I started Faded Days because I was sick of losing expensive sunglasses. I wanted good-looking, affordable shades that, if I lost them, wouldn't send me into a pit of financial despair. I couldn't find them, so I made my own.
In 2019, we launched our first XXL frames on Kickstarter. That's when everything changed. The sales told me we'd found something people genuinely needed, but the messages meant more. Customers told me they'd never been able to wear sunglasses that fit properly. Some even called finding a pair that fit life-changing.
I don't have a particularly big head myself. I'm 6'5", though, so I've spent most of my life discovering that apparently trouser manufacturers don't believe legs come in my length. I understand how frustrating it is when standard sizing simply wasn't made for you.
That's why wide-fit sunglasses stopped being something Faded Days sold and became what we do. We design our frames specifically for larger heads and publish the actual measurements. And we keep adding more XXL styles because having a big head shouldn't mean settling for whatever happens to fit. You should have a real choice, just like everyone else.
More than 35,000 orders later, we're still a small, independently owned eyewear company, which is increasingly rare these days. I still answer the phone myself, and I'd like to help you find the first pair of sunglasses that ever fit you properly.
If you've spent years thinking sunglasses just aren't made for your head, they are now.
