Tapout Eyewear: materials, fit & buying guide
Materials & build: acetate vs. metal-and-plastic (plus spring hinges)
Tapout covers the essentials: durable plastics/acetate for a solid yet lightweight feel and hybrid metal-and-plastic builds for extra structure. For example, Tap849 pairs premium acetate with spring hinges in a round, full-rim profile; Tapmo112 combines metal & plastic, spring hinges, and a rectangular shape; Tap835 is a metal-and-plastic browline without spring hinges; and Tapmo102 delivers a rectangular half-rim with spring hinges for a lighter visual footprint. Check each product page for material, hinge type, and size before you add to cart.
Fit & sizes: read 50-19-140 in seconds
Every Tapout frame lists three numbers: Lens width – Bridge width – Temple length (in mm). Match these to a pair you already own to get a familiar fit, then fine-tune by shape. Typical Tapout sizes include 50-19-140 (Tap849), 52-17-140 (Tap835), and 54-19-140 (Tapmo112/Tapmo102). Want help choosing shapes for your face? Start with our quick face-shape guide.
Shapes & looks: rectangle, round, browline, half-rim
Go rectangular for crisp lines that play well at work, round for softer, easygoing style, or browline for a strong top line that frames the eyes. Prefer a lighter visual impression? Half-rim designs reduce rim visibility while keeping structure where it counts. Filter the Tapout collection by rim type or shape to zero in fast, then use the face-shape guide to confirm your pick.
