For the New Year my shopping list for eyewear includes frames by Lesca, Lindberg, and Mykita. I'm sure 2024 will be a great year.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Any recommendations for titanium frames similar to Masunaga Chord D (pictured) or G, but wider? The two frames I wear right now are 52-20-145 and 50-21-138, both 140mm total width. The Chord D's are only 47-20-145 so I think they'd be too narrow.

Lens shape doesn't look that similar to the Chord's. Too tall/narrow, wouldn't suit my face.

For reference, I currently wear Warby Parker Gus Wide's (pictured). They fit my face well. I'm looking for something similar but without the cross bar and better quality.

What are your thoughts on J F Rey? Found myself quite liking the carbon core collection and went even as far as ordering ones 2899 0500 https://www.jfrey.fr/en/_jf2899-en/
Interesting construct and quite a lot of quirky details throughout their collection

Are Moscot lemtosh worth the price they cost?
I'm thinking about buying one mainly because they have small sizes like 44

I currently own 2 Moscot frames. One is the Lemtosh sun and the other is a Momza frame.. both are very nice, but I would say there are other brands that would give you more bang for buck.

Have you had a look at Trevi Coliseum 1971 frames? The look is similar and they are way cheaper.. like 90 - 100 euros..

Plus Moscot has increased prices A LOT in the last few years.. I bought my frames in 2020, if my memory serves well, and then they were listed at like EUR 275 (and I got a discount on my prescription at the eyewear shop).. now frames are much more expensive and I don't think the quality justifies the hefty price increase.

I find the Lemtosh arm tips more comfortable than the Momza's..

I've almost pulled the trigger a few times,...

And to be honest, after buying a few JMM frames, everything else seems affordable.
