DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Stetson S228 Eyeglasses bring understated American style to your everyday eyewear. These half-rim metal frames feature a clean rectangular shape that works for the office, the weekend, and everything in between. The stainless steel construction keeps them light on your face while delivering the durability Stetson has been known for since the brand entered eyewear in 1982.

Half-rim frames like the S228 offer a professional, minimalist look—there's a solid metal rim along the top that holds the lenses, while the bottom stays open for an unobtrusive feel. The result is a frame that doesn't dominate your face but still provides structure and support. The stainless steel material resists corrosion and rust, so these frames maintain their appearance through daily wear. Adjustable nose pads let you dial in a comfortable fit, and the metal construction means your optician can easily tweak the temples for a custom feel.

Available in Brown and Gunmetal finishes, the S228 comes in two lens widths—52mm and 55mm—with a 19mm bridge. The skull-style temples curve gently behind your ears for a secure, stable fit. These frames are prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses, making them a versatile choice whether you need distance correction, reading help, or multifocal support.

Stetson eyewear carries the same rugged integrity as the iconic hats that made the name famous. The frames are built for men who want straightforward, no-nonsense style without sacrificing comfort. Stainless steel strikes a smart balance—it's more affordable than titanium but still lightweight and strong enough to handle the bumps of daily life. If you're looking for a dependable pair of frames that won't call attention to themselves but will get the job done, the S228 delivers.

Stetson S228 Eyeglasses

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Stetson S228 eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Stetson S228 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with all lens types, including single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The half-rim design accommodates a wide range of prescriptions, though if you have a very strong prescription, high-index lenses can help keep the lens edges thinner and more attractive.

What are the benefits of stainless steel eyeglass frames?

Stainless steel frames like the S228 offer excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight comfort. They resist rust and tarnishing, maintain their appearance over time, and are easily adjustable for a custom fit. Stainless steel provides many of the same benefits as titanium frames but at a more affordable price point.

What size options are available for the Stetson S228?

The Stetson S228 is available in two lens widths: 52mm and 55mm, both with a 19mm bridge width. The 52mm size works well for small to medium faces, while the 55mm is better suited for medium to larger faces. Temple lengths vary by size (135mm or 140mm) to ensure a proper fit.

Are half-rim frames durable enough for everyday wear?

Yes, half-rim frames are quite durable for everyday use and are sturdier than fully rimless frames. The metal rim along the top provides solid support for the lenses. While the exposed bottom edge requires a bit more care than full-rim frames, the stainless steel construction of the S228 ensures long-lasting performance with proper handling.

Can the Stetson S228 frames be adjusted for fit?

Absolutely. The S228 features adjustable nose pads for customized bridge comfort, and the metal construction allows an optician to easily adjust the temple arms for a perfect fit behind your ears. This adjustability is one of the key advantages of metal frames over plastic alternatives.

Who is Stetson eyewear made by?

Stetson eyeglasses are manufactured by Zyloware, a renowned eyewear manufacturer that has been producing Stetson frames since 1982. The eyewear line carries the same American heritage and quality craftsmanship as the iconic Stetson hat brand, which was established in 1865.

Comparing Stetson Eyeglass Frames

If you're considering the Stetson S228, you might also want to look at other frames in the Stetson collection. The brand offers several models at the same $89.94 price point, all manufactured by Zyloware with the same commitment to quality and durability that Stetson has delivered since 1982.

The Stetson S366 and Stetson S333 are both excellent alternatives to the S228. All three models share the same core benefits: durable construction, prescription-ready design, and that understated masculine style Stetson is known for. The main differences come down to frame shape, rim style (full-rim vs. half-rim), and available color options.

The S228's half-rim rectangular design offers a particularly professional, minimalist look that works well in business settings while remaining versatile enough for casual wear. The stainless steel construction and adjustable nose pads ensure a comfortable, customizable fit. If you prefer the clean lines and lightweight feel of a semi-rimless frame, the S228 is an excellent choice. However, if you're looking for a different shape or a full-rim design for added lens protection, the S366 or S333 might be worth exploring.

All Stetson frames accommodate the full range of prescription lenses—single-vision, bifocal, and progressive—so your choice really comes down to which style best suits your face shape and personal preferences. Each frame delivers the same reliable American craftsmanship at the same competitive price.
