Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

I got the lenses in my frames and I love them. The nice thing about them is the frames are so thick that they can hold a thicker lens so I was able to get the old fashioned poly-carbonate for much better clarity.

Looking tremendous my friend @Filthy

Great decision @Paul9221 - JMM are the nuts

So I've been rockin' a pair of Maui Jims for about 10 years. I wanted to get something a little bit bigger, because I've got a sizeable forehead and a beard, so I wanted something that didn't accentuate my gargantuan noggin'.
I went with these JMM Yves. Such amazing build quality. The packaging. Everything. Just outstanding.
I think they're fantastic, but they're bigger than I'm used to so I just want to make sure they don't look like those oversized party glasses. Thoughts?
Two more, slightly more light:
Thanks!

They look great on you @Paul9221

Looks killer @Paul9221 !
I was eyeing a pair of Yves recently too. I’ve been sporting Torinos as prescription eyeglasses and a pair of Enzos as sunnies. The heft of JMM frames takes some getting used to and I had to have my pairs adjusted a couple times to get them to comfortably fit my big head.

Rock on, man! I was eyeing the Torinos, too! Now I gotta find some of your posts to see how they look on ya
The fit is extremely comfortable for me, but I've only had to wear them for an hour straight so far. I'm really happy with them and, while I hope I don't have to buy another pair for a while, I would absolutely get another pair of JMMs in the future.

@Paul9221 the Yves look good. They might appear a little bit big in the photos as the wide angle phone camera exaggerates the size. If you have any concerns, ask a friendly optician to look them over.
That said, they look to be an oversized design from the pictures on the JMM website.
I've got a pair of the JMM Amboise on their way to me at the moment. I'd been dithering about whether to get them or not, and they'd mostly sold out. Fortunately Net-A-Porter had them in stock, with a 10% discount for first time orders, and free returns. That'll do nicely…

@Paul9221 they look great. My everyday specs are JMM Dealan's and have been considering a set of sunglasses from them, completely agree on quality etc.

I'm totally sold on these, now. I was driving with them yesterday and it felt like I had such a larger field of view with these compared to my previous pair. I just needed some friendly confirmation that I didn't look like a fool
Those Amboise look great. Based on the pics you posted earlier, I imagine these will suit you. Quite frankly, I think you could get away with just about any shape/size frame.
Post some pics once they arrive!

I had not seen the Dealan, those look great!
It seems like some places let you sub out the lenses. This being my first purchase, I just took the stock (my reseller didn't offer replacement lenses). Since you're using these as corrective glasses (if I'm reading this right), did you just order the frames from a reseller of choice and take them into your optometrist to insert your corrective lenses?

@Paul9221 I got them from my optometrist in Manchester (Seen) and they did the lenses for me. They do them for sunnys too

@Paul9221 the frames look good on you, so don't worry about looking like a fool.
I'll post a picture of the Amboise when they arrive. I'm going to take them to my optician to get corrective lenses (probably clear) fitted. My main worry is that the right lens will be too thick, as I've got a -6 prescription in there! :o
@LewisStonehouse I've spoken with Seen a couple of times, nearly got a pair of frames posted down to Oz from them. They seem a good company.
