Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

[october rust]

I've actually had pretty good luck with the opposite in recent years! Usually end up paying slightly less in retail and getting the ~6-10% VAT tax refund at a lot of the luxury stores.

Either way, ended up grabbing a pair of Torino's online last night. Cooler heads prevailed and I opted for a black frame, but I can't stop thinking about the Reserve pair...

I will see what my local dealer in Perth has when I go back. could get -10%VAT when I leave the country..

Gradually making good friends with my tortoise + green lenses Dealan. I admit JMMs are different enough from any of my previous sunnies that it has taken me a bit to reach out for them in auto mode.

Look great

@motojobobo if I had a pair that looked like that I’d reach out for them in my sleep.

Thanks for the encouragement @Matt and @Jcaz6996 . They are surprisingly comfy given their hefty appearance and don’t feel heavy while wearing them.

Two day shipping from Italy to California never ceases to amaze me! Really happy with these. They’re big…. but I have a big head.

My girlfriend was giving me shit for how much I spent, but when they arrived she only had good things to say which is always encouraging.

The only thing I can’t decide is if I keep the blue lenses or switch them for black or maybe even green.

nice keep the blue lens my opinion

[october rust]

Thanks fellas. Going to try them out with the blue tomorrow and see how they do in the sun

Probably have met my quota for sunglsses for the next few years

Grabbed the Abyss Molino in Mexico at Silverdeer, and fell in love with the Dealan 53 and found a pair in Agar online.

The blue lenses in the Torinos I previously posted are currently getting replaced with a G15 lens. Ultimately the blue just didn’t give me enough sun blockage to be practical for daily wear.

[Matt]

Very cool.

[T.J.]

Got some new Molino today. I’m not sure about fit and colorway. My first Molino were 55. These are the Standard ones.

[Giles]

Personally, I love those....

@october-rust sweet!

@october-rust re: the lens replacement, how'd you do it? Do you send them to JMM or does an optometrist do it? Curious how easy it is to get the same spec lens JMM uses, just in a diff shade. I've got a pair of Balzac in Titan and have also thought I might like to switch out the lighter blue lenses for maybe some more classic dark green.

[mclaincausey]

I know it wasn’t addressed to me, but I think any optometrist should be able to spec replacement lenses for any frame within reason. @popvulture

[popvulture]

Cool I figured! I don't wear glasses so I've never really dealt with an optometrist. Basically my main concern would be getting the same lenses JMM uses in there. Wouldn't wanna have forked out all that cash for a pair of shades, then something lesser gets popped in.

Not assuming that an optometrist would use something cheaper, more just wondering whether it'd be the same spec.

I recently went through a local optometrist (that doesn't carry JMM) for JMM shades rx lenses. If I had to do it over again, I would get my rx from local optometrist, then order from online retailer that carries JMM (I've had good luck with Twelve Sixty Nine and Black Optical but there are others) and have them update lenses to rx.

Local optometrist got it right eventually, but it took a lot of Q&A and a couple extra weeks due to miscommunication / not following instructions.
