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.
