The Experts in True Extra-Wide Sunglasses
At Faded Days, wide sunglasses aren’t a side project - they’re the entire mission. After years of making eyewear, we narrowed our focus to one thing: designing extra-wide frames for people with big heads who fall outside the limits of regular, and even so-called XL fits. No more tight squeezes or awkward returns. Just sunglasses that feel like they were made for your head, because they were.

Hello there, I'm Ben
I started Faded Days in 2012 after moving from England to Florida and losing one too many expensive pairs of sunglasses.
The idea was simple: make high-quality, great-looking shades that didn’t break the bank. Fortunately, they were a hit. A few years in, customers began asking for frames built to fit larger head sizes. As a guy who’s 6 foot 5, I’ve always struggled to find clothing that fits properly, so when customers told me standard sunglasses weren’t working for them, I understood the frustration immediately. We decided to build something better. Instead of stretching existing designs, we engineered wider frames from the ground up. Today, Faded Days is known for building some of the widest, best-fitting sunglasses available. That focus on real width is what defines us.
FAQ
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.
What does 165mm mean in sunglasses sizing?
165mm is the front width of the frame measured across the face. It’s a real measurement that helps you choose a truly wide fit instead of guessing based on “XL” or “XXL” labels.
Who are your widest frames designed for?
Our widest fits are built around true extra wide measurements, including 165mm frames, so customers who need real width can finally get a comfortable fit.
What sizes do you offer for wider head sizes?
We offer multiple frame widths so you can match your fit: 165mm for maximum width, 155mm for wide fits, plus other sizes for people who need something closer to standard.
Are your 165mm frames actually wider than most “XXL” sunglasses?
In many cases, yes. A lot of frames marketed as XXL are only slightly wider than standard sizes. Our 165mm frames are built as a true extra wide option, designed around real measurements.
Do you have a sizing tool to pick the right width?
Yes. You can enter hat size or head circumference in inches and we’ll recommend the correct frame width. It’s the fastest way to choose confidently.
What makes Faded Days different from other wide fit brands?
Wide fit eyewear isn’t a side category for us. We focus on real width, proportional design, and comfort that holds up for all day wear.
Are your lenses polarized and UV400?
Yes. Our lenses are polarized to reduce glare and provide UV protection for everyday outdoor use.
How fast do orders ship?
We process orders within 24 hours on business days. Many U.S. orders placed before 1 PM ET ship the same day, otherwise they ship the next business day.
What if the fit isn’t right?
U.S. customers have 10 days from delivery to try them on at home. If you need a different width, email longman@faded-days.com and we’ll help arrange an exchange.
Still Looking for Sunglasses That Actually Fit?
Most sunglasses are built around standard proportions. If you need genuine extra width, you’ve probably learned the hard way that most “wide” frames are only slightly upsized versions of standard fits.
We built Faded Days differently.
Instead of stretching existing designs and calling them XXL, we engineered frames around real measurements. Our widest options measure a true 165mm across the front, giving people with larger head sizes a fit that feels natural instead of forced.
This wasn’t about creating another variation of standard sunglasses. It was about building extra wide frames from the ground up — with proper proportions, balanced lens size, and comfort that lasts all day.
If you have ever ordered sunglasses labeled “XL” only to find they were barely wider than average, you already understand the problem. We focused on solving it properly.
