HOW TO CUSTOMIZE MOSCOT FRAMES FOR YOUR SPORTS TEAM, EVENT, OR FAN PRIDE

on Jun 01 2026
Your vision is our concern – and so is your team spirit. A jersey comes off after the game. A scarf ends up in the closet. But a great pair of frames? Those go everywhere: from the stands to the street, the tailgate to the after-party, the championship parade to the Monday morning commute. So if you’re looking to rep your team, event, country, or fan pride in a way that actually lasts, Custom Made Tints™ are ready for play. At MOSCOT, we’ve been helping people express themselves since 1915, when Hyman Moscot first set up shop on the Lower East Side. Turns out, personal style and team pride have always had plenty in common: loyalty, color, character, and just the right amount of chutzpah. Here’s how to build a pair that’s uniquely yours. Step 1: Choose Your Frame Every great custom pair starts with the right frame. The LEMTOSH: The icon. Bold, rounded, unmistakably MOSCOT. With multiple sizes and a silhouette that works across a wide range of faces, The LEMTOSH is the go-to for team-color customization.The MILTZEN: A classic round frame rooted in the 1930s. Refined, vintage-inspired, and full of character – perfect for fans who have been loyal since before it was cool.The SHTARKER: Yiddish for “strong one,” and it shows. This metal aviator brings structure, presence, and a little game-day grit.The ZOLMAN: Round, clean, and no-nonsense. For the fan who keeps it sharp and lets the scoreboard do the talking.The FOYGEL: Thick block acetate with a bold personality. Made for those who don’t mind being seen – or heard from the cheap seats.The NEBB: Geometric, crisp, and considered. For the fan who styles game day like a playbook: with intention. Not sure which frame fits best? Start with our Size & Fit guide – or visit a MOSCOT Shop, where fitting frames to faces is what we’ve been doing for over a century. Step 2: Bring in Your Team Colors with Custom Made Tints™ This is where the fun begins. MOSCOT Custom Made Tints™ are hand-dipped in our New York City lab and available in 20+ unique colorways. Each lens is crafted by hand, bringing depth, tone, and personality to your frame. Looking to match your team colors? Blue teams: Try Celebrity Blue, Denim Blue, or Broadway Blue.Green teams: Go with Calibar Green for a classic look or Limelight for something brighter.Gold, yellow, or orange teams: Mellow Yellow brings championship energy. Woodstock Orange brings the volume.Red or burgundy teams: New York Rose delivers a deep, city-born crimson.Purple teams: Purple Nurple. Yes, that’s the name. Yes, it works.Black frames, bold lenses: A Black LEMTOSH with Mellow Yellow, Celebrity Blue, or New York Rose? Game on. Custom Made Tints™ can also be made with prescription lenses, including single vision and progressive options. Because seeing clearly and showing your colors should never be mutually exclusive. Step 3: Think Beyond Game Day A custom MOSCOT pair doesn’t clock out when the final whistle blows. For Sports Teams and Athletics Programs: Customized frames are standout gear for coaches, staff, athletes, and supporters. Coordinate lenses with team colors for a polished look that goes well beyond standard merch.For Events and Tournaments: Hosting a marathon, charity run, championship, or tournament? Custom frames make memorable event gifts – crafted to last long after the banners come down.For Watch Parties and Game Days: A jersey is expected. A custom-tinted MOSCOT frame says you came prepared. Pair your team colors with an iconic frame and you’ve got fan gear with actual staying power.For Fan Sections and Supporter Groups: Matching tints across a whole crew? That’s a visual statement. From booster clubs to die-hard supporters, custom frames bring color to the stands in a way that feels personal, polished, and impossible to miss.For Athletes: Off the field, court, ice, or track, custom-tinted frames offer a subtle nod to team pride while still working as everyday eyewear. Step 4: Rep Your Nation National pride deserves a frame, too. A few ways to translate country colors into MOSCOT tints –  USA: Celebrity Blue or Broadway Blue with a Black or Blonde frame.Brazil: Mellow Yellow, Calibar Green, or Limelight. Bright, bold, unmistakable.Argentina: Celebrity Blue or Bel Air Blue with a lighter frame for that sky-blue effect.France: Broadway Blue or Celebrity Blue for Les Bleus. New York Rose for a tricolore accent.Germany: Mellow Yellow for gold, New York Rose for red, and a Black frame to bring it all home.Italy: Celebrity Blue for Azzurri energy. Calibar Green and New York Rose for the tricolore.Netherlands: Woodstock Orange. No further questions.England: New York Rose on a Crystal, Blonde, or Black frame.Japan: Celebrity Blue or Denim Blue for Samurai Blue. New York Rose for a nod to the rising sun.Mexico: Calibar Green, Limelight, and New York Rose on a Crystal or Blonde frame.Australia: Mellow Yellow and Calibar Green for that gold-and-green national-team look.Portugal: New York Rose and Calibar Green. Ronaldo would understand. Don’t see your country here? With 20+ Custom Made Tints™, the match is probably closer than you think.

