Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

@Kasi
I stick to Taos , new colour volvox .
Maybe a Walker black fade 2 will follow, but only when I find them in Europe.
Stop buying from US , only when it’s absolutely necessary I will order there.

Picked up some Zephirin 47 clip-ons for my forthcoming prescription glasses. I'm not sure why, but they use G15 instead of CR39. I think I like it and it may be because of less proneness to scratching for more vulnerable eyewear. What I was less sold on was the green tint on the silver clip-ons (I think any other color would clash with the silver hardware in the Beige colorway), but I think it will work out fine. I'd considered customs, but I don't think they will be necessary.

They come in a little red silk box and include a smaller polishing cloth and natural leather sleeve.

I found a store in Zurich carrying the Zephirin. I hope I can try them on on Saturday.

G15 is a lens color (I think it's a shortcut for "green, filters 15% of the light). CR39 is a lens material, a form of plastic. So your G15 lenses might well be CR39.

Ah thanks for the knowledge.

Nope, they're mineral glass per the description on the site. They don't really recall Ray-Ban G15 at all for me, much lighter and greener. Take a look at the picture (it under-represents the difference but you can still see it):

I came to check if anyone had any frames in Volvox. @Daniel San looks like you do? Did you get those Taos yet? Curious to see how that color looks on a person — I'm not getting anything when I do a Google image search, and the model pics on the JMM site are just Photoshop composites.

It's an awesome color, just need some real-life examples!

Such a good look on you!

Which UHF are you rocking there?  Did you dye it?

Awesome looking UHF @endo and I am as curious as @Paul9221 .

@Paul9221:

Thank you. Have been lurking here for a while and couldn't resist anymore. These are amazing frames. So cool! Got them from Seen, UK.

It's the IHSH-311-GRN overdyed in olive. Was too rich in contrast for me. May be a sacrilege but I like it now.

So I just tried a Zephirin. Beautiful glasses but they were quite narrow for my head. Pictures weren’t allowed so I can’t show you.

I thought I read somewhere that they are as well available with a wider frame. Unfortunately the retailer I went only had this Zephirin model.
