Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

[popvulture]

Interesting @JDelage … were any of the glasses produced by an American company like JMM? I've wondered if there was any downside to ordering a pair of JMMs from, say, End Clothing or somewhere else that had a particular pair I wanted in stock. So basically... if a pair is produced by a US company, shipped to a European retailer, then purchased by an American buyer, I wonder if it has to then pass the drop test

Oy.

I have order 2 pair’s  from End clothing..

Very good customer service

Am in the U.K. make it’s easier for me

Made in Japan

[JDelage]

They don't care where the pair was produced. Any pair getting into the US needs a certificate. Now, to be fair, they don't care who gets them the certificate, and JMM cust service will provide you with one should you need it.

[popvulture]

I see. Bizarre. So, what — the glasses are held in customs until you can provide a certificate?

[JDelage]

Yep. Depending on cases I have either sought and obtained a certificate (from JMM) or wrote one myself (they just need a "certificate" to release the watch. They don't care if you fill the form yourself.) For RX frames, I have requested the seller send the frames without the placeholder lenses, and mark the package as "glass frames with no lenses". That has worked too.

Ok guys, got a message from JMM HQ Los Angeles regarding shipping.
They ship with UPS
Thank God it’s not USPS, otherwise I might ended as a Christmas present

[popvulture]

Oh yeah JMM would never ship internationally with USPS. I don't really know many companies that would do that, period, especially not a high end one like JMM.

Also, a decision I came to today: think I'm gonna sell my Dealn 53 Noirs. I'll do the whole Buy/Sell thread post but just thought I'd throw it out here first in case it piques anyone's interest. Holler if so.

So I had no idea JMM was a "thing" until I came across this thread today. Anyway, I was at Atelier Mira in Brooklyn over the weekend to pick out some new frames from the upcoming collection. These are pre-order to be delivered in July. Went with the Lacy (really liked the ecru (left), but went with ink (right) as a more practical choice):

For reference, my current pair is the Lee in black/clear (002/150):

@jskidder those look great! I'm going to have to think about getting those. The arrowheads on the side don't look like the traditional JMM ones. Are they different?

They're double-pointed.

Wrong!  I don't need another pair of readers.  But I do need a pair of cooler than cool varifocals…
