any torino, molino55, enzo?

I'm too new to recognize all the models, but one of the blue ones looks to be a molino. DM me and I'll direct you to where I saw them and/or send you the screenshot of what I think is the blue Molino

The card says there's 500 of them, so they aren't extremely limited. I suppose they thought the Pacific would sell out faster so kept them hidden while the rest of the colorways went on presale. IMO the Earl is excellent. You are getting a lot of titanium for your buck. It's got weight to it, but well-balanced. I am going to get polarized black mirror lenses put into mine, and I have a gold on order that I am going to put brown lenses in. IMO there's too much yellow going on with the stock lenses.

ah ok thanks. so not a secret limited release then. wow, must be really special frames to order two of the same. i'm hoping to try them on tomorrow

Hello. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I received my Earl in Pacific today. Eyerim insert is black, otherwise colors are silver/gunmetal. Lenses are midnight gradient (dark blue).

Nice! I approve!

Query: How do you fellers find out about these colors that are not advertised? I don’t see Earl Pacific listed anywhere? Am I not in the cool kids club or what?!

Here ya guys go. Mine arrived today


Last picture is size comparison since I was hearing it was very similiar to ascari and Sandro.

They feel smaller and more narrow

How do they fit in comparison to your Rawlins? Smaller/tighter than that?

Do enzos fit wide like Torino/molino55? Feel like jmm not gonna be happy with the amount of returns I do

I have a big head, and Enzos are a little snug compared to the Molino 55’s. That said, I think Enzo’s look better on my face than any other frame I have tried.

Hello sir. Sending you a DM now with a hot tip

Alright listen up everyone! This feller JessBob as far as I can tell is a relative new comer to this here electronic bulletin board, but I really dig him. He’s a stand up cat full of good information, insight, and an eagerness to help others. I don’t care what page he joined. He ranks as a page 1-er if you ask me. On this there can be no debate. Three cheers for JessBob! Huzzah!

I have a really wide face because I’m fat but not absurdly so. That being said, my Molino 55 and Dealan 53 are by far the widest looking frames on my face. They are the only JMMs that I know for a fact that are not undersized for me. I think they fit at the upper end of well for width. I would like to get a pair of Enzo, but I fear they may not be wide enough.

 

[Prometheus195]

I find the Molino 55's are widest, then the Torino, and the Dealan 53 is the narrowest of the bunch, which I can barely pull off. I have tried on the Enzo and while it narrowly fits, it doesn't quite look right on me, imo. I also have Hemmings which are perhaps a bit wide on me, but I still love them. Hot tip: Hemmings in Indigo coming soon, and you may want to call the JMM boutiques and inquire about their Torino selection.

 

[constant struggle]

Hemmings I had in rover and got rid of them they were actually too big looking. But in indigo I might need them.

 

[Deangelo1555]

JMM advertise the width of all of their frames on the website.

A Jmm frame is anywhere from 145mm wide to 150mm (I think)

If they were too big in Rover, they will hardly be any smaller in Indigo.

A model from the Last Frontier range, the Red Cloud Dark Havana I saw in a shop here in Berlin, was the one which awoke my interest in the brand, but meanwhile I lost any interest in this line, as I loathe those opulent ornaments. Some models really appeal to me, as the aformentioned Red Cloud and the Dakota, but can't get over my issue. I wished they would release some model with more subdued ornaments, but can well understand that it's the reason which many fans like them for and what set them apart from the regular models.

 

[JessBob]

Interested to see what they post up tomorrow - kinda hoping I don’t like any!

Well "tomorrow" is here and the new models (Truckee, Mojave, and Belvedere) are now posted and live on the JMM website

@Aroma - how did you get those LF in reserve? Don't see them on the site. But damn, those are fantastic. After picking up Torino in Rx, I have a new found admiration for reserve. @Easily Amused knew what was up years ago.

Thankfully, drop 2 LF are all small for my noggin. Might have to seriously consider the Earl, although the last thing I need are new frames.

Just picked up Dita Mastix after seeing them at my optician. Fit and style is chunky and oversized. I will say, even though they are made from Japanese acetate, they seriously feel like plastic compared to JMM (but really nice high quality plastic). No comparison. Debating whether to keep them. It's like I'm just accumulating cool frames at this point. Probably need to unload some JMMs to keep this hobby going.
