DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Original Penguin The Hogan Eyeglasses bring mid-century cool to modern prescription eyewear. These round metal frames draw straight from the brand's 1950s roots—the same era when Original Penguin's iconic golf shirts were favorites of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. If you're after a vintage-inspired look that doesn't feel like a costume, the Hogan delivers.

Lightweight Metal Construction Built to Last

The frames are made from stainless steel, which means they're light enough for all-day wear but strong enough to handle daily use. The full-rim design wraps completely around the lenses, giving you maximum stability and durability—no worrying about loose lenses or flimsy construction. The wire-core temples curve gently behind your ears for a secure, comfortable fit that stays put without pinching.

At 50mm lens width and 20mm bridge, the Hogan fits most average faces comfortably. The 145mm temples and 127mm total frame width make these a true medium size. Available in three finishes—Gunmetal for a sleek modern look, classic Black, and warm Antique Gold—each colorway features subtle textured detailing on the metal that adds depth without being flashy.

Who Should Wear Round Frames?

Round eyeglasses work best if you have angular or square facial features. The circular shape softens a strong jawline and balances out broad foreheads and prominent cheekbones. If your face is more rectangular or oblong, round frames add width and visual interest. They're a smart pick for anyone who wants to look approachable and a little bit intellectual without trying too hard.

Prescription-Ready and Easy to Customize

These frames are fully prescription-ready. You can add single-vision lenses for distance or reading, progressive lenses for multifocal correction, or even blue light filtering and anti-reflective coatings. The full-rim metal construction holds prescription lenses securely, and the frame can accommodate a wide range of prescriptions. Each pair comes with a protective case and cleaning cloth, and they're backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty from Kenmark Eyewear.

Original Penguin has been blending retro style with everyday wearability since 1955, and the Hogan is a perfect example of that balance. These aren't statement frames that demand attention—they're the kind of glasses you reach for every morning because they just work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Original Penguin The Hogan eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Hogan frames are fully prescription-ready. The full-rim metal construction securely holds prescription lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and progressive multifocal lenses. You can also add coatings like anti-reflective, blue light filtering, or transition lenses to customize your eyewear.

What face shape works best with round eyeglasses like the Hogan?

Round frames like the Hogan work best for angular face shapes—particularly square, rectangular, and oblong faces. The circular shape softens strong jawlines and balances prominent cheekbones. If you have a round face, angular frames are typically more flattering, though personal preference always matters most.

What are the measurements of the Original Penguin The Hogan frames?

The Hogan measures 50mm lens width, 20mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length, with a total frame width of 127mm. This is considered a medium size that fits most average adult faces comfortably. The round lens shape provides good coverage for reading and everyday wear.

What material are the Hogan eyeglasses made from?

The Hogan frames are made from stainless steel, a durable and lightweight metal material. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, hypoallergenic for most wearers, and strong enough for daily use while remaining comfortable for extended wear. The wire-core temples provide flexibility and a secure fit.

Is Original Penguin a good eyewear brand?

Yes, Original Penguin is a reputable premium lifestyle brand founded in 1955 with roots in American heritage. The eyewear is manufactured by Kenmark Eyewear and comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty. Customer reviews consistently praise Original Penguin frames for their quality materials, comfortable fit, and excellent value compared to higher-priced designer brands.

What comes included with the Original Penguin The Hogan eyeglasses?

Each pair of Original Penguin The Hogan eyeglasses comes with a protective case and microfiber cleaning cloth. The frames are backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. All frames are authentic designer eyewear manufactured by Kenmark Eyewear.

Choosing Between Original Penguin Round Frames

If you're drawn to the vintage round metal aesthetic of the Hogan, you might also consider THE JAMES, another round metal frame in the Original Penguin collection. Both share the same 1950s-inspired design language and stainless steel construction at nearly identical price points. The main differences come down to subtle variations in sizing, temple design, and available color options. If the Hogan's 50mm lens width doesn't quite fit your face, THE JAMES might offer slightly different proportions that work better for you.

For customers who love Original Penguin's quality but aren't sure round frames suit their face shape, THE CHARLTON and THE PRINCETON offer alternative styles at the same price tier. THE CHARLTON provides a different frame shape that may better complement round or oval faces, while THE PRINCETON offers yet another silhouette option. All three alternatives maintain Original Penguin's commitment to retro-inspired design, durable construction, and prescription-ready versatility.

The Hogan stands out if you specifically want the classic round metal look—it's the most direct homage to the intellectual, mid-century aesthetic that made round frames iconic. The lightweight stainless steel and full-rim construction make it practical for daily wear, while the three finish options (Gunmetal, Black, Antique Gold) let you choose between modern sleek and vintage warm tones. If that combination of vintage style and modern durability is what you're after, the Hogan is your best bet in the Original Penguin lineup.
