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

[swf999]

I wasn’t picking up on anything suspicious from that fella, although nowadays you never know. I sometimes come off as too familiar with folx online because it’s my main way of socializing but I’m as normal as can be.

Asking for my phone number so he can send his photos on my phone? Bloody why? And why would I wanna lay eyes on some random geezer's pics when I never even requested them? It's proper creepy, that is.

Managed to find a brand new pair of Scarpa in Altan, and for a good price too! Shout-out to Vingerhoets-Optics.

Hey friends.. I just bought my first pair of JMM a few weeks ago, and I wore them for the first time today and this happened:

(The gold "Jacques Marie Mage Los Angeles is already half gone. I was shocked that this happened for what we pay for these frames..)

I know some people are going to say that this doesn't affect the functionality of the glasses, etc., etc. True, but also I don't want to have a generic-appearing brand of sunglasses after the 3rd wear. Also what happens if or when I want to sell them, definitely devalues the glasses.

I bought from an authorized retailer in Belgium. Would JMM repair this and/or replace this?

Are your facial temples acidic or porcupine-esque texture? LOL

Second of all what do you mean by "generic-appearing brand of sunglasses"? That thing is inside and is not visible. Secondly you want to showcase please look at me I spent 800$?

This is considered as normal wear and tear. Tomorrow people will complain, I see a minor hairline scratch inside of a temple because of my pointy hair texture...

If the hinge falls off, sure that's an issue. But honestly, I don't even know what is consider as a warranty and who has gone to do repair work as part of the warranty.

Look, I get how it sounds lol. But at the same time, I don't think it should be rubbing off after the first wear (for ~3 hours) you know?

I reached out to my authorized seller to see what my options are, if there are any.

Yeah, this is common. It happened to my army molinos.

It is weird...
My Molinos are old, and the gold lettering is as clear and bold as the day I got them.

Edit: I also just checked out my Enzos. They are perfect as well, and I wear the crap out of both of these frames.

idk I feel like you shouldnt be buying these 800 dollar frames if these small minor details will bother you might as well buy some raybans, end of the day they are just some plastic frames and go enjoy life with it lol.

Best way to maintain it is just wipe down every time you finish wearing it.

My Hickory Evans came like that, the golden letters weren't complete as I bought them.
The JMM reseller received two pairs of that particular model and both had the same 'issue'. Had both in my hands.
I assume it has to be with the 'Handcrafted' process, so the logo is not always as deep engraved as it should be. As a result the golden paint sometimes does not sit properly or easily goes away.
Honestly at the beginning was a bit upset but does not bother me anymore.
I did not have that problem with any other of my JMM even after using them many many times.

Hope it helps!

Seeing how the Julien sit on you, I would give the Dealan a try! A must have for every JMM collection
May be a non-tortoise colorway, so it is not repetitive with the Argyle.
