    Those both look great @henry_david !  You're blessed with a great noggin' shape that would accomodate most glasses 😃

    If I had to choose, I think the JMMs suit you better because they flare out less, but they both look fantastic (I'm also biased because I just discovered JMM and am head over heels for them)

    Blanket-line all the things!!!

      Looking good @henry_david !  New frame shape looks great on your face, I think the downturn above the ear piece sells it for me, though I will say, I'm a sucker for tortoise  😃

        Love how chunky the acetate frames are on JMMs and their hardware/rivets are on point. Good choice @henry_david They are definitely on my radar whenever I need more glasses.

        I am STILL waiting on some prescription Moscots (Lemtosh) with clip-on shades I ordered weeks ago. I got their Classic Havana which is their version of the material in your previous shades. My nearsightedness and now presbyopia led to progressive bifocals, perhaps that is causing this extended wait time.

        Think it, be it.

          Thanks much, @mclaincausey  🙂

          Moscot supply chain all backed up to due the pandemic bs? Or some other sorta red tape?

            @henry_david I don't have any on my radar at the moment as I just picked up the Yves a couple of months back:

            https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=383.msg700628#msg700628

            Hey, you're in southern California, aren't you?  Did you pick these up locally?  I'm in Orange County but ordered mine from a place in FL.  Would love to have a local spot where I could check them out in person.

              Holy wow, @Paul9221!!! The Yves are gorgeous and I really like how HUGE they are while still really fitting your face well.

              Whereabouts in Orange County? I was born and raised down there, living most of my time in Huntington Beach. I'm now in San Francisco however so I don't have any local recs for you. I also snagged these on eBay to get the color I wanted. Or I should say that my wife financed these for me for our two year anniversary (which is today) and I then picked them out.

              Are there any boutiques/retailers in Los Angeles? We had a trip planned this month that got bumped, but plan to be in the Los Angeles area this fall/winter at some point and I wanted to see some JMM in person and try them on (and maybe even get another pair).

                @henry_david Thanks man, I really dig 'em!  Such great quality, and I'm a big fan of that black/brown color scheme.

                Congrats on the anniversary!  You obviously picked a winner, as evidenced by her anniversary gift to you 😃

                Ha, I'm real close to Huntington Beach!  I'm in west Garden Grove.  Like a mile from Seal Beach & Los Alamitos.  Are you living in SF city proper??  My brother's up in that area (Redwood City).

                As for the LA sunglass retailers, I really don't know.  But for clothing, I know of the Self Edge and Mister Freedom stores.  I love that Self Edge store!

                  Figured I'd post pics of my JMM glasses in here in case anyone wants more references to how they fit. They're definitely the nicest glasses I've ever handled. The 10mm acetate is like the XHS of glasses. I had to have both of my pairs adjusted to fit my head but that wasn't much of an issue. If you have a wide head you may need to have them open up the arms a bit to stop them from squeezing your skull above and behind the ears.

                    If I saw you on the street, @Palmer , I would totally assume you were some alt. rock star 😃  Both good looks!

                    You know, your timing is funny.  I love my JMMs but, when I wear them for around 2 hours, I start getting some pain on my head right above/behind my ears.  Can I just take them to any glasses shop to have them loosened?  Sunglass Hut?  Lens Crafters?  I mail-ordered them so I can't take them there.

                      @Paul9221 Framed Ewe carries JMM in LA. They have stores in Los Feliz and Sunset.

                      I really wanted to get a pair of frames they had in a rare colourway, but the style didn't fit me. 😞

                          Thanks @Paul9221 and @dinobarnesberlin , I'm too sweaty and full of Mexican food to be a rockstar though.

                          Paul, I just had my frames adjusted at the local shop that made my rx lenses. They just heated them up and bent them. Took about 5 minutes.  If I were you I would go to a shop that stocks JMM since there's multiple retailers where you're at and have them adjust your pair.

                            Thanks, @Graeme , @Palmer !

                            I actually fired off an email to the shop that I purchased them from in Miami and they also recommended a few locations near me.  I guess so long as they carry the brand, they know how to do the work.

                              Just picked up a pair of Hemmings in Shade and Enzo in Argyle.  I'm super impressed with both, just need to get them Rx'd now.

                                  Damn those are sick af, @Clint_D Would you mind snapping a profile of them? It's sorta hard to find good shots of these things online.

                                    My pics don't do them justice at all, here's some quality pics from where I picked up the Enzo's from:

                                    They've got really great pics of most of the models in quite a few different colorways.

                                    I picked up the Hemmings from Dan Deutch Optical:

                                      I also got my JMM from twelve sixty nine.  Really happy with them, from the selection, to the model pics, to the customer service.
