          Thanks gents re: my wife’s new shades. I wasn’t sure she dug em at first but she loves em, particularly the heft and solidity of them.

          To add to the confusion, @Giles , they do source Italian alteliers for the frames as well as the primary Japanese ones. At least, they have.

          I do love the cases but prefer the fancier magnetic clasp one that came with my wife’s. I’ve held off on oiling it but am keen to do so and see how the leather comes out.

          I think I may have a chance to meet the man if I’m understanding a forthcoming event in denver correctly. I’ll try to limit my fawning.

          Think it, be it.

              Yeah I love the magnetic case, mainly because of whatever aforementioned scent they spray in em. Nice touch.

              Love these things, though — I get happy every time I put em on.

                            @Kasi today I learned telling someone their JMMs aren't made in Japan is among the most hot button topics on the IH forum… definitely need to take more drugs next time I say it 😃

                            @Daniel San Thank you! They're Balzac — I decided to try a narrower pair after my Dealan 53s and feel like these work a little better on me. Might pick up a pair of regular Dealans down the line if they release a pair in a color I love. I really want the super classic black frame / green lens.

                                    Excerpt from the NY Times: "The company works with manufacturers in Italy and Japan, which use machines that date back to just after World War II. These machines require plenty of adjustments, and if that yields frames that are less precisely cut than mass-produced ones, that suits Mr. Mage just fine. “The imperfections reveal a human touch and gives our frame this warm and sensual finish,” he said."

                                    "I don't give a shit what anyone else is doing, we will do what is best for us and our customers" - Giles P. :)

                                      All current JMM are made in Japan but they’ve also used Italian ateliers. On the old web site you could search by country of origin and they had at least one line if not more lines that were made in Italy. Lines meaning several models per line or collection.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                          This is true. Although, most of the frames are produced in Japan. Off the top of my head, I know the Ray and Vandella models were made in Italy…
