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

[Easily Amused]

Anybody have a pictures of The Hickory colorway on ? I can never tell by the stock photos how the color way looks. :/

Molino in Hickory here. Obviously depends on the lighting, but also your complexion, hair color, etc.

Thank you ! Those look great! Are you able to see the Arrowhead on the side ?

Thanks. This has the exposed silver temple wirecores on the outside and arrowhead rivets in silver, if this is what you mean.

New Enzo's on the website. Lapis and Saber, as I predicted. I'm surprised Lapis is limited to 100

Teak is virtually identical to Hickory to my knowledge, except it has gold hardware instead of silver. I believe it's only been released on Hemmings and Lankaster though

Yeah sometimes I look at teak versus hickory and think it might be slightly darker, but it’s probably just my mind wanting there to be a difference. I think it might be the same

Samoa and argyle are the same way

I’m pretty sure teak and hickory have the same acetate colour, barring small differences across batches perhaps. Same with argyle and samoa. JMM’s colourways don’t refer only to the acetate, but also other details. E.g. the difference between samoa and argyle seems to be that the former has exposed wirecore and the latter doesn’t. Just like titan seems to be the same as beluga but with silver hardware instead of gold. The teak Hemmings have wider wirecore than the hickory ones IIRC, not sure about hardware colour.

And then there’s the lenses, which seem to be treated separately from the colourway. E.g. the Plaza in argyle have blue lenses whereas in Dealan they’re “bronze” (pink-ish). In some models hickory had olive lenses and blue in others, and so on.

As it’s been discussed in the past, it’s all pretty ridiculous, but as the business has expanded while trying to keep the “exclusivity/limited production” factor they basically have to make up new “models” frequently. The permutations of acetate colour, exposed vs. non-exposed wirecore, hardware colour and lenses colour can get you pretty far. Now you have 20 variations of “black”.

ps I really wish the Hemmings was smaller.

Palisades is a horn style colorway. They did an Evans release about a month ago.

Thank you! Hope they release it in more models as both Kinney and Hollywood had 4-5 frames each.

I have both Hickory and Teak, will compare them.

Yes, the nomenclature can be confusing and misleading. The new Saber colourway (Enzo), for example, is another iteration of black with exposed silver wirecore under a layer of red acetate. Sedona and Breccia are the same colour.

As for Plaza and Dealan you're referring probably to Argyle, not Hickory.

The Hemmings are large, but they're supposed to be that way, also people with wide faces need a fitting frame. I know, they're not the same, but you could try the Ascari.

 

[MickeyPunch]

Yep sorry meant argyle not hickory, I’ve updated my comment.

Trying on some Ascaris is def. in my to-do list.

Not feeling that fake horn colour… it’s like when some car has fake carbon fiber.

Do you mean the Palisades colourway now? I really like it. I can follow your thought, partially, but you will see that also havana and tortoise shell colours are imitations.

 

[Abraxis]

Wait what? I guess I need to wind down my efforts to harvest sweet, sweet acetate from wild tortoises.

 

[Shoemog]

Wrong section. Soz

 

[DorianGreen]

Hemmings Teak.

In comparison with Hickory, besides the gold wirecore instead of silver, it seems to me that the acetate is a tad lighter.

 

[MickeyPunch]

Nice, IMO the minor differences in acetate are more likely to be due to different batches and/or natural aging than something intentional.

@elisiX I ordered the hickory Enzo from Cettire only to get an email saying it’s an inventory mistake. Funny thing is, still shows up as available on the site.
