Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…
-
I think they look wider than my face on camera but they aren’t in the flesh. On paper I would have passed thinking they were too wide. Trying them on they worked and it was an easy choice.
Here is another picture not sure if it helps.
Damn those are perfect on you @mclaincausey. What color are the frames?

Thanks @Kirk and @popvulture ! this is the Argyle colorway which is tortoise with the gold innards of the earpieces covered by tortoise and not clear acetate

Love it and was hoping that was the color. So good. That’s what I ordered in the Dealan. I share your thoughts on the innards being covered vs exposed. Too flashy for me to pull off. That configuration steared my decision making on the color for each model.

Does anyone have firsthand experience with the ‘surplus’ color? That’s what I ordered in the Fellini. In some pictures the color is more muted and almost looks black(?). The model pictures on the JMM site are more of a olive/fatigue green color. Fingers crossed the appearance looks more like this…

I share this sentiment. Works for some peeps but I don't think I could swing it.
Psyched to hear what you think about the Surplus. I bet it'll be pretty light-dependent, some nice fatigue pop in the sun. I also think the gold accents work particularly well with that color.

Wow–I love that color in both shots, and I suspect it may appear as each (greener or blacker) according to lighting. I saw that with the Walnut colorway, brown to black.
In the Dean Delray podcast interview (excellent insight into Jerome whose only blemish is that the host interrupts excessively for my liking), he talks about color, and I think his eye for color and the quality of the acetate make for some really crazy possibilities. He mentions green specifically, and how green frames usually don't sell. But his do because of how good his eye is and the materials are.
+1 to @popvulture 's statements
-
Oh yep indeed, I remember Dean talking about that. I really wouldn't mind a pair of the Walkers in Rover. Maybe I'll hold out for that.
-
Agreed across the board @sabergirl
When I was scouting for some clear acetate optical frames, I was surprised to try on a pair (Morris I think) in kind of a matte clear gray acetate up front with titanium earpieces that I really liked a lot versus the chunky acetates that are so distinctive and first grabbed my attention.

New sunnies arrived today. Love ‘em. Grabbed a picture of the Dealan in argyle. I was worried about being able to pull off the look of the subtle cat eye but I think it works. I’ll get one up of the Fellini too. Not sure who made the comparison of JMM acetate frames to IH xhs denim but the analogy is spot on. Once you’re wearing ‘em it’s hard to go back to what you were before.. The craftsmanship. The quality. The fit.
bonus shot of my 276
(Ohhh the irony. How ridiculous of me to snap a selfie whilst driving AND have my safety belt buckled. Oh well it’s the best I could come up with. I promise no pedestrians were harmed :D)
-
Fantastic choice @Kirk they look great on you.
I had the same concern about Dealan’s cat eye shape. I think it looks more extreme in pictures I’d seen than they did on my face. They were in contention but there wasn’t an ideal colorway in stock and Walker won the day over Kaine in the finals.
-
I’ll second that [mention]Kirk [/mention] Nice choice!

Thanks, all! Appreciate the feedback. Grateful for the forum and everyone who contributed to this thread, without I probably don’t discover this incredible eyewear brand.
The surplus color is growing on me. The Fellini frames and color provide a nice compliment to the Dealan’s, which help me justify owning the two pairs.
The inside of the frames are spectacular. The gold hardware looks great against the olive color and the hairline engraved wire core design is an incredible detail.

ordered those yesterday, Walker argyle. I hope they fit and look good on me …bit nervous ::)