Custom Made Tints™ can be made with single vision or progressive lenses. During checkout, you can enter your prescription, upload it later, or have MOSCOT contact your doctor.Think about where you’ll wear them. Grey and green tints offer more neutral color perception. Amber and yellow tints enhance contrast. Bolder colors bring the fan energy.Consider Clip-Ons. Going from indoor pregame to outdoor seats? MOSCOT Clip-Ons make it easy to move between clear and sun lenses without changing frames.Ask for help. Call, chat, email, or visit a MOSCOT Shop. Team-color consultations are very much in our wheelhouse. FAQs Can I customize MOSCOT frames to match my sports team’s colors? Yes.

For large-quantity, team, wholesale, or event requests, reach out to MOSCOT directly. Our team can help guide you through options, timing, and availability. Are MOSCOT frames sports sunglasses? MOSCOT frames are heritage eyewear designed for everyday optical and sun wear—not high-impact or extreme sports.

With a silhouette that’s sharp, stylish, and anything but bothersome, The UTZ proves that even a tease can be timeless. Consider this your not-so-gentle nudge into standout style. THE ZISSEL Sometimes it’s the sweetest of styles that pack the most punch! The ZISSEL, with its raw cuts, sharp silhouette, and bold personality proves that point. A little loud and impossible to ignore – this frame doesn’t ask for attention, it commands it. So go ahead, underestimate it… we dare ya!

