Comparing Chesterfield XL Rectangle Frames
If you're considering the Chesterfield Chesterf17XL, you're likely looking for quality metal frames in an XL size that actually fits. Here's how it compares to other options in the Chesterfield XL collection.
Chesterf17XL vs. Chesterf21XL
Both frames are part of Chesterfield's XL line with similar large-fit dimensions, stainless steel construction, and rectangle shapes. The Chesterf17XL offers more color variety (Black, Brown, Navy) and comes in both 56mm and 58mm lens widths with corresponding temple lengths of 145mm and 150mm. The Chesterf21XL is priced at $85.03 compared to the Chesterf17XL's $74.07–$90.42 range. If you want maximum color choice and size flexibility, the Chesterf17XL is the better pick. If you prefer a slightly different aesthetic detail in the temple design, consider the 21XL.
Chesterf17XL vs. Chesterf28XL
The Chesterf28XL is another metal XL frame from Chesterfield at $88.25. Both provide the larger dimensions men with wider faces need, but the frame styling differs. The Chesterf17XL's classic rectangle shape and three color options make it more versatile for both professional and casual settings. The 28XL may appeal if you're looking for a slightly different aesthetic within the same quality and fit standards.
Chesterf17XL vs. 68XL
The Chesterfield 68XL starts at a lower price point ($74.51) and shares the XL sizing philosophy. Both are rectangle metal frames designed for larger faces. The Chesterf17XL's advantage is its broader color selection and the refined temple design with skull temples that curve inward for stability. The 68XL is worth considering if budget is your primary concern and you're flexible on styling details.
Why Choose the Chesterf17XL?
The Chesterfield Chesterf17XL stands out for its combination of classic rectangle styling, three versatile color options, and true XL sizing that delivers on comfort. The adjustable nose pads and skull temple design show thoughtful engineering for all-day wear. At this price point, you're getting Safilo-manufactured quality with a one-year warranty, plus the case and cleaning cloth. For men who've struggled to find metal frames that fit properly, the Chesterf17XL delivers both style and the larger dimensions you actually need.
