Savile Row 18Kt Beaufort - Half Covered Cable Temples

These frames are very well made and look beautiful. The frames are hand made and it shows in the finer details. The screws that hold the arms are custom made for your glasses and you can tell by the slight imperfections which give the glasses a unique character. They are solid in construction and the metal on the nose pieces are very rigid but the arms can easily be adjusted to fit your face. I actually sat on them by accident and bent the hinge that is connected to the metal part of the frame at about a 45 degree angle from where it should have been but it didn't break! I carefully bent the hinge back into place and they still look how they did the day I got them. If you want a pair of timeless glasses that will stand the test of time, stop hesitating. Buy these.

I have owned this frame for 30 years (three frames over that time; one for sunglasses). The frame is strong and the cables are easy to adjust. The only downside is I live in the desert and perspire a lot. The tortoise shell covers become unglued. But the company provides new ones. Excellent customer service. Overall an excellent product.

Like my new glasses a lot , took some getting used to , especially the wire arms , hurt my ears. I could not wear them for long at first but now there fine , The lenses are bit odd as when I look down on them , the reading section doesn't seem to extend to the bottom of the lense.

This is an extremely handsome eyeframe. The workmanship is superb. The frame itself is very sturdy and the combination of both gold metal frame and tortoise shell rims is a true winner. The prettiest tortoise shell glasses I've ever owned.

I first purchased this style (here) 11 years ago, however I ordered with "standard (fully covered acetate, no wire)temple pieces" and they have always worked great. However throughout the years I always regretted not having the "half-covered" original temple versions, so I contacted the good folks here, got pricing info and then ordered. I cannot tell you how wonderful the ordering experience was over the phone -- I received excellent and most attentive service and the order arrived even sooner then promised. And, the good news is one cannot even tell the difference in age between the lens fronts of these eyeglasses and the new additions of the temple plates -- These frames really do stand the "test of time"! Two thumbs up on the frames and Frames Direct, as well! Thank you!
