Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…
-
@JerkStore Thanks! I ordered a pair and received them today (Ichikawa in Smoke fade). I don't really like how they look on me though since I have brown hair and something about them looks off on me. I think full transparent ones (beige) could look better on me, but I'm not sure and they're sold out in the EU as far as I know.
@pechelman Thanks - yeah I've seen those photos as well, but the (I'll try to put it as respectfully as I can here) models' hairstyles and the quality of the photos (too close makes JMMs look way bigger on the face than they already are) didn't give me a good idea on how they would look on me with my.... hair

Here are my Molino in smoke fade. But it’s kind of hard to see. They look better the more charcoal your complexion is (like mine). -
These are prescription and my eye guy always makes my lenses super dark so no one knows where Im looking. It’s a preference and I like it.

@pechelman
they look awesome as opticals
the black frame suits you very well !
As sunglasses they are " only" black sunglasses

Personally, I just think it's the cooler lens color, exacerbated by your preferred opacity, against your warmer? skin that might be throwing you for a loop. If those were identical opacity in a dark green or brown I bet you might feel different.
I’m also not asking for anyone’s advice. Someone asked for a pic or smoke fade and I provided it. I like how they look and designed them as such. Don’t need to change anything when I’m very happy with them.

Thanks for contributing your pic @JerkStore . I think it’s up to @cityofdelusion now to share a pic if he’s wondering if smoke fade works for him.

Mea culpa. I may have misread something in your post about them looking strange and you couldn't figure out why. I thought you were seekng input. Maybe I confused cityofdelusion's post with yours? I think they look fine personally.

@pechelman I agree that the frames look good.
The Rodenstock ColorMatic IQ Sun 2 range of lenses transition from a lighter to a darker tint. They have a grey that goes from a 50% to 90% tint. That might be an option.
(I considered getting those in a pair of Papa Nui Coral Cruiser Sunglasses, but the frames were too large for my prescription.)
-
It’s all good. I know no one had any ill-intent.
-
@pechelman Awesome Quentins!
My first pair just arrived (Cash in Folsom) and I'm stoked. Second pair is already on it's way, and I can tell this might be a budding problem...
-
nice score @SonnyTheElder !
-
Going back to Perth means going back to my JMM dealer.. ended up with a couple pairs. Limited edition Herbie collection and a pair of vendome in a beautiful greyish blue (Mink I think they call it)
Also had a reminder of how much the price increased looking through my old stuff. First pair in 2019, only AUD775. Nowadays they’re AUD1200 and above!!

@Kasi yeah some of the special collaboration ones have insane prices. luckily the AUD is in a good spot for me right now to get some.
-
@louisbosco the new frames look good, and I agree that the prices have gone up a long way.
Incidentally, OnePointSevenFour (in Sydney and Melbourne) has a sale on, which includes some JMM styles.
