Woolet 009 Soft Square — Silver Clear

A 158 mm square front is a lot of frame. Silver Clear is how you wear it without announcing it — transparent acetate lets your skin through, so the shape stays and the weight disappears. Same width, half the presence.

It is also the version where you can see how the frame is made: the thickness of the block, the pins set into the hinge. The construction becomes the detail.

Woolet 009 Soft Square is 158 mm across the front. Most brands build to 138–145 mm and call it one size fits most. It fits most. It never fit you.

Drawn wide from the start — not stretched

An XL version of a standard frame is scaled up from a narrow base, so the bridge and lens spacing still fight a wide face. Woolet 009 was drawn at 158 mm from scratch. The temples sit past your face instead of into it, and the 25 mm keyhole bridge rests on the sides of your nose rather than the top — which is what actually stops the slide.

Not sure of your number? Hold two credit cards end to end across your face, temple to temple. A card is 85.6 mm. If two cards barely span it — or don't span it at all — you are 153 mm or wider, and this is your size.

Hand-cut Italian Mazzucchelli acetate

Cut by hand from Italian Mazzucchelli acetate milled in Milan, not injection-moulded. Clear acetate is the least forgiving block to cut — every tool mark shows — which is why so few brands offer it at this width. Cut acetate is also the only way to build a 158 mm front that does not flex, and a flexing front is why wide frames snap. Hand made in EU.

How the 009 Soft Square sits on a wide face

A square front gives a broad face structure: it repeats the width of the cheekbones and gives the eye a horizontal line to follow. The 009 lens is 54 × 44 mm - wider than it is tall - so the frame reads as a confident bar across the face rather than a box. Rounded corners stop it turning severe. The 25 mm keyhole bridge suits a wider, flatter nose bridge. Pick the 009 when you want the glasses to add structure and a strong horizontal line.

Silver Clear in daily wear

Silver Clear is for the man who wants the fit without the frame taking over. Transparent acetate lets skin tone through, so a 158 mm front looks lighter than it is. It pairs with any wardrobe and flatters grey or light hair. With a prescription lens the clear rim also shows how thin the lens edge sits in the frame.

Frequently asked

Will these fit a 160 mm face? Yes. The 158 mm front is comfortable across 153–163 mm. Narrower than that, Woolet Bespoke covers 145–160 mm made to measure, hand made in Greece.

What temple length are they? 150 mm — long enough to clear a wide head before the bend, which is where most frames fail even when the front is right.

Can my optician fit prescription lenses? Yes. Ships with demo lenses, ready for your prescription.
