Stetson SS3002 vs. Other Stetson Eyeglasses
If you're considering the Stetson SS3002, you might also be looking at other frames in the Stetson collection. Here's how the SS3002 compares to similar models in our catalog.
SS3002 vs. Stetson S340 and S366
The Stetson S340 and Stetson S366 are both priced identically to the SS3002 at $89.94, making them direct alternatives if you're drawn to the Stetson brand but want to explore different style variations. All three models offer the same quality acetate construction, full-rim support for prescription lenses, and the durability Stetson is known for. The main differences come down to subtle design details—frame proportions, temple styling, and available colors. If you like the Stetson philosophy but want to see a few options before committing, these models are worth comparing side-by-side.
SS3002 vs. Stetson Off Road OR5017
The Stetson Off Road OR5017 represents a more budget-friendly entry point into the Stetson family at $53.73-$62.48. The Off Road line is designed for extra durability and rugged use, but it typically uses metal construction rather than acetate. If your priority is getting the Stetson name at the lowest possible price and you don't mind metal frames, the OR5017 is a solid choice. However, if you prefer the hypoallergenic properties, lighter weight, and richer color options of acetate, the SS3002 is worth the additional investment.
Why Choose the SS3002?
The SS3002 sits in the sweet spot of Stetson's lineup: premium acetate construction, classic rectangle styling, and a price point that's accessible without compromising on quality. It's the right choice if you want a versatile, professional frame that works for daily wear and accommodates any prescription type. The acetate material is more comfortable for all-day wear than metal, and the full-rim design provides excellent durability and lens support.
