    Jacques Marie Mage - Wolves, Obnoxious Acetate and The American Dream

    Last year, I ordered the Plaza in both Charcoal and Rover from 1269. The Charcoal arrived a month ago, but the Rover fell through the cracks for a while. Many thanks to JMM for sorting through the issue and finding me a pair, and to Eric at 1269 for fitting a brown lens in place of the OEM...

    You received the Plaza in Rover, but are waiting for the Plaza in Charcoal. Meanwhile, I received the Plaza in Charcoal, but am still waiting for the Rover (I pre-ordered both at the same time).

    I love blue lenses on black frames. That said, many blue lenses on thick black acetate frames become black when the frame is worn. The darker the blue lens, the more likely it will become black on the face. Lighter blue lenses are better at retaining their blue hue against black acetate even...

    I have the Jax in Buffalo. I am considering putting plum mirrored lenses in them. I know there are a few different JMM OEM mirrored lenses. Nevertheless, I question whether putting mirror lenses in a JMM frame is somehow discordant. I could go with non-mirrored plum lenses instead. It is a...

    Many thanks to Eric from 1269 for my new Plaza in Charcoal. Eric replaced the Ash lenses with blue. Real happy with the result. I also ordered the Plaza in Rover (putting brown lenses in those).

    Zoomer/Marco currently have two of my sunglasses. Both are frameless and Marco is doing some very cool things with them. Therefore, it is taking some time (over two weeks so far). Given the custom work and Marco's incredible attention to detail, I am happy to wait. Marco told me that, with...

    I agree -- the Julien looks fantastic. That said, I am eagerly awaiting the Plaza. I recently saw some professional shots and the Plaza looks amazing . . . so much so that I pre-ordered charcoal and rover. The Balzac (terrible name) is also intriguing. Someone mentioned a new titanium...

    TwelveSixtyNine is offering a complementary collectors case (burgundy or green) with a JMM frame purchase. The case is manufactured at the same factory in France as the JMM case and is the exact same quality without the JMM branding.

    The Zephirin 47 is materially larger than the 44. Its a night and day difference. For me, the 44s are too small and the 47s are perfect. The Zephirin 47 is one of my favor JMM styles. I wish JMM would make it in more colorways.

    A Thread for Sunglasses (High End and Rarities Welcome)

    Does anyone have any experience with Akoni sunglasses? Not the models made for Balmain; rather, Akoni's own line.

    Jacques Marie Mage - Wolves, Obnoxious Acetate and The American Dream

    Over the years, I purchased several pairs of sunglasses from GSC, including four JMMs. For a while, GSC offered me favorable pricing on JMMs (e.g, discounts). That said, I purchased my last two JMMs from TwelveSixtyNine because, even though GSC had both pairs in stock and I was a long time...

    A Thread for Sunglasses (High End and Rarities Welcome)

    The problem with watches is that the amounts involved are exponentially greater than sunglasses, shoes, and in my case leather jackets as well. I was consumed with watches for several years. However, when I started wearing the monetary equivalent of a house on my wrist, I realized that it was...

    Thank you. I got these from Eric at TwelveSixtyNine. I think most/all JMM retailers will sell OEM JMM lenses.

    I picked up a Jax in Hickory and swapped the light green lenses for JMM blue lenses. Real happy with the result.

    They are not mutually exclusive. I enjoy JMM as much as the next person -- just purchased my ninth pair. That said, I still own and wear many other brands, including Thom Browne (I wore TB a couple of days ago). My favorite brand is variety.

    @Jaymig926 -- Happy to hear that you beat the C. Very generous offer and equally thoughtful "pay it forward" condition. My guess is 88.

    The Fellini temple is larger than the Molino -- I prefer the smaller temple on the Molino.
