The McNaughton is defined by its strong, slightly oversized rectangular profile. In the Herringbone colorway, the frame features a unique, fabric-inspired pattern encapsulated within the acetate, creating a visual depth that mimics the look of high-end tailoring.

Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details

• Fused Acetate Construction: This frame is created by bonding two separate acetate forms—a textured inner "soul" and a sharp, architectural outer "shell." This lamination process creates the illusion of one frame floating inside another without any visible seams.

• Herringbone Texture: The Herringbone finish utilizes a specialized acetate that contains a detailed chevron pattern. When paired with the clear or translucent outer frame, it creates a "holographic" effect where the pattern appears to shift as you move.

• Hand-Sculpted in Japan: Like all Kuwahara pieces, the McNaughton is hand-finished in Japan. Artisans use meticulous hand-polishing to achieve a mirror-like shine on the outer facets while keeping the internal texture crisp and clear.

• Custom Metal Core Wires: The temples feature laser-etched core wires that provide structural strength and an extra layer of industrial detail visible through the translucent temples.

Fit & Engineering

• Architectural Rectangular Profile: The McNaughton provides a bold, masculine silhouette that is particularly effective for round and oval face shapes. The sharp outer angles add instant structure and definition to the face.

• Balanced "Frame-within-a-Frame" Weight: Despite its layered appearance, the frame is engineered to be lightweight. The 145mm temple length and ergonomically curved tips ensure the frame stays comfortably in place.

• Bespoke Multi-Barrel Hinges: Features custom-engineered hinges that are recessed directly into the acetate. This flush-mounting ensures a clean, streamlined look while providing the durability needed for a luxury optical frame.

Expert Note

Expert Note: The McNaughton in Herringbone is the ultimate "power frame" for the creative professional. Its 52mm lens width makes it a solid Large fit, providing significant presence without overwhelming the wearer.
