The Persol Jean 3310S sunglasses bring 1970s pilot style into the modern era with a squared acetate frame that balances retro inspiration and contemporary wearability. Named after the decade that defined casual cool, this unisex frame features bold medium-sized temples, a pillow-shaped front, and the unmistakable Italian craftsmanship Persol has delivered since 1917.
Meflecto Flexible Temple System
What sets the Jean 3310S apart is Persol's patented Meflecto system, visible as the signature grooves running along each temple. Developed in the 1930s, this flexible stem technology uses metal cylinders embedded in the acetate, intersected by a harmonic steel core, allowing the temples to bend and adapt to your unique head shape. The result? All-day comfort without pressure points, even during extended wear. The system requires over 10 additional production steps compared to standard frames, but the payoff is a fit that feels custom-made.
Premium Barberini Lenses & Prescription-Ready Design
The Jean 3310S comes equipped with Barberini mineral glass lenses, known for superior optical clarity and scratch resistance. Available in multiple lens options including polarized variants (select colorways feature dark blue polarized and polar brown lenses), these lenses deliver 100% UV protection and crisp visual performance. The frame is fully prescription-ready, accommodating single vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses—making it as functional as it is stylish.
Design Details That Matter
The squared acetate construction is lightweight yet durable, available in rich finishes like Havana tortoise, Terra di Siena brown, matte dark green, and classic black. Select colorways feature unique two-toned temples, with a contrasting color appearing between Persol's iconic Arrow hinge and the Meflecto system. The single bridge and full-rim design suit a wide range of face shapes, with two size options (54mm and 57mm lens width) to dial in your fit. Handmade in Italy using cellulose acetate that goes through thirty manual processes, each frame carries the brand's commitment to quality over speed.
From the commute to weekend trips, the Jean 3310S moves effortlessly between settings. It's a frame for those who appreciate engineering as much as aesthetics—proof that comfort and style don't have to compromise.

What is the Meflecto system on Persol sunglasses?
The Meflecto is Persol's patented flexible temple system, first developed in the 1930s. It uses metal cylinders and a harmonic steel core embedded in the acetate temples, allowing them to bend and adapt to your unique head shape.

The Persol Jean 3310S is available in two lens widths: 54mm and 57mm, both with an 18mm bridge and 145mm temples.

The universal fit design and adjustable nosepads accommodate most face shapes comfortably.
What are Barberini lenses and why are they special?
Barberini lenses are premium mineral glass lenses made in Italy using advanced manufacturing processes. They offer superior optical clarity, exceptional scratch resistance, and the purest visual image compared to standard plastic lenses.

Persol Jean 3310S vs. Iconic Persol Alternatives
Choosing between Persol models comes down to your style preference and how you plan to wear them. The Jean 3310S occupies a unique space in the Persol lineup—it's a contemporary take on 70s pilot style with squared edges and bold temples, distinct from the brand's vintage-inspired classics.
Jean 3310S vs. Persol 0649: Modern vs. Timeless
The Persol 0649 is the brand's most famous model, worn by everyone from Steve McQueen to modern style icons. It features a smaller, rounder profile with the signature keyhole bridge and folding design—pure vintage appeal. The Jean 3310S, by contrast, offers a larger squared pilot shape with a more contemporary feel. If you want a frame that nods to the past without living in it, the 3310S delivers. The 0649 is for purists who want the classic Persol look; the Jean 3310S is for those who appreciate heritage but prefer a bolder, more modern silhouette.
Jean 3310S vs. Persol 2803S: Squared Siblings
The Persol 2803S shares the Jean 3310S's squared aesthetic but with a cleaner, more understated design. The 3310S stands out with its 70s pilot inspiration, two-toned temple options, and Barberini glass lenses across the range. The 2803S is slightly more affordable and offers a refined, minimalist take on the rectangular shape. Choose the 3310S if you want distinctive retro character; go with the 2803S if you prefer subtle sophistication.
Jean 3310S vs. Persol 3019S: Premium vs. Accessible
The Persol 3019S is an excellent entry point into the brand, starting at a lower price while maintaining Persol's Italian craftsmanship. However, the Jean 3310S justifies its premium with Barberini mineral glass lenses, the distinctive 70s-inspired design, and bolder temple construction. If this is your first Persol and you're testing the waters, the 3019S is a smart choice. If you know you want the full Persol experience with standout design and premium optics, the Jean 3310S is worth the investment.
Our take: The Jean 3310S is the right choice if you want a frame that feels both vintage-inspired and current, with the comfort of the Meflecto system and the optical performance of Barberini glass. It's a daily-wear frame that works from the office to the weekend, with enough character to stand out without trying too hard.
