DM8L Cable Temples

The DM8L is a larger version of the DM8 frame.  It uses the exact same "panto" shape, the most popular shape of all time.  Round at the bottom and flat at the top, the DM8L shape is the best possible shape for progressive lenses, bifocals, and any single vision uses, including sunglasses.  This model has the same frame front as the DM8L, but with cable temples.  Cable temples have a devoted following, but are not for everyone.  The spring action of the temples is great for holding the frame on your face no matter what you are doing.  However, some people feel soreness behind their ears when they are worn for a long time.  Good quality cable temples are hard to find, but these have excellent reviews from our loyal customers after years of use.

We have this frame made in a family-owned eyewear factory nestled in the Dolomite Mountains of Italy, the birthplace of the world's eyewear industry.  

The frame is made with Alpaca, a special material used in eyewear for over a century.  Composed mostly of copper, but also some stiffening metal, the material holds its shape well but can also be adjusted for a perfect fit.   All frames are hand made with Italian hinges, hand-finished and assembled in Italy.

Almost identical to the Shuron Ronstrong frame which is one of the best-selling frames of all time, the DM8L Skull glasses are made in Italy to a much higher quality standard than the Ronstrong.

The overall frame width is 111mm for the size 40 frame, and 115mm for the size 42 frame, 122mm for the size 44 frame.