THE BEST DESIGNER GLASSES FOR WIDE FACES

Moscot Moments

THE BEST DESIGNER GLASSES FOR WIDE FACES

on Dec 23 2025
A great pair of glasses should fit your face – not ask your face to fit the frame. If you've got a wider face, you've probably experienced the usual frustrations: temples that pinch, frames that feel too narrow, or glasses that sit awkwardly because they simply weren't designed with your proportions in mind. The good news? Finding the best glasses for a wide face isn't about making your features appear smaller. It's about choosing frames with the right scale, structure, and fit. That's been the MOSCOT philosophy since 1915. For over five generations, we've been fitting New Yorkers from our home on Orchard Street, helping people find eyewear that looks as good as it feels. Because when a frame is properly proportioned, you stop thinking about it – and start wearing it with confidence. Whether you're searching for the best glasses for wide face shapes, the best glasses shape for wide face proportions, or simply a frame that finally feels right, here's what to look for. What Defines a Wide Face? A wide face is typically characterized by broader cheekbones, temples, or a stronger jawline, where the width of the face is equal to – or greater than – its length. Wide faces come in every shape:Wide round facesWide square facesWide oval facesWide heart-shaped faces Each has its own personality, but they all benefit from one thing: frames with proportions that complement rather than compete. The goal isn't to make your face appear narrower. It's to create balance. What Makes the Best Glasses Shape for Wide Faces? When choosing the best glasses shape for wide face proportions, our opticians look at three things: width, structure, and scale. Choose frames with enough widthPerhaps the biggest mistake people make is sizing down.A frame that's too narrow doesn't slim the face – it emphasizes its width while creating pressure at the temples. Instead, look for frames that closely match the widest part of your face.Many MOSCOT styles are available in multiple sizes, including Wide and Extra Wide, making it easier to find a tailored fit. Add structureAngular shapes often create beautiful balance on wider faces.Square, rectangular, and softly geometric silhouettes introduce definition while complementing fuller facial features.That doesn't mean round frames are off the table – far from it. They simply need enough presence to hold their own. Think proportion, not trendsOversized can work beautifully on a wide face.Undersized rarely does.A frame should feel intentional, not like it's borrowing space from your features. The Best MOSCOT Frames for Wide Faces Finding the best glasses frame for wide face shapes starts with choosing frames that offer generous proportions without sacrificing timeless design. The LEMTOSHIf there's one frame that defines MOSCOT, it's The LEMTOSH.Its iconic silhouette, substantial Italian acetate construction, and signature keyhole bridge create a balanced look on broader faces. Available in four sizes, The LEMTOSH proves that one icon can fit many faces.Its rounded profile softens strong features while maintaining enough visual weight to feel proportional.That's why it continues to be one of the best glasses for a wide face – generation after generation. The NEBBBold. Architectural. Unmistakably New York.The NEBB features a strong rectangular silhouette crafted from thick block acetate, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking definition.Its generous proportions make it one of the best glasses frame for wide face shapes, particularly if you prefer modern, statement-making eyewear. The MESHUGNot every wide face needs sharp corners.The MESHUG strikes a balance between square and round, offering softened edges with enough structure to create definition.It's a versatile everyday frame that feels substantial without overwhelming your features. The ZAYDEClassic square styling never goes out of fashion.The ZAYDE's clean geometry, bold bridge, and timeless proportions make it an easy recommendation for broader faces looking for something refined yet distinctive. The KEPPESome frames whisper. The KEPPE doesn't.Originally inspired by vintage storefront displays, its exaggerated paddle temples and confident silhouette feel naturally balanced on wider faces.It's bold without feeling oversized. The YONAInspired by classic movie-house eyewear from the 1950s, The YONA delivers generous proportions with unmistakable character.Its broad square silhouette makes it an excellent option for customers looking for the best glasses for wide face proportions without sacrificing vintage charm. The MILTZENRound doesn't automatically mean too small. Scale matters.The MILTZEN's full-vue design, available in multiple sizes, offers enough presence to complement broader facial features while softening stronger jawlines.Originally introduced in the 1930s, it remains one of MOSCOT's most enduring classics. Best Glasses for Wide Round Faces If your face is both broad and round, your ideal frame introduces contrast. The best glasses for wide round face shapes often feature:Rectangular silhouettesSquare framesDefined brow linesGeometric details These elements help create visual structure while balancing softer facial contours. Our favorites include:The NEBBThe ZAYDEThe YONA If you prefer a rounder silhouette, simply choose a larger size of The LEMTOSH or The MILTZZEN. Their generous proportions prevent them from disappearing into fuller facial features. Size Matters More Than Shape Here's something we've learned after more than a century of fitting eyewear:Even the perfect frame shape won't work if the size is wrong. When shopping for the best glasses for wide face, pay attention to: Frame widthThe frame should align closely with the widest part of your face – not squeeze inward or extend dramatically beyond it. Bridge fitA comfortable bridge distributes weight evenly while preventing unnecessary pressure.Whether you prefer a keyhole bridge or a saddle bridge, proper fit makes all the difference. Temple lengthTemples should rest comfortably behind your ears without pulling or creating pressure along the sides of your head.A properly fitted frame feels secure without needing constant adjustment. Materials Matter Luxury isn't just about appearance. It's about how your glasses feel after eight hours of wear. MOSCOT frames are handcrafted using premium Italian acetate and thoughtfully engineered metals chosen for durability, comfort, and longevity. Our signature acetate offers:Rich, dimensional colorComfortable everyday wearExceptional durabilityProfessional adjustability It's the kind of craftsmanship that only gets better with time. Choosing Colors for Wider Faces Shape gets most of the attention, but color plays an important role too. Classic Black offers timeless confidence. Tortoise adds warmth and texture. Crystal acetates create a lighter, more contemporary look. If you're feeling adventurous, Custom Made Tints™ allow you to personalize your lenses with handcrafted colors produced in our New York lab. Because great eyewear should reflect your personality – not just your prescription. Common Mistakes to Avoid Finding the best glasses for a wide face is often about avoiding a few common pitfalls. Frames that are too narrowThey create pressure, feel uncomfortable, and visually exaggerate facial width. Tiny lensesSmall frames tend to look undersized rather than refined. Lightweight frames without enough presenceUltra-thin wire frames can sometimes disappear against broader features. Choosing trends over fitThe most fashionable frame is the one you'll actually want to wear every day. Fit always comes first. Why MOSCOT? Finding the best glasses frame for wide face shapes shouldn't require compromise. That's why many of our signature styles are offered in multiple sizes – from Narrow to Extra Wide – while maintaining the same proportions, craftsmanship, and unmistakable character. Every frame is backed by:More than 110 years of optical expertiseFive generations of family craftsmanshipPremium Italian acetate and precision metal constructionComplimentary professional adjustments at MOSCOT ShopsLicensed opticians who understand that every face deserves a proper fit Because a wider face doesn't need fewer choices. It deserves better ones. The MOSCOT Difference The best glasses don't make you think about your face. They make you forget about your glasses. Whether you're looking for the best glasses for wide face, the best glasses for a wide face, the best glasses for wide round face, or simply the best glasses shape for wide face proportions, the answer is the same: choose a frame that's designed to work with your features – not against them. From the timeless LEMTOSH to the bold NEBB, the vintage-inspired MILTZEN to the confident YONA, MOSCOT offers frames that feel balanced, comfortable, and built to last. We've been fitting frames to faces since 1915. And after more than a century, we still believe the best fit is the one that feels like it was made just for you.

