Are the lenses polarized?

The standard PO0649 ships with grey crystal lenses that are not polarized. Persol does offer polarized versions of some colorways, so check the lens marking before buying.

Will the 54-20 size fit me?

The 54mm lens and 20mm bridge suit medium to large faces. If you wear a narrow frame or have a small face, the 52mm version is the better fit.

You get the sunglasses, a Persol case and a cleaning cloth. Some sellers include the original paperwork and lens certificate; confirm with the store if that matters to you.

How does it compare with the PO0714 folding model?

The PO0714 folds at the bridge and temples for packing, while the PO0649 is a fixed-frame aviator. The 0649 is simpler and slightly lighter to wear; the 0714 is easier to carry.

Is the striped blue and grey color hard to find?

Yes. Seasonal striped finishes sell in fewer stores than Havana or black, and stock varies by retailer. Check several stores before settling on a price.

Persol and authorized dealers discount most around end-of-season sales and major shopping events. Prices on limited colorways move less because stock is thin.

Our take on the Persol PO0649 Aviator Sunglasses

The Persol PO0649 is a teardrop aviator in acetate, not the thin metal wire most aviators use. It carries Persol's signature Supreme Arrow hinge and Meflecto temple system, and the 54-20 size fits medium to large faces. Grey crystal lenses cut glare without heavy tinting. The striped blue and grey colorway is a seasonal finish, so it sells in fewer places than the classic Havana.
