DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Chesterfield 78XL Eyeglasses deliver professional style and all-day comfort in a full-rim square metal frame built for men. Designed with larger face shapes in mind, these prescription-ready frames feature clean lines, durable stainless steel construction, and a modern matte finish that works equally well in the office or on the weekend.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

The 78XL frame is built from stainless steel, a material prized for its resistance to corrosion, rust, and daily wear. Stainless steel frames offer an excellent balance of strength and lightweight comfort—they're lighter than many other metal alloys yet maintain their shape and finish over years of use. The hypoallergenic properties make them a safe choice for sensitive skin, while the material's flexibility allows for easy adjustments to achieve a customized fit. Available in three versatile matte finishes—Matte Black, Matte Gray, and Brown—the 78XL pairs with any wardrobe.

Square Frames for Round and Oval Faces

The square lens shape adds structure and definition, making the 78XL particularly flattering for men with round or oval face shapes. The angular frame creates visual balance by contrasting softer facial features, while the full-rim design provides a bold, confident look. Two size options are available: 57-17-150 and 59-17-155 (lens width-bridge width-temple length in millimeters), ensuring a proper fit for medium to larger faces. The single-bridge design and adjustable nose pads deliver stability and comfort during extended wear.

Prescription-Ready for Your Vision Needs

These frames are fully compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive prescription lenses. The generous lens height (39mm in the 57mm size) provides ample room for progressive lens corridors, making the 78XL a practical choice for multifocal wearers. Manufactured by Safilo USA, Chesterfield eyewear is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty and ships with a protective case and cleaning cloth.

Exact replacement

My frames purchased at my eye doctor broke out of warranty, so I ordered replacements from designeroptics.com. They were an exact match for less than half the price!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Chesterfield 78XL frames compatible with progressive lenses?

Yes, the Chesterfield 78XL frames are fully compatible with progressive and bifocal lenses. The frame's lens height of 39mm (in the 57mm size) provides sufficient vertical space for the progressive lens corridor, which allows for smooth transitions between distance, intermediate, and reading vision zones. The full-rim design securely holds multifocal lenses in place.

What face shapes work best with square eyeglass frames?

Square frames like the Chesterfield 78XL are best suited for round and oval face shapes. The angular frame shape creates visual contrast with softer facial features, adding definition and balance. Men with square faces can also wear square frames if they choose styles with slightly softened corners or moderate thickness to avoid an overly angular appearance.

What are the benefits of stainless steel eyeglass frames?

Stainless steel frames offer exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight comfort. They resist rust and tarnishing, maintain their appearance over time, and are hypoallergenic—making them safe for sensitive skin. Stainless steel frames are also easily adjustable for a customized fit and typically cost less than titanium while delivering similar performance benefits.

What sizes are available for the Chesterfield 78XL?

The Chesterfield 78XL is available in two sizes: 57-17-150 and 59-17-155. The first number (57 or 59mm) is the lens width, 17mm is the bridge width, and the temple length is either 150mm or 155mm. These measurements make the 78XL well-suited for medium to larger face sizes, consistent with Chesterfield's focus on frames that fit comfortably on bigger faces.

Does the Chesterfield 78XL come with a warranty?

Yes, Chesterfield eyewear manufactured by Safilo USA is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty. The frames also come complete with a matching protective case and microfiber cleaning cloth to help maintain your eyeglasses.

Can I add prescription lenses to the Chesterfield 78XL frames?

Absolutely. The Chesterfield 78XL frames are prescription-ready and can be fitted with a wide range of lens options including single-vision, bifocal, progressive, blue-light blocking, and transition lenses. The full-rim metal construction securely holds prescription lenses of varying thicknesses, and the frame can be adjusted by an optician for optimal lens positioning.

If you're considering the Chesterfield 78XL, you may also want to explore other frames in the Chesterfield XL collection. These models share the same design philosophy—durable metal construction, sizing for larger faces, and affordable pricing—but offer subtle variations in style.

Chesterfield 78XL vs. 77XL

Both the 78XL and 77XL are square metal frames manufactured by Safilo USA with similar sizing and construction. The 77XL is priced slightly higher ($89.32–$95.74 vs. $74.07–$89.32 for the 78XL), which may reflect different finish options or design details. Both models accommodate larger faces comfortably and are prescription-ready for single-vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses. If you prefer the 78XL's matte finishes (Matte Black, Matte Gray, Brown), it offers excellent value, while the 77XL may provide alternative color choices.

Chesterfield 78XL vs. 55XL

The 55XL ($85.03–$85.97) is another metal frame option in the XL collection. While specific frame shape details vary, both models are built for men with larger faces and share Chesterfield's reputation for quality stainless steel construction and comfortable all-day wear. The 78XL's square shape is particularly flattering for round and oval faces, so your face shape and style preference should guide your choice.

Why Choose the 78XL?

The Chesterfield 78XL stands out for its clean square design, versatile matte finishes, and competitive pricing starting at $74.07. The full-rim construction provides durability and secure lens retention, while the stainless steel material delivers lightweight comfort and corrosion resistance.
