about oscar jacobson

Oscar Jacobson was founded in 1903 in the city of Borås, known for its long history of travelling salesmen and genuine textile knowledge. Today Oscar Jacobson stands for high quality men’s clothing and state of the art golf fashion. In an otherwise trend anxious society, Oscar Jacobson challenges the establishment with genuine tailor knowledge, self-distance and humour – attracting the modern man who is young enough to love fashion, mature enough to make his own decisions and brave enough to have a personal style.

MATERIAL INFORMATION

frames

Scandinavian eyewear uses primarily acetate and monel, which are easy materials to work with. If the material is not specified for a frame, it is made of acetate, monel, nickel silver, stainless steel or titanium.

earpieces / templetips

Scandinavian eyewear uses two types of earpieces / templetips – acetate and thermoplastic.

hinges

In most cases, we use traditional hinges from leading European supplier.

pads

Scandinavian eyewear uses two types of pads – pvc and silicon.

padarms

On titanium frames the padarms are in titanium, on metal frames the material is monel or nickel silver.

screws

On most of our frames there is one or more screws, to the hinge, decor or the glass. These screws are made in stainless steel with one exception, and that is on our titanium frames that have an acetate covering on the inside of the titanium temples. This acetate covering is fasten with titanium screws.

which materials are your frames made of?

Our glasses are made of a large number of materials. The most common materials used in making frames are acetate, monel, nickelsilver, stainless steel and titanium. If you are oversensitive to a particular metal, it is a good idea to find out which metals the frames are made of before deciding on your new glasses.

surface coating of metal frames

All Scandinavian eyewear metal frames have three-layer protection consisting of two electrolyte coatings and a layer of varnish. This makes our frames certified according to EU standards for nickel discharge.

monel

The most common metal used to manufacture eyeglass frames is monel, a nickel-copper alloy with very high tensile strength. This alloy is highly resistant to corrosion, salt water, various acids and alkaline solutions. The material has a glossy silver colour. Monel consists of: nickel 65%, copper 32.4%, iron 1.5%, manganese 1.0%, carbon 0.05%, sulphur 0.001%, silicon 0.02%, aluminium 0.01%, titanium 0.01%.

Soldering: silver solder is used according to traditional methods.

nickel silver

Nickel silver contains of 61% copper, 18% nickel and 21% zinc. Often being used on bridges.Soldering: silver solder is used according to traditional methods.

15

stainless steel

Is mainly contained of chrome. This gives strength, flexibility and durability. The material is extreme resistant against corrosion. Can be manufactured very thin and is therefore suitable for temples. May contain a small amount of nickel.

Soldering: silver solder is used according to traditional methods.

acetate

When people talk about “plastic frames”, they usually mean frames made of acetate. This is true of Scandinavian eyewear’s “plastic frames”, too. Acetate is not, as many believe, a plastic at all. It is a cellulose-acetate or acetate rayon produced by the acetylation of cellulose (cotton) with a solution of acetic anhydride and sulphuric acid.

Acetate frames are nickel-free, but the hinges being used on acetate frames may contain small amounts of nickel.

titanium

This material is being used in the eyeglass industry primarily as a result of the past and present debate on nickel allergies and the occurrence of nickel in certain other materials used to make eyeglass frames.

Titanium offers many advantages: low weight, high durability and a high tensile yield limit. As a result, it can be used to make frames that are very thin and yet stand up to the requirements of users. Titanium is as strong as steel, but 45% lighter.

Scandinavian eyewear uses two types of titanium to manufacture frames, Titanium-P and Titanium-B. Titanium-P is 99.0–99.7% pure, while titanium-b, which is found in our hinge and screws, is about 90% pure. Titanium-B is harder than titanium-p, and is thus employed where there is more wear and tear. Titanium frames are therefore the best alternative if you are sensitive for example nickel.

Sometimes titanium is being used together with acetate, (ex. Titanium front and acetate temple) in this case a small amount of nickel can exist in the hinges.

The alloy material is magnesium. Since both producing titanium and manufacturing the tools needed to work the material is difficult and expensive, titanium frames are more expensive than similar frames made from other materials. The material has a silver-grey colour.

Titanium-P consists of: titanium 99.0–99.7%, iron, carbon, magnesium less than 1%. Titanium-B consists of: titanium 90%, iron 1%, aluminium 3.5–4.5%, carbon 0.1%

Soldering: titanium can be soldered but requires use of titanium solder and very high heat.
