Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

Love how the colour pops in the sun

I noticed that my 85 % blue-tinted glasses weren’t the best for daily use when it comes to blocking the sun. So I went to the optician and ordered 85% grey-tinted prescription lenses for my black pair of Ichikawas instead. I then had them install the blue-tinted lenses from the black pair into my beige pair of Ichikawas. Now the beige pair has a purpose and will be worn in less extreme sunlight conditions.

Does anyone have any advice for hard cases? I received a preordered pair of Walkers in Bloodstone today (and they are excellent), but they don't seem to fit very well in the provided soft leather case. Is this a known quirk of the Walkers (which seem to have extra material around the rims, making them thicker)? Will a JMM hard case fit better?

In answer to my own question - I dropped into the new JMM retail store in London today and they were more than happy to swap out the soft case for a Longhorn hard case. Apparently it’s a common problem for some pairs to not fit well in the soft case.

The staff there were great and I was able to try on lots of different frames. I’d recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in west London and has some time to kill.

Having said that - I’ve just encountered a potential downside to visiting the boutique… After trying on a few pairs of Fellinis I decided I’d really like a pair one day, then ended up buying an Indigo pair that I stumbled across while browsing the internet on the way home!

Thread’s been quiet for almost a year…new pair arriving tomorrow which will be converted into my next optical glasses. Plan to use the Zeiss Photochromic X in pioneer for the lens…

Details and pictures to follow…(it may be a few weeks before everything is completed.)

JMM (Hammond) out for the afternoon

[pechelman]

Picked these up in the pre sale and brought them to a fitting place. Will share more when we get back home. All the guides on our glacier trek kept asking me about them.

I dig them
