Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. Thick framed glasses are more than in style – they’re a staple. From the silver screen to the city streets, bold acetate frames like The DAHVEN and DOLT have stood the test of time. Their vintage charm, strong silhouette, and unmistakable character bring structure and presence to any face. Whether in classic Black or a modern translucent hue, thick frames blend heritage design with contemporary cool – and they’re not going anywhere.

They don’t just look good – they look great. Thick frame glasses can add bold definition to your features, sharpen your profile, and elevate your everyday style. On square or oval faces, they bring balance. On round faces, they add edge. And thanks to MOSCOT’s careful proportions and timeless silhouettes, our thicker acetate frames feel just as flattering as they do comfortable – never bulky, always intentional.

Not at home, no. High-quality acetate (like ours) needs professional handling. Trying to bend thick plastic glasses frames on your own can lead to warping or cracking – no good. Instead, stop by a licensed optician or a MOSCOT Shop, where our trained team can make safe adjustments using heat and expert tools. With the right care, your bold frames will keep their shape – and their charm – for years to come.

It's a common question – and the answer is not necessarily. Lens thickness is determined primarily by your prescription, not your frame size.

For stronger prescriptions, lenses require greater curvature to properly correct vision. This can result in thicker edges for nearsighted prescriptions or thicker centers for farsighted prescriptions.

That said, larger frames do contain more lens surface area, which can make lens thickness more noticeable in certain prescriptions.

That's why lens material matters.

For stronger prescriptions, MOSCOT often recommends Hi-Index lenses, which are designed to be thinner and lighter than standard lens materials. This allows wearers to enjoy larger, bolder frames without unnecessary weight or thickness.

The goal is simple: let the frame make the statement – not the lens edge.

Beyond style, thick acetate offers practical advantages.

Premium acetate provides:

  • Exceptional durability
  • Rich color depth
  • Comfortable weight distribution
  • Long-term shape retention
  • The ability to be professionally adjusted

Unlike painted plastics, acetate color runs throughout the material itself, allowing for richer tortoises, crystal hues, and layered patterns that develop character over time.

It's one of the reasons acetate remains the material of choice for many of the world's most iconic frames.

MOSCOT's bold collection celebrates some of our most substantial acetate silhouettes.

Highlights include:

  • The DOLT, our thickest frame, crafted from block acetate with signature raised diamond rivets.
  • The DAHVEN, a classic MOSCOT silhouette featuring bold proportions and sculpted edges.
  • The FOYGEL, a substantial frame available in vibrant colorways that showcase the beauty of acetate.
  • The SPILKES, a bold, bevel-edged design that balances character and refinement.
  • The ZISSEL, compact, confident, and full of personality.

Each frame is available with a variety of lens options and can be customized to fit your vision needs.

Absolutely. Every frame in MOSCOT's bold collection can be fitted with prescription lenses, including:

All prescription lenses are fabricated in MOSCOT's New York laboratory, where over a century of optical expertise informs every step of the process.

Whether you're choosing a bold acetate frame for everyday wear or making a statement with a larger silhouette, our goal remains the same: helping you see clearly while wearing something you'll love for years to come.
