I love the shades. Amazing customer service with helping me find the right pair. I’ll definitely be back!!

Love em. That’s the review.
'Love em' indeed. What a fantastic photo, and might we add, the man in those aviator shades is absolutely rocking them. We're thrilled to hear you're loving your sunglasses. Thanks a bunch for sharing your picture and spreading the love for our shades! If there's anything else we can do to keep you looking stylish, just give us a shout!

Wow just wow. Just received my first pair of aviators and they are amazing. Ive been searching for sunglasses for my giant head for years. Some are ok but still stretch a bit. These are awesomely “baggy”. Take a look at the pictures. You will see there is no stretch in the arm and the arm isnt squeezing into my temple. So I received the first pair and immediately ordered a second pair. You all are doing Gods’ work!! **For reference my hat size is 7 5/8.
Tower to Reviewer, come in, Reviewer! ️
Just got a visual on those photos you've transmitted over – and oh boy, you are CLEAR for takeoff in the style department! No squeeze on the temple runway and no stretch on the arms taxiway. That's a 10-4 for a perfect fit for that 7 5/8 airfield of yours!
Double ordering? Looks like you're prepping for some heavy air traffic with those aviators. Keep those skies sunny and your head high – you're cruising at maximum altitude in the style zone!
Stay in the loop and keep those shades flying high. Over and out!

They fit comfortably on my face. You can see my facial droop. On the left side of my face. I’m a stroke Survivor Just got them i n the mail today. I will get another pair one for vision. To put inprism lenses . And another for the beach while I’m bathing in the sun

Honestly, the compliments on these have been nonstop. The quality and Apha energy of these sunglasses, mixed with the absolute A++ customer service is unbelievable. I've never in all my years felt more taken care of and appreciated than I have by this company. Ben is an absolute class act, even after I was a bit of Karen. I can promise you'll never find a higher quality product for your big noggin anywhere else and you certainly wont find the peronal touch you get from Faded Days. Im a customer for life. Dont miss out on a great experience and pair of sunglasses! Stay Faded my friends

Amazing product. Looks great and the hinges are high quality. This is my third pair of FD sunglasses. That should speak to how much I love these products
Next up, please make the metal color gunmetal.

I don't know what happened. I tried these glasses on, my wife told me I looked great, and we went to the farmers market. Next thing I know, I'm wearing a robe and leading a cult through the woods outside of Boulder, CO. These things are dope as hell and I'm definitely going to pick up another pair.

I’ve purchased from Faded Days before, but I honestly didn’t know what I was missing until now. Finding sunglasses has always been a pain since I’ve regularly been accused of having a huge noggin, but the 165mm XXL fit is absolute perfection.
They are incredibly comfortable to wear all day long without any pinching. Best of all, it finally doesn’t look like I’m wearing tiny Morpheus glasses from The Matrix. If you were blessed with a giant brain, these are definitely the sunglasses for you!

The glasses are durable and attractive. They would be perfect if I could find a company to change the tint in the frames. I want to be able to wear them inside with a lighter tint. Other than that, I have referred many people to the Faded Days site and I have probably ordered 15 pair so far. Because the glasses are of such good quality, some of my colleagues (those without big heads...lol) are ordering the smaller frames from the website.

These glasses fit. My second pair from Faded Days (the other ones are good too, just wanted different style).
The rest of XXL glasses are like "we added one millimeter of width that should do it!" and it didn't do it.
These sunglasses did it.

First sunglasses that fit my 6'8 330lb husband's head (hat size 7 5/8) AND are fully polarized! He loved them so much he wanted a second pair. Highly recommend for those with a larger head looking for a good pair of sunglasses!

Had initially bought a 155mm previously, and decided to upgrade to 165mm. Fits perfect, and the aviator looks a lot better in person than in the previews. Definitely glad i grabbed these instead if the basic style.
Glad to hear the upgrade paid off — that extra width can make all the difference. Even better knowing the aviators impressed you more in person than in the photos.

Great! I feel like a secret agent in these glasses. They fit well for a big head
Love that — the right pair should make you feel the part. Glad they’ve got both the fit and the secret agent vibe spot on for you.
J
Love it
We love you.

