How the Original Penguin Ferguson Compares
If you're considering the Ferguson, you're likely weighing a few other Original Penguin frames in the same collection. Here's how the Ferguson stacks up against its closest competitors in our catalog.
Ferguson vs. The Murphy: Metal Square vs. Acetate Oval
The Murphy offers an oval acetate frame with a smaller 46mm lens width, making it ideal for narrower faces or those who prefer a softer, rounder silhouette. While the Murphy is lighter and comes in more color options, the Ferguson's square metal design provides more structure and definition—particularly flattering for round or oval face shapes. The Ferguson's adjustable nose pads also offer a more customized fit than the Murphy's fixed acetate bridge.
Ferguson vs. The Stewart: Square vs. Oval in Metal
Both frames feature stainless steel construction and adjustable nose pads, but the Stewart's oval shape creates a softer look that's better suited for square or angular faces. If you have a round or oval face and want to add definition, the Ferguson's square silhouette is the stronger choice. The Stewart has a slightly larger 49mm lens width, so if you're between sizes, that may tip the scale. Otherwise, your face shape should guide this decision.
Ferguson vs. The Clyde: Square Metal vs. Square Acetate
The Clyde shares the Ferguson's square shape but swaps metal for bold acetate construction. If you want a statement frame with more color options (the Clyde offers 9), the Clyde delivers. However, the Ferguson's metal construction is lighter, more refined, and better suited for professional settings or all-day wear. The Ferguson's adjustable nose pads also provide superior fit customization compared to the Clyde's fixed acetate bridge.
Our take: Choose the Ferguson if you want a lightweight, versatile square frame with a refined metal aesthetic and adjustable fit. It's the best all-around option for round and oval faces seeking structure and definition without sacrificing comfort.
