Jaguar Eyewear: where does the brand come from?
The name Jaguar stands first of all for the British car manufacturer. Jaguar Eyewear is the eyewear line under that name and a licensed brand: a licensing partner may use the name and the big-cat emblem for glasses and sunglasses, develops the frames and brings them to market. So the cars and the glasses do not come from the same company.
“Jaguar goggles” usually means safety or ski goggles. Under the name Jaguar Eyewear you will find prescription frames and sunglasses.
Design and materials: what do Jaguar glasses stand for?
Jaguar glasses are meant to carry the mix of sportiness and elegance that the name stands for. According to the brand, the designers transfer the cars’ interiors, colour schemes and technical equipment to the frames. Retro looks and modern shapes both speak the British design language. What you can look at:
- Shape: The range runs from understated and classic to bold. The product photos show right away how striking a frame looks.
- Material: According to the manufacturer, some frames are made from polyetherimide (PEI), an engineered plastic that is said to be lighter than conventional acetate while staying dimensionally stable. The product page tells you which material a frame is made of.
- Trademark: The emblem of Jaguar Eyewear is the big cat. On some models it sits at the end of the temple.
- Fit: The product page lists lens width, bridge width and temple length. Compare the measurements with a pair that fits you well.
Jaguar sunglasses follow the same line. With polarised models, the lenses reduce glare from reflections, for example on a wet road. As with any sunglasses, look for UV400 protection and the CE mark.

Jaguar glasses for men and women
If you are looking for Jaguar glasses for men or for women, go by measurements and shape rather than a label. What matters is that the frame suits your face. What Glasses Suit My Face? Frames for Every Face Shape explains which shape works for whom.

Who is behind Jaguar Eyewear, and who makes the glasses?
The name comes from the British car marque. Jaguar Eyewear is a licensed brand: a licensing partner develops and makes the glasses, not the car manufacturer itself.
Can I get Jaguar glasses with prescription lenses?
Yes. The Jaguar frames in the shop are prescription frames for lenses in your own prescription. Which prescription you need is something an eye test at an optician or eye doctor will tell you.
How good are Jaguar glasses?
There is no blanket answer, because the brand covers many different models. What matters is the fit and workmanship of the individual frame. Check the measurements on the product page and look at the material and weight.
Is there an official Jaguar Eyewear website?
Edel-Optics is an online optician, not the brand’s official website. Here you get an overview of the brand and the current Jaguar models in the shop.
