Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…
-
@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!

@goosehd the JMM metal frames are lovely. I think that the beauty tends to be in the detailing, as they often have neat touches such as the shape of the hinges. They also tend to have quite deep rims which helps if you have an awkward prescription like me. Take a look at the macro shots of the ICU on their website as an example.
If you want a comparison, look at the Ahlem Place Coluche, which is almost identical to the ICU. The details aren't quite as good, though they're another pair that I'm considering.
@mclaincausey thanks, I'm probably going to get that round pair over the Ringo 2. I'm looking at grabbing another so I have a spare.
You might also be amused that you can see my Defy Verbockel in the mirror in the lower left corner of this photo.

Nice @Graeme I am using mine on this trip as I do all of them. It’s a fantastic bag. The only thing I’d probably change would be side laptop sleeve access but that would compromise the waterproofness so easy to live with.

@mclaincausey mine is the older, more basic model. I haven't used it too much in the last few years as it's quite big and heavy (I've got the waxed canvas version), but since my denim rucksack died and went to jeans heaven, it's come back into service.
I think if I was getting a new one, I'd go down a size. But I do like the bag, and it's perfect for a carry-on, at least when they don't weigh them!

A Blue Note collab??
Just love this Herbie Hancock model and colorway.

I had an expensive lunchtime. I'm working in Melbourne and my local JMM
dealerpusher sold me a pair of the silver ICUs…I was taken advantage of as well. I went to dinner with my brother as we walked by the optometrist I was I forced to buy these….

There should be laws against optometrists taking advantage of innocent passersby and forcing them to buy expensive frames!
That said, your new frames look good @Anesthetist.

I forced to buy these….
You def were… looking great with you @Anesthetist
-
@Anesthetist those look good on you! And purple UHF for the win

JMM Ascari Agar

I thought my Dita Insiders were chunky until I compared them to these;

Your JMMs look like they could eat those Ditas and still have room for a pair of Moscots [emoji23]

Does anyone know how JMM compares to Julius Tart?
I have a pair of Tart Harold (current not vintage) opticals that were my daily but annoyingly I sat on them and the hinge is not repairable.
I'm considering replacing them with JMM, given they're also Japan made I'm guessing the quality is as good if not better?
-
I don't know Tart, but JMM is beyond everything else I've seen @1981FXe and I'm confident you'd like them.
-
Right on thanks @mclaincausey I've certainly heard good things.
I've enquired about the Kellerman, looking at the measurements they're almost identical to the Harold which bodes well given I'd be ordering them from the US without trying.
-
@Kasi is your man for JMM's.
I think he has a good relationship with these guys if you're in the UK @1981FXe ?