MARTY SUPREME AND THE RETURN TO 94 RIVINGTON STREET: MOSCOT ON THE BIG SCREEN

on Dec 22 2025
It’s not every day that your corner of New York history gets the silver screen treatment – but Marty Supreme is no ordinary film. Set in the 1950s, Marty Supreme – directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow – takes audiences back to a bygone New York, where pushcarts and delis, crowded sidewalks and storefronts buzzed with character. For MOSCOT, a five-generation family business born and bred on the Lower East Side, it’s a powerful tribute to the era – and the neighborhood – where it all began. MOSCOT. 94 Rivington Street. Center Stage. More than just a backdrop, MOSCOT – or more specifically, MOSCOT’s legendary optical shop at 94 Rivington Street – plays a visible role in Marty Supreme. In scenes grounded in the grit and charm of downtown Manhattan, you’ll catch glimpses of our early storefront – a modest but mighty symbol of the American Dream, one lens at a time. Hyman opened up shop on Rivington in 1915 after years of selling ready-made glasses from a pushcart on Orchard. By the 1950s, MOSCOT had become a fixture in the neighborhood – known for quality eyewear, straight talk, and a front window that always drew a crowd. That same spirit lives on in Marty Supreme, where the Shop stands as a touchstone of community and craft. Why the Lower East Side Still Matters Beyond the nostalgia, what makes Marty Supreme so exciting for us is its love letter to a neighborhood we’ve never left. The Lower East Side is more than a setting – it’s our soul. It's where Hyman Moscot began in 1899 with nothing but a pushcart and a pair of steady hands. It’s where he made the business official. And it’s where we’ve stayed – still family-owned, still independent, still designing from downtown. As Marty Supreme prepares for its big premiere, we’re reminded that some things never go out of style: a strong sense of place, a commitment to craft, and a good pair of glasses. Planning to Watch? Here's How to Get the Look Inspired by the style of Marty Supreme? You’re not alone. Here are a few MOSCOT frames to channel your inner Marty: The MILTZEN – Originally introduced in the 1930s and still a bestseller today, this rounded frame speaks to the era’s intellectual energy. The LEMTOSH – A post-war classic with a strong browline and timeless appeal, worn by artists, actors, and legends alike. The KUGEL – A pared-down P3 shape made from lightweight metal and acetate, perfect for recreating that 1940s look with Lower East Side authenticity. The MOYEL – A frame full of grit, charm, and personality – just like Marty himself. The SIMCHA – A frame that doesn’t hide your face, perfect for someone with heart – and a little chutzpah. The SMENDRIK – Don’t let the name fool ya! This vintage-inspired metal frame is as sharp as they come. Final Cut: From Orchard Street to Opening Night At MOSCOT, we’ve seen a lot of stories unfold from behind the counter – but seeing our little corner of history on the big screen is something special. As Marty Supreme invites a new generation to experience the sights, sounds, and spirit of 1950s Lower East Side life, we’re honored to be part of the narrative. So whether you’re watching for the plot, the style, or the setting – keep your eyes peeled. You just might spot a familiar facade... and the beginning of something eye‑conic.

American actor Alessandro Nivola, appearing in acclaimed films including Jurassic Park III, American Hustle, Selma, Disobedience, and The Many Saints of Newark, wore The MILTZEN in Tortoise in FX's "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette" - as Calvin Klein, he knows a thing or two about style! The round, full-vue MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s, is eponymously named for our Uncle Heshy, who inexplicably everyone called Uncle Miltzen. And it stuck. So there you go, world...
