The Russo brothers' 2022 Netflix action thriller The Gray Man gave Chris Evans a chance to shed his Captain America persona and lean into something altogether sharper. As Lloyd Hansen, a sociopathic mercenary with a theatrical moustache and an appetite for chaos, Evans commanded every scene he entered — and his eyewear choice matched the character's swagger.
Hansen wore the Persol PO2471S across several sequences, a bold squared acetate frame from the Turin house that has been crafting eyewear since 1917. The PO2471S features hand-polished acetate, the brand's signature Meflecto temple system for flexibility, and the iconic Supreme Arrow hinge — details that convey craftsmanship without excess. The dark, glossy front and generous proportions give the frame an imposing physical presence that suited Hansen's relentless confidence. It is a frame built for someone who wants to be seen, and on Evans, the PO2471S delivered exactly that.
The Persol PO2471S is a contemporary square-frame sunglasses model crafted from high-quality acetate, defined by clean lines and a slightly softened silhouette. Signature details such as the Persol arrow and refined keyhole bridge add subtle character. Typically fitted with crystal lenses, including polarized options, it provides clear and comfortable vision. The integrated Meflecto temple system enhances flexibility, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear.
