I listened to this podcast a while back, and Mage came across as a hugely passionate, detail-oriented guy. It really made me feel better about his products, despite the very high price point.
Listening to it rn and this guy def passes vibe check. Great dude.

Oh boy. I should start looking into a mortgage before Sept.
Buying a pair for the missus will smooth everything out, @Matt. Besides, you have an international trip coming up and so you gotta look sharp af.
Clearly you haven’t met the missus. If I spent $1300 on two pairs of sunglasses she would split and would take all her
moneylove and support with her. Not exaggerating. -

I am weighing some JMM opticals, so I (literally) weighed some Moscot Lemtoshes that unfortunately hurt my nose after a while. Those weigh 1.3 oz. I have some titanium frames that don't hurt, but I don't like how they stay in place (front-heavy on account of their light weight and my prescription). Those weigh 0.9 oz. My JMM Walkers? 2.3 oz and the most comfortable of any of them. I don't know how much more prescription (mine sucks) would weigh than the very thick sunglass lenses in them, but that is a point in favor of getting some optical Walkers.

I don’t really have an informed opinion as I’ve never worn prescription glasses, but I don’t find weight has much of a bearing on the comfort of sunglasses on my face. It’s all about the shape for me. I’ve had super light blue light glasses that gave me a headache after 15 minutes, but wore my molinos for like seven hours the other day and was fine.

I've never been able to do smaller glasses unfortunately.
Earpieces are a big factor and the Walkers sit in the perfect spot. I am not sure I'll be able to get another pair, but I know they fit and feel right.

Damn, I'm absolutely gonna have to check that out. I love Dean.
Also, I'm basically just bracing for when JMM has a black Dealan frame available with just the dots on the side (not the visible metal stem inside like the Eclipse) and a lens color I like. Heaven help me.

I have the 53s and they are one of my favorite frames. I'm waiting on my GTs and Jeffs to get lenses from 1269.

That’s the Lemtosh on me. Now that I have my Juliens I’ll be selling them.

The BALZAC (pre-order) are 1mm bigger than the Juliens in all dimensions. Not much bigger but a similar round style. Just FYI.

I actually tried to buy a pair of 53s from them yesterday and it turned out they didn't actually have the pair I wanted in stock. C'est la vie I guess?
Oh and edited to add: I compared measurements to some of my existing glasses, and I think the regular Dealans would be a little to narrow for my personal pref. I have a big head.

@popvulture Gotcha! Thought you were looking for the regular Dealans. I know about having a big head as well.
