    Help finding a frame

    I have a specific request for a frame for a thin-faced male MR patient. We are looking for a
    44-47 eye
    Semi-rimless
    Black/charcoal/dr grey color
    Wide temples, you know the "trendy" look. Metal or acetate is OK as long as it's at least semi-wide and nearly black.

    We are having a very hard time locating one that has a small enough eyesize. We have tried a You's 631 size 45 that works for size and style, but not color. We have looked at A&A (Jalepenos), REM (Converse), Ted Baker, OnO, NRG (silver dollar), Kenmark, Viva, L'Amy, and of course You's.

    I'll have to admit, we don't excell in these type kids frames because so many of the kids in our area are Medicaid. But we are having a hard time finding anything.

    Here is the Ted Baker that they like, but too big.

    I know Jalapenos have two semi rimless wide temple models. Not what you were looking for I guess?

    There is a Wrangler frame from Nouveau Eyewear. The Flagman comes in a 47, black, wide at the bridge, maybe this would work

    Thanks for the replies. If the Brupa doesn't work, we may look at Ogi. But we don't have an account with them.

    Thanks for the help everyone. He picked the Brupa. I really like the Menizzi, though.
