Stunning color!

@Autorotate I'm tempted to buy #5, assuming that's Walker in Beige, to have fitted with prescription lenses

[Autorotate]

@mclaincausey yep, that’s the walker in beige. It’s a beautiful frame.

Breakfast in Barcelona in my Fellini beige.
I’m just outside Optica Toscana. Great JMM selection.
I tried in the Herbie in Noir with an amber lens and a Molino 55 in Frost green. They both look great. I’ll post a pic if I grab a pair.

@Autorotate How do you like your stay in Barcelona so far? Make sure to update the BCN thread with any tips you have for future vacations there!

[Autorotate]

@tody I’m liking it! It was a journey to get here! Cleveland-NY-Paris-Valencia-BCN. Fantastic weather. I had tapas at La Plata in the Gothic Barrio last night. Tomato bread and oil, fried sardines and a sausage bocadillo. Was excellent. Standing room only and a great 9pm vibe on a Wednesday.
I will indeed update the Cities thread. Expect Valencia and Madrid to be updated as well.
Re: Optica Toscana. Huge selection. I’m not a connoisseur, and I wish I was, to discern the very rare models… I just gravitate to what I like wearing. Usually wayfarer-style shades.

@kkibbey23 damn the red looks so good!

[kkibbey23]

Thanks!! I’ll post some pictures up when I get my lenses back. They are going to be a “chrome” mirrored lens. So a silver ish mirrored lens. Should be pretty sweet

I’ve got a pair of dealan 53s they did with gold mirrored that I love

[sabergirl]

I don’t normally love mirrored lenses, but I think they’re a solid choice for a bold frame like this. Looking forward to seeing the result.

Also: I love my molinos so much, but it doesn’t stop me from lusting after more pairs. Dang

@kkibbey23 I love the colour of those frames

[Matt]

Forget about those glasses, let’s talk about your pomp.

[sabergirl]

Haha thanks, Matt! High praise coming from a barber.

[Matt]

Chef’s kiss.

Cool you made it. Haven't been there for some years, but I remember the food. Think it's basically all they have. I liked the atmosphere, having your beer and food among the potbellied habour workers. Hope, it hasn't turned all touristy. Enjoy your stay @Autorotate!

Molino 55 walnut

I've had a pair of taos in hickory in sunglasses with the dull blue green lenses that I rarely wore and was considering moving them on but popped the lenses out to see about turning them into optical glasses. Pretty sure I'm going to do this but any thoughts on a lens color if I go with transitions? Thinking sapphire or maybe amber.

[Autorotate]

@pechelman i recently scooped up a pair of Noir Herbie with an amber non-transitional lens. Everything else in a sunglass that I own is dark gray, dark brown and dark green. I typically do not like my eyes to be seen, and I really enjoy super dark sunnies.
But these JMM amber lenses are fantastic. Comfortable on the sunniest of days. And it allows me to achieve an “optical glass style/look”, with sunglass UV protection. Hopefully that makes sense. In other words, I wouldn’t normally be caught dead with non-prescription clear lenses (my wife would haze me and I’d deserve it LOL), yet these lenses allow me to “sort of” get away with it…
The lens works great indoors and at night. I find myself forgetting I have them on. 10/10 recommend amber.
