The Jack Black Frame & Dust Lens

The JACK is THISTLES’ take on the wayfarer, the frame made famous by the likes of Pacino and Nicholson.

It has a shorter lens than the brand’s original THISTLE frame, keeping a sharp, angular shape with a 90s feel, while wider temple bars give it a slightly oversized look. The frame is cut from cellulose acetate, a plant-based plastic made from cotton fibres and wood pulp, and fitted with five-barrel hinges for durability. Poly Renew lenses provide UV protection, and each pair is handcrafted in Italy.

Together, the familiar wayfarer shape and heavier temples make a classic frame with a little more presence.
