Stubbs

Stubbs Prescription Glasses

Square frames have a confident, modern look that works almost anywhere. The Stubbs is a men’s full-rim square frame, sized 52-18-145, in Grey & Blue Tort or Red Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Walter & Herbert collection.

Grey & Blue Tort or Red Tort?

Grey & Blue Tort. The Grey & Blue Tort version is grey and blue tortoiseshell. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Red Tort. The Red Tort version is red tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Design details

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. It is a bolder frame, so it makes a statement without trying too hard.

The Stubbs is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Short hair and a clean shave make the frame shape stand out; with longer hair or a beard it reads as more relaxed.

Frame size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Stubbs

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

From our lab to you

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Stubbs before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.
