Tommy 34

Tommy 34 Prescription Glasses

The aviator has been a favourite for decades, and for good reason. The Tommy 34 is a men’s full-rim metal aviator frame in Gunmetal, Navy or Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Capello collection.

3 colours to choose from

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Why you will like it

The aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. A bar across the top of the bridge gives the frame a classic aviator touch and adds strength to the front.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Tommy 34 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

Short hair and a clean shave make the frame shape stand out; with longer hair or a beard it reads as more relaxed.

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Tommy 34

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

FAQs

What is a double bridge?

A second bar across the top of the frame, above the nose. It is a classic aviator detail.

Is the Tommy 34 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
