Cut from 6 mm acetate sheet rather than injection-moulded, which is why the colour goes all the way through and why it weighs 28 g. The brow is flat, the lower rim is gently rounded, and the temples are a full 5 mm wide at the hinge. It takes thick lenses without the edges showing.
Acetate loosens in heat. Leave it on a car dashboard or by a radiator and the temples will splay; a heated-and-reset by an optician brings them back, but repeatedly doing so eventually tires the hinge. Keep it out of the sun when it is not on your face.

Worn first. Six of us wore this frame daily for a month before it was listed. The weight and the hinge type above are what we measured, not what the supplier told us.
