Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…
-
Well that settles that - Fellini FTW! Appreciate all the feedback.
A few weeks ago, I didn't know I needed sunglasses. Thanks to this thread, now I'm rationalizing having multiple pairs. JMM are really impressive in person.
I didnt know I needed these either. There is a shop about 15 min away that carries them too [emoji41]

Funny story..
My boss who is about 15 years my senior, but very “hip,” pulled out some sunglasses in his car a few weeks ago and said “you think I can pull these off?”
Without hesitation, I said “are those Jacque’s??”
His reply was: “I don’t know what the fuck you said, but yeah, that’s what they are I think” lol [emoji23]
He was impressed I knew about them as he got them in Vail - I then proceeded to explain the forum to him and then tell a story of how I once again assisted Pierre in tricking the Norwegian duty officers into not taxing him hahaha
How everytime I have on something “different” he says - what brand is that? Learn about it in the forum?
Maybe I should get him some Iron Hearts lol [emoji23]
I would adore a pair, they are absolutely fantastic in person.

Y'all have gotten me eyeing (#puns) some JMM's for sunglasses. There is a local shop near me that carries a ton. Might pop in this week and try a bunch on and just see what happens.
I've got several pairs of Ray Bans, and a pair of Persol's and Warby Parker that I like, but could honestly just sell them all and have just one solid pair. I used to love my Wayfarers because they are a classic, and I had the pair for so long that it was mostly sentimental. My son broke that pair a couple months back, and I bought a new one of the exact model. Just doesn't feel the same or have the same connection.

I wish the 50mm Dealans were slightly less cat-eyed, because the notion of a pair of shades named for the Bard definitely resonates
I think I would opt for Fellini in Havana tortoise myself but I would want to try them on first.

Method behind the madness. My better half has a pair now… the Anita. Paves the way for future JMM purchases for me!

@Bums_Fan yep I played the same game with my better half, though she now knows how much they cost so it’s backfired somewhat

Those look very nice!

Those are sick! Shirt ain't bad either @sabergirl

I like them @sabergirl
So, I drove over to the JMM retailer in St Louis and tried a few on. The saleswoman told me Christmas cleaned them out but they had 3 pair come in today and now they have one less in stock. I ended up with the Julien in tortoiseshell and I’m really stoked about them.

damnit to hell you guys are killing me. killing me!
I need new suns anyway.Ann & Matt they look real good.
Awesome close up of you Ann, if I may be so bold. -
Nice pick and fit @Anesthetist !
It all started when @Giles posted the secret Christmas gift for @Madame Buttonfly … now look at what has happened
-
Well-played, @Anesthetist
Believe the JMM hype. They are clearly different in pictures and they more than stand up to it in the flesh. I was reading up on them (they have great intel on their site) and the acetate factory they use is the only one making acetate blocks that thick (presumably because they take weeks to cure at that thickness) which I think is why some of the designs are so novel. There are practical benefits to the thickness in terms of durability and you can refinish them endlessly. If you can manage not to lose your pair, it is an heirloom piece. I also think the designs, details, and build quality are unmatched.
I got Walker in tortoise. I wanted a tortoise colorway and the gold innards to be inside the tortoise (other models expose the gold innards of the earpieces through clear acetate, which looks awesome but is too blingy for me) and if felt and looked best of those options.

They look good on you MCL, and that hardware is stunning [emoji44]