Glasses were okay quality and were actually too large. If you're not limited to this size frame I would look elsewhere for better quality and value. Return policy is not clear that buyer is responsible fir return shipping on top of a $4.95 restocking fee that is called a "shipping fee".
Thank you for your feedback—I’m sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations. I completely understand how frustrating it can be when something doesn’t fit quite right. We do our best to be transparent about our return policy, but I hear you. I genuinely appreciate you giving Faded Days a try, and I’m always here if there’s anything more I can do to help.

I'm going to be honest. I've pretty much given up on sunglasses years ago. I've bought sunglasses that were for "big heads" from so many different outlets and either they were still too small, or the dorkiest looking shades I've ever seen. Those days are behind me! I gave sunglasses one more shot when I stumbled upon Faded Days and their high praise and I'm so glad I did. Wearing sunglasses that, for the first time, don't squeeze my head is SO NICE. I love the aviators and other pair I grabbed and I am definitely going to be a returning customer. I have nothing bad to say about either pair. The only thing I hope for is a larger selection of modern and unique styles (maybe circular or square frames). Other than that, these are seriously the only place to get eyewear for megaminds. If you were let down by Amazon, Ray Ban, Sunglasses Hut, whoever, Faded Days has what you need. I am so happy this company exists and my giant head has FINALLY been considered in the sunglasses world! WOO!
Thank you so much for your honest and detailed feedback. We're thrilled to hear that our sunglasses have met your needs and provided the comfort and style you've been searching for. As a small independent business, we take great pride in offering high-quality eyewear for those who have struggled to find the right fit. Your support and satisfaction mean the world to us.
We're glad to know that you love your aviators and your second pair, and we're excited to have you as a returning customer. If you're looking for circular frames, you might want to check out our 165mm The Scholar Shades, specifically designed for big heads. We appreciate your suggestion for more styles and will certainly keep it in mind for future designs.
Thank you for giving Faded Days a chance and for sharing your experience. Your giant head has definitely been considered, and we're here to ensure you have the best eyewear options available.

The 165 mm aviators were a game-changer for me, especially given my notably large head and face, which earned me the affectionate high school nickname 'Heady.' I can't believe these other companies (cough, Oakley and Ray-Ban) think 140 mm is considered XL!
Dear Mr 'Heady,' :)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's always a joy to hear when one of our pairs becomes a game-changer for someone, especially when they've had a tough time finding the right fit in the past.
We're glad our 165mm aviators have finally given you the comfort and style you deserve. We believe that everyone should have access to glasses that fit well and feel great, no matter the size of their head or face. It's about time you got to enjoy sunglasses that truly suit you!
Your feedback is invaluable and reminds us why we do what we do. Thank you for choosing us, and we're here whenever you need another pair or just want to chat about our latest styles.

I had a journey on the quest to get glasses for my humongous head (8 1/2) and face. I had many interactions with Ben and was extremely happy and amazed with the service provided. If you are looking for glasses and have a huge head, I highly recommend trying a pair from FD and seeing how they work for you!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and experience with us! It truly warms my heart to hear that I was able to assist you so effectively on your quest for the perfect glasses. At Faded Days, we pride ourselves on our customer service and on crafting quality products that meet the unique needs of our customers—big heads included!

Loving the style of these. Retro sexy 70s PUMPKINHEAD cornstar if I even saw it
Roger that! Your review just did a flyby over our headquarters and let me tell you, it's landed with some serious style.
Retro sexy 70s PUMPKINHEAD (c)ornstar? Now that's a new call sign for us! It sounds like you're navigating the adult fashion skies with the confidence of a top gun pilot in a tricked-out, disco-era jet. Keep on cruising at that high altitude of coolness.
As a humble business owner and your personal air traffic controller in the world of eyewear, I'm giving you a clear runway to flaunt that Big and Badass attitude. Remember, in the airspace of style, you're the captain!
Keep those frames flying high, and don't forget to buzz the tower every now and then with your fabulous presence. And in this case, at 165mm, size matters!
