Perfect for sunny city strolls, weekend getaways, and terrace lunches, these vintage Tom Ford sunglasses bring polished edge to any look. The black acetate frame and grey tinted lenses offer effortless style from morning errands to late-afternoon drives.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What do the size numbers 52-20-140 mean on these Tom Ford sunglasses? A: They indicate lens width (52 mm), bridge width (20 mm), and temple length (140 mm). To gauge fit, compare these numbers with a pair you already own; a close match usually means a similar fit.
Q: Do the lenses provide UV protection? A: Tom Ford sunglasses are made with lenses that provide 100% UV protection. This pair has grey-tinted lenses; always wear sunglasses only in appropriate light conditions and never for night driving.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: The product information for this pair does not list polarised lenses. Tom Ford offers some models with polarised lenses, but unless it is explicitly stated in the product information, you should assume a standard (non‑polarised) tint. If polarisation matters to you, contact us and we can check for you.
Q: Are grey lenses good for everyday wear and driving? A: Grey tints reduce brightness while keeping colour perception neutral, making them a versatile choice for bright conditions and daytime driving. For road use, choose lenses within the appropriate filter categories (typically 0–3) and avoid wearing any sunglasses at night.
Q: Can prescription lenses be fitted to these frames? A: Yes. Most Tom Ford acetate frames can be glazed with prescription sun or clear lenses by a qualified optician. They will confirm lens options (single vision, progressive, polarised, etc.) based on your prescription and needs.
Q: How can I verify authenticity? A: Authentic Tom Ford eyewear typically features the metal T detail at the hinges, precise model and size markings on the inner arms, a Made in Italy mark, and many models include an etched serial number at the inner tip of the left temple. As a vintage and second‑hand specialist, A Retro Tale thoroughly authenticates every item before listing.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a cleaning cloth or booklet is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I clean and care for acetate frames and lenses? A: Rinse with lukewarm water, use a drop of mild soap on your fingertips, rinse again, and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid ammonia, bleach, acetone, or alcohol‑based cleaners, and do not expose the frame to high heat (for example, on a car dashboard). Store the sunglasses in their case when not in use.
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if they feel loose or tight? A: Acetate frames can be adjusted with gentle heat by a professional optician (for temple angle or tip bend). We don’t recommend DIY bending on a vintage frame. Low‑bridge wearers may also benefit from discreet stick‑on nose pads fitted by an optician.
Q: Can scratched or tired lenses be replaced later? A: Yes. Many optical labs can cut high‑quality replacement lenses (including polarised or mirrored options) to fit Tom Ford frames. An experienced optician can advise on material, tint, and coatings to suit your use.
