Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

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

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

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

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

I had tapas at La Plata in the Gothic Barrio last night. Tomato bread and oil, fried sardines and a sausage bocadillo. Was excellent.

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!

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.

@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.

Nice! Thanks @Autorotate. I had one concern over the amber being too similar to the frame's acetate and if they'd clash which is why I put the photos up there.. Amber is somewhat preferable to me for functionality but the sapphire could be fun though and pick up on all the blue/denim tones in the wardrobe.

Also love the herbie's! I've got a pair of black fades that I put in green transitions that I love. Love all the fine details on the herbie's and symbolism (maybe unintentional?) on them. Also doesnt hurt that he's one of my favorite composers/musicians.

@pechelman went back to you recent post. I like how you showed the different colors at different stages of transition. Awesome.
Yep, I agree, the Sapphire would really make the frame pop. Also worth mentioning, you have such awesome hair that it’d be hard to make sunnies not look right.

@pechelman I like the amber, but have you considered the Style Mirrors? A reflective lens might be fun and would pick up on the metal details on the frame.
