DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Chesterfield 66XL Eyeglasses are men's prescription frames designed for larger faces that need more than standard sizing. Built from durable acetate in a clean rectangle shape, these full-rim frames come in three color options—Black Crystal, Brown Crystal, and Blue Crystal—each featuring a gradient fade from darker at the top to translucent at the bottom.

Available in two sizes (56mm and 58mm lens width), the 66XL is part of Chesterfield's extended-fit collection. The 58-17-150 size offers a 58mm lens width, 17mm bridge, and 150mm temple length—measurements that matter if you've struggled with frames that pinch at the temples or slide forward. The full-rim acetate construction provides the structural support needed to hold prescription lenses securely, including stronger prescriptions where the frame edge helps conceal lens thickness.

Manufactured by Safilo USA

Chesterfield frames are produced by Safilo Group, the Italian eyewear manufacturer founded in 1934 and known for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern production. Safilo's acetate frames are cut from solid acetate sheets and go through multiple polishing and finishing steps. The result is a smooth, hypoallergenic frame that's lightweight, flexible, and adjustable—acetate can be gently heated and shaped by an optician for a custom fit.

Prescription-Ready & Face Shape

These frames accept single-vision, progressive, and bifocal prescription lenses. The rectangle shape works particularly well for oval and round face shapes, adding definition and structure. The single-bridge design and 17mm bridge width suit most nose profiles. Each frame includes a one-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I choose for the Chesterfield 66XL eyeglasses?

The Chesterfield 66XL comes in two sizes: 56-17-145 and 58-17-150. The first number is the lens width in millimeters, the second is the bridge width, and the third is the temple length. If standard frames (typically 135-140mm temple length) feel tight or leave marks on your temples, the 58mm size with 150mm temples will provide a more comfortable fit for larger or wider faces.

Can I add prescription lenses to the Chesterfield 66XL frames?

Yes, the Chesterfield 66XL frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides excellent support for prescription lenses, and the frame can accommodate most prescription strengths. You can also add lens coatings like anti-reflective, blue light blocking, or UV protection.

What face shapes work best with rectangle eyeglasses like the 66XL?

Rectangle frames like the Chesterfield 66XL are ideal for oval and round face shapes because their straight lines and angular proportions add definition and contrast. The wider-than-tall frame shape balances facial proportions and creates a refined, structured look. They're also suitable for heart-shaped and diamond-shaped faces.

Are Chesterfield eyeglasses good quality?

Chesterfield eyeglasses are manufactured by Safilo Group, one of the world's largest eyewear companies with over 140 years of experience. Safilo produces frames through a detailed process involving up to 200 steps, from milling and polishing to assembly. The acetate material is durable, flexible, hypoallergenic, and known for holding rich colors and patterns better than standard plastic.

What does XL mean in Chesterfield 66XL?

The XL designation indicates these frames are designed specifically for larger or wider faces. The Chesterfield 66XL features extended measurements including lens widths up to 58mm and temple lengths up to 150mm, compared to standard frames which typically measure 135-140mm at the temples. This sizing prevents the pinching and discomfort that men with larger heads often experience with regular frames.

Can acetate frames be adjusted for a better fit?

Yes, acetate frames like the Chesterfield 66XL can be adjusted by an optician for a custom fit. Acetate is a flexible, plant-based material that can be gently heated and reshaped to adjust the temple curve, nose bridge fit, and overall comfort. This adjustability is one of the key advantages of acetate over standard plastic frames.

Chesterfield 66XL vs. Other XL Eyeglasses

If you're considering the Chesterfield 66XL, you're likely looking for prescription frames that actually fit a larger face. Here's how the 66XL compares to similar models in the Chesterfield XL collection.

Chesterfield 66XL vs. 58XL

Both the 66XL and 58XL are rectangle acetate frames designed for extended fit, but there are key differences. The 66XL features a gradient crystal finish (Black Crystal, Brown Crystal, Blue Crystal) that fades from solid to translucent, while the 58XL may offer different color treatments. Both provide the same XL sizing benefits—wider lens widths and longer temple arms—that prevent the pinching common with standard frames. The 58XL starts at a lower price point ($37), making it a budget-friendly alternative if you like the rectangle shape but want to save money.

Chesterfield 66XL vs. 70XL

The 70XL is priced identically to the 66XL at $89.32 and shares the same Safilo manufacturing quality and one-year warranty. The choice between these two models comes down to style preference—both are built for larger faces with the extended measurements you need. If the 66XL's rectangle shape and crystal gradient colors appeal to you, it's the right choice. If you prefer a different frame shape or color palette, the 70XL offers variety while maintaining the fit you require.

Why Choose the Chesterfield 66XL?

The 66XL stands out for its clean rectangle shape and distinctive crystal gradient finish. The rectangle silhouette is particularly flattering for oval and round face shapes, adding definition and structure. The full-rim acetate construction provides excellent support for prescription lenses, including stronger prescriptions. At $37-$89, you're getting Safilo-manufactured quality at a competitive price, with the extended sizing that makes all-day wear comfortable for larger heads.
