Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

How do they look outside? To me it's like the lenses are too dark making them present a little more harshly on your skin tone. The frames I think suit you well.

@pechelman

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]

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.

Looks good to me! The frame suits you, and if the lenses are the way you like em, I say it’s a keeper

[pechelman]

Speaking of dark sunglasses, should I keep these as sunglasses or convert to opticals with transition lenses?

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

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 !
