Tom Ford at Voorthuis.
Confident silhouettes, signature T detail · Since 2005, Italian-made
Tom Ford eyewear is design under pressure. Heavier acetate, deliberate proportions, and the unmistakable T-bar at the temple combine into frames that hold the room without straining for it. As a licensed Tom Ford carrier, we carry both the optical line and a deep selection of the sunglass collection at our DC-area locations.
What you get with Tom Ford.
Italian craftsmanship
Made by Marcolin in Italy, with the build quality and acetate richness that distinction implies. Hinges and rivets are noticeably more substantial than chain alternatives.
The T-bar temple
The metal T at the temple is the signature. On some models it’s subtle inlay; on others it’s the focal point. Either way, recognizable from across a room.
Architectural shapes
Tom Ford frames trade in confident geometry: the bold rectangle, the assertive aviator, the deliberate cat-eye. Faces that suit them tend to look better in them than in anything else.
A sunglass-first sensibility
The sun line is the heart of the brand. Most frames are built with both optical and sun versions; the same design language carries across. A Tom Ford sunglass is rarely an afterthought.
Why we carry Tom Ford.
What stands out, what to expect, and how a Tom Ford frame ages over time.
Who Tom Ford is made for
Tom Ford is for people who like a frame that does some work. If you’ve been told ‘nothing looks bold on me,’ Tom Ford is usually where that quiet trial run ends. The bridge proportions are generous, the acetate is forgiving, and the design language reads instantly as premium.
Optical vs. sunglass
Almost every Tom Ford model exists in both clear and tinted. We typically build sunglass orders polarized. The cost difference is minor, the visual benefit is significant, especially for driving and DC summers.
A note on fit
Tom Ford frames run on the heavier side. A proper fitting matters more than usual, so bridge measurement, pantoscopic tilt, and pad adjustment all earn their keep. Our opticians measure by hand and verify at pickup.
Authorized dealer. Voorthuis is an authorized Tom Ford retailer. Every frame arrives from the brand's authorized channel with the original case and documentation. Stock rotates across our stores - tell us the model you want and we'll transfer it to your preferred neighborhood location for a consultation and fitting.
Pricing. Tom Ford optical frames typically range from $420 to $625; sunglasses run roughly the same. Prescription lenses are priced separately based on your prescription strength, lens design, and coatings. We provide a written estimate before you commit.
Lens turnaround.Single-vision lenses are typically 5 to 7 business days; progressives, 7 to 10. Adjustments stay free for as long as you wear the frame.
Tom Ford may be right for you if…
You want the frame to be part of how you read in a room, unmissable without being loud.
You appreciate substantial acetate and don’t mind a bit more weight on the bridge.
You want a sunglass and an optical that share a design language and sit equally well in your rotation.
How we fit you.
No upsell, no rush. Try them on, fitted in person.
- 01
Measurement first
Bridge width, pupillary distance (PD), and temple length at the bench. These numbers eliminate frames that won't sit correctly on your face.
- 02
Lifestyle and use
A few questions before we pull any frames: mostly screen work or outdoors? Single pair or adding a sun option? Drive at night? The answers shape lens selection before you've touched a frame.
- 03
Frame trial and comparison
We pull three to five candidates. You try them in sequence - we give honest opinions on what's working. The two or three that survive go side by side until one is clear.
- 04
Lens selection and precision adjustment
Lens material, AR coating, tints if relevant. The frame gets adjusted to your face before you leave - bridge, temples, nose pads. That last step is why glasses from us don't slide.
