjustable nose pads. The feed gives the material as metal. A metal front is thinner and lighter on the face than acetate. The frame is finished with metal temples with acetate tips. The colour code is 01J, Tom Ford's own name for this finish.

Size and fit

The size is 62-14-145: lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. At 62 mm across the lens this is a extra large frame. It ships unadjusted, straight from the box; a quick visit to an optician sorts any fit issue.

The vintage brown lenses

The lenses are vintage brown. A brown tint warms the view slightly and sharpens contrast. The supplier's data carries no polarization or UV rating for this pair, so we claim none.

The FT0996 in other finishes

The FT0996 is also listed here as 28A (Rose Gold with smoke silver mirror lenses), 32Y (Pale Gold with violet lenses) and 08N (Shiny Gunmetal with vintage green lenses). Shape and size are the same; only the finish changes.

What you get, and how it ships

Nothing is opened or handled before you: a new Tom Ford pair in the brand's own packaging, with case and cloth when the brand includes them. 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.
