Kingsman Optical
When I first saw the movie I was blown away by the modern English attire.
The most appealing part to me was the glasses. As it turned out the movie franchise spawned an “attirical” market for the fashion, amongst which the frames were of course available for sale. The official frames are made by Cutler & Gross and are hand-crafted from high-quality acetate, available in dark tortoiseshell or classic black with clear demo lenses or tinted lenses.
As always in China the land of the free enterprise, replica frames are available. So decided to compare the qualities of the two.
The official frames have two sizes and the following dimensions:
Medium (Standard) | Large | |
Width: | 136mm | 140mm |
Lens Width: | 51mm | 52mm |
Lens Height: | 37mm | 37mm |
Bridge: | 17mm | 18mm |
Arm Length: | 145mm | 145mm |
The replica frames match to within the mm and are only available in Medium.
Verdict
It appears the replica frames are identical in terms of shape, quality and materials used. The printing however is not. New link to glasses that are IDENTICAL!

Magnoli Clotiers is not the original brand of Kingsman’s glasses. It’s another copy of Cutler and Gross
You are indeed correct Jan. Thanks for that. Post edited.
