The 0847 Kingsman Aviator Opticals render the aviator outline in acetate, and that changes the character of the shape entirely: warmer, heavier through the brow, and far more expressive in colour than the pilot frame usually allows.
Five colourways, and the interesting ones repay the attention. Black on Vintage Havana layers dark acetate over aged tortoiseshell. Striped Mustard Havana is bolder and warmer. Smoke Quartz is smoky and translucent. Olive is muted and easy to live with. Granny Chic is exactly as arch as it sounds.
In fit terms this is a classic aviator proportion: broad across the eye with a gentle drop at the outer edge, so it gives the face genuine structure. It is better suited to wearers who like a frame with presence than to anyone after something minimal.
