Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Persol 649 Original fit?

This pair is the 54-20-145 regular fit, and the Meflecto stems flex to settle onto your temples. Customer feedback across enthusiast communities agrees the 649 wears generously on the face, so the 54 suits average to larger head sizes best.

What are the lenses and frame made of?

The frame is handcrafted acetate and the lenses are crystal glass, a combination Persol has used for decades. Acetate is light and warms slightly to the face, while crystal lenses give sharp, distortion free clarity.

What makes the 649 shape distinctive?

The 649 is a full rim pilot silhouette first drawn in 1957 for Turin tram drivers. A classic keyhole bridge sits at the nose, and the signature silver arrow anchors each temple where the Meflecto stem system begins.

What should I wear the Persol 649 with?

These read best with simple, well cut pieces: a linen camp shirt, a chambray button down, a navy sport coat, or a plain tee and chinos. Both the havana and black colorways carry from casual to dressed up.

How do I care for the Persol 649?

Wipe the crystal lenses with the included soft cloth rather than a shirt hem, which can scratch coatings. Store them in the supplied case, and keep the acetate away from prolonged heat such as a car dashboard.

When and where are the 649 best worn?

Year round whenever there is glare: driving, patio lunches, boat days, travel days, and bright winter walks. The heritage pilot shape does not date, so it suits summer holidays and everyday errands equally.
