How to Read the Model, Color and Size

If you have ever looked on the inside of your frame, you will see that there are a bunch of number and letters all mixed together. Although they are all mix-matched, look carefully to decipher the "code".

You will find several important pieces of information
1. Brand: It will simply be the name outright, or a logo
2. Size: It will be a number (usually between 47-60) followed by a dash or box and then another number (between 13-22). The first number is the size of the lenses width and the second number is the bridge size
3. Color: It will either written as a code or the letter "c" followed by a number. Ex. "C.001" or "C.867" or sometimes it is a code like "1AB-0V0" (like Prada)
4. Model: It is usually a number OR letters followed by numbers. Ex. "1845" OR "LA304" (Lacoste)
5. Temple: It will be between 130 and 150. 140 is average.
6. Country of Origin: This one is sticky. It will sometimes say "Made in Italy" or "Frame Italy". Due to the technical aspects of this. It will be in another post of it's own.

Example:

Mont Blanc
Model: MB 80S
Color: J06
