About CAPTAINE

Captaine, Balmain Eyewearโ€™s premiere Aviator style, clearly builds upon the spirit of some of Olivier Rousteingโ€™s most essential collectionsโ€”those that channel the spirit of bold nomads, daring pilots and intrepid explorers. While it may be riffing on one of the most traditional of frame styles, the Captaine definitely shakes things up a bit by omitting the nose bridge and adding two small golden discs stamped with the Balmain monogram to the oversized lenses. Color choices reflect Balmainโ€™s distinctive DNA, with signature gold, blue and brown tones paired with Japanese acetate. Akoniโ€™s craftsmen have relied on striking tortoise-shell, bone and cracked-leather treatments, allowing each distinct Capitaine option to recall a key Balmain runway moment and helping to make this one of the favorite choices for Balmainโ€™s many celebrity followers.

Understanding frame size

Understanding frame measurements is essential for achieving a precise fit tailored to your preferences. Thanks to a standardized system, finding the right size becomes straightforward.

When considering frame measurements, it's important to focus on three key dimensions: lens width, bridge size, and temple length, all measured in millimeters. These measurements ensure a comfortable and proportional fit that complements your unique facial features and style.

145 mm

EYE

40 - 62 MM

This eye measurement is the horizontal width of a single lens. Typically ranging from 40 to 62mm, with the average size of 49 to 51mm. For sunglasses, consider increasing your average by a minimum of two millimeters to account for the larger frames.

BRIDGE

14 - 25 MM

The bridge measurement refers to the gap between the two lenses, with sizes ranging from 14 to 24mm and the typical size falling between 18 and 21mm. For those with a narrower bridge, choosing a frame under 20mm is advisable. Frames equipped with nose pads offer adjustability, ensuring a a better and more comfortable fit.

Temple

120 - 150 MM

Temple length refers to the length of the arms that stretch towards the ears to hold the frame in place. Consider specific temple lengths if your ear placement significantly deviates from the average.The range is between 120 to 150mm, with the average adult size being between 145 and 148mm.
