Both Jules and I love JMM's styling, engineering and heft with Jules owning three pairs and me owning two.

Nice collection!
What's the color on the Molinos? Haven't seen that one.Hi @Paul9221 buddy, these Molino's are part of JMM's Circa collection and their colour is listed as Brown however, to me the frames are an opaque goldy yellow colour.

Anyone have the Zephirin clip on in gold with blue lenses (JMMZPC-5) that they are looking to unload or know of a place that carries it?
-
Thanks, @Kasi . Doesn't look like they have them on their site. I sent them an email to see if perhaps they are in stock but not on their site.

Walk in sales what they prefer

Yeah, unfortunately, I live in the US so visiting the shop isn't possible. I appreciate the replies!

Thanks again, @Kasi

What's up, B!
That's a very cool color. Sort of looks like ocre but with lighter lenses.

Zephirin 47 landed at Queen City Optical and should have the prescription filled in a couple of weeks. I picked up some silver G15 clip on shades from JMM months ago when I ordered these from a trunk show.
While I was there…
Mad scientist vibes
Genuinely love the aviators

Got em back with a perfect multifocal prescription. So far I’m feeling the contacts can be relegated to sports activities and the like. Favorite eyeglasses of ever and I can’t say enough positive things about Queen City Optical Provisions. Including that my optometrist was wearing Iron Heart jeans during my exam.

@mclaincausey They really look great on you and I especially like the metal frames and are wondering how they compare to your other frames. Same quality, fit, and finish?
-
Thanks!
Their metal frames are a sight to behold in the flesh. Those aviators in the bright gold are very tempting, but I’m so happy with my Walkers and love that they feel less vulnerable to the violence that befalls my possessions from time to time. I tried on the smaller metal frames for the heck of it. I don’t think they work for me, but they are gorgeous and the fact that they rest on the bridge instead of the sides of the nose is appealing to me since I have a crooked schnoz that is prone to hotspots of glasses aren’t perfect. The Walker’s thickness and shape is perfect in that regard.
The prescription are acetate but the clip-ons are titanium with mineral glass lenses. They are milled out of I think 10mm blocks but Zephirin 47 is definitely less chunky than some of the other frames, yet still beautifully sculpted and astonishing to hold and handle. So far, these seem to be doing fine on my nose, but if that changes I will have them adjusted.

Like @mclaincausey, I got to try on the Jacques Marie Mage Burn a few weeks ago. This pair had the lenses popped out, and I quite liked them.
I was more interested in the ICU. I'd been considering the Ringo 2, but these are a tempting alternative.
Sorry about the poor images. I dropped my phone in SF a couple of months ago and cracked the glass over the selfie camera.
-
I like them both on you, especially the round ones @Graeme

@mclaincausey Thank you very much for your thoughts. One of the main reasons I like the JMM’s is that they fit so well and I don’t have hotspots when wearing them for extended periods. I worry about the metal frames and how they sit but your write up has put my mind at ease.
@Graeme Thank you for the pictures! Do you feel the same about the JMM metal frames regarding fit and finish?
I’m on JMM’s emailing list and receive multiple emails per week with release information. There have been quite a few metal frame releases that have intrigued me, but I was hesitant because of my worries. Truly appreciate your thoughts and pictures.
Thank you gentlemen!
