The Original Penguin The Hopper 2.0 Eyeglasses bring retro-cool style to your everyday prescription frames. These men’s rectangular eyeglasses feature a full-rim acetate construction that balances durability with lightweight comfort—perfect for all-day wear whether you’re at the office or out on the weekend.
What sets the Hopper 2.0 apart is its distinctive gradient acetate finish. The tortoise variant fades from rich amber tones at the top rim to crystal-clear at the bottom, creating a sophisticated two-tone look that’s hard to find in this price range. The crystal, dark sapphire, dark meadow, copen blue, cedar syrup, and jungle colorways offer everything from transparent minimalism to bold statement hues. Original Penguin’s roots trace back to the golden age of American menswear, and these frames capture that Rat Pack-era vibe—updated for modern tastes.
The rectangular shape (51mm lens width, 18mm bridge, 140mm temples) suits most face shapes, especially round or oval faces looking for balance. Slim temples curve inward gently and widen at the tips for a secure, slip-resistant fit behind the ears. The full-rim design provides maximum lens stability and works well for stronger prescriptions, including progressive and bifocal lenses.
These frames are made from cellulose acetate, a plant-based material prized for its hypoallergenic properties and rich color depth. Unlike injection-molded plastic, acetate can be professionally adjusted for a custom fit and polished back to its original finish if minor scratches develop over time. The material is flexible enough to withstand daily wear but should be kept away from extreme heat—car dashboards and saunas can warp acetate permanently.
The Hopper 2.0 ships with a protective case and cleaning cloth. Each frame is manufactured by Kenmark Eyewear and backed by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty covering defects. You can add prescription lenses (single-vision, progressive, or bifocal), anti-reflective coatings, blue light filtering, and even custom clip-on sunglasses to make these frames work exactly how you need them.
