Shape History
The MTO offers a classic, understated look for men and women: it is based on the P3, a round frame shape designed for U.S. soldiers during WWII and worn by 1950s Hollywood movie stars like Grace Kelly and James Dean.

Buying sunglasses online can feel risky.
But it doesn't have to be.
We want to help you make an informed decision, so here are 3 common reasons some customers (about 1 in 20) return their Rockets:
1. "The shape doesn't suit me."
For our first 6 years, we focused on only one shape: the MTO.
Named after our Mum, it's a classic, round frame based on the P3.
It suits most faces but not all.
So we designed the SPT — a rectangular frame based on the iconic wayfarer.
The SPT, we say with confidence, flatters all face shapes.

2. "It's too big (or small)."
Most customers like our Original (143 mm wide) frame size.
It offers a slightly oversized look for medium to medium-large heads.
If you need smaller frames, try Tailored (136 mm wide) or Small (132 mm wide).
Unsure about your size?
Use a ruler to measure the width of your current favourite glasses or sunglasses.
Pro tip: most customers like their sunglasses a little oversized.
3. "They sit on my cheeks."
If you have high cheekbones relative to your nose bridge, choose Raised "Asian" Fit.
It features 12-mm nose pads that position the frames higher on your face and away from your cheeks.
We review every order, and if we think there may be a better fit or size for you, we will check with you before shipping.
If you have any questions, please email us help@rocketeyewear.com.

Your Rockets should feel snug.
If they're too loose or too tight, you can adjust them by bending the temple arms, which are thin and malleable.
Don't worry — you're not going to break them.
If they're too loose
Bend the arms inward and tips downward so that they grip the back of your ears.
If they're too tight
Bend the arms outward and tips upward for more space between the frames and your face.
You can see a video on how to adjust your Rockets here.
