      Tried the District Vision Nagata and Junya sunglasses, but neither fit securely enough for me. Well made though and great designs. The pink lens on the Nagata is very good.

          Tried out Oakleys. I liked the sub zero (and after ordering they released a collab version with satisfy running with the same lens)

          But these didn’t fit securely so tried the sutro lite sweep and they fit great. Did a sweaty interval run with them yesterday and they were very comfortable. Long ride with them tomorrow. The prizm road lens increases contrast to better see road imperfections

              I’ve been doing a bit of research on acetate sunglasses that fall in between Ray Bans and JMM. These Lowercase NY ones have piqued my interest. They’re made in NY and look to be a pretty small operation. I pulled the trigger on these. I’ll report back.

                  I dropped by Nes Optiek in Amsterdam, and they had some very cool silver frames by Pampaloni.

                  If you want an alternative to the omnipresent JMM styles...

                    Grabbed an utter bargain on a pair of Randolph aviators to replace the Tom Fords I’ve been wearing for the past 12 years

                      Sadly the Lowercase NYs are too small so they’re going back. I found a great deal on a pair of Dita Sequoias though, $290, so those are headed my way.

                      I’ve decided JMMs aren’t in my future. Raising the price of something that’s already really expensive just because they’re on tv isn’t cool. My opinion only of course. 😈

                        Ive seen a few desirable JMM models for sale recently from people who have massive hordes in the 400-500$ range @Matt if that helps at all. If there's anything you're looking for in particular i can keep an eye out and send you the links, but totally understand. There's some inconsistent pricing as well from model to model that I havent figured out yet either.

                          Anybody own any Matsuda? They’ve kinda piqued my interest a couple of times lately but I know nothing about them. Seem more wire frame focused, kind of in the JMM price range but a little less. Some pretty cool stuff — I’ve been particularly interested in some round frame aviators (tbh I don’t know if you’d still call em that if the shape is round).

                            I did a google search yesterday on the best sunglasses (entirely subjective) and that’s what came up. That’s all I know.

                              Ah that’s interesting! Rivet & Hide carries them, so I figured they must be pretty high quality. I like the sort of side depth flange (or whatever you might call that) I see in the profile views of the aviators. Nice details. I also like some of the sort of wilder, almost steampunk-y ones with the interesting nose rests etc. Probably would be weird for me to bust those out but I dig the look.

                                not matsuda, but tried on a couple of pairs of Yuchi Toyama's recently and super impressed by whatever models they were. Definitely feel similar to JMM, maybe even a bit more refined and more finely finished.

                                  @popvulture I could be wrong, but I think @Giles has a pair of asymmetric frames from them...

                                    @popvulture not sure if this will help (but hope it does). I spent a while researching these a couple of months ago but never took it further. They look great, seem to be well made and the engraving really appeals. In the end I decided I’d rather spend on other stuff as I’m only likely to wear sunglasses once or twice a year!

                                    JMMs have never really appealed to me (I feel I should apologise for such heresy on here 🙂 ), so I can’t offer any comparative views.

                                      Hey, nothing wrong with not finding something appealing! There are quite a few JMM pairs that get way too flashy for me.

                                      I might see if there’s anywhere in LA I can check out some Masudas while I’m out here. I’m up to my ass in clothes and really need to put the brakes on buying anything new in that dept, but I’ll always go check out some shades. 😎

                                      EDIT yup, more than a few retailers
