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

[Roikins]

Nice. Those and the Dealans would be my picks. Don’t think they’ve done a Dealan in rover before but I’m not crazy about all that gold.

And as for the packaging mentioned above - it all looks very nice but I’m sure many of us would forego all that for a couple hundred off the price. It’s a luxurious looking box but useless really and takes up a lot of space on a shelf or in a cupboard.

I already have a shelf full of boxes kept in case I (or my descendants post mortem) decide to sell all my swag with full kit but they aren’t really doing me much good. I’d prefer all the $$ to go into the glasses and they could sell them in an recyclable egg box!

The presentation box is getting into the luxury watch size presentation boxes.

I agree - the box looks great but no one is ever going to use it after the first day and the day you sell it/give it away. I’d rather them discount the price and I’ll take standard packaging. Completely understand why they’re not doing that though.

We’ve seen our fair share of black, breccia, and rover. It’s hard for me to go for those colors given the price and small change. Rover doesn’t look great on me so I had to pass even though pictures always look good. At least the collector in me has scratched the itch with one frame from this collection 😆.

Is this the 1st time they've done this fade on the arms?

They’ve done it on the 5 year anniversary but it was gold instead of silver for the black frame

The box is already gone, out of my sight and won't be seen in many months/years again.

😁😁😁
Exactly my point.
Makes for a nice unboxing flex for those on instagram, otherwise a bit of a white elephant.

Dealan 5 year Anniversary.

Luckily none of the new releases appeal to me. Nice frames for sure, but too big and heavy. Too pricey as well.

I find myself looking for older, less bulky frames these days.

Anyone looking to sell an Artuad?

Just came back and picked up the Jagger in the Decade color. Replaced the orginal stock glass lenses with my 25% blue gradient tint rx. The titanium on this one feels thicker, more substantial than the regular version. Sizing is also different, it comes in a 56-16 instead of 58-14. Overall I liked it despite the big price tag. It's a nice birthday present for myself

The box is unnecessary heavy, cloth feels smoother/better than the one from the last frontier.

interesting. i have a normal pair and just ordered these. so they fit smaller?

Absolutely legitimate. I'm torn, on one hand I think that every serious JMM collector should have at least one piece from the Decade Collection, on the other one I don't see anything I want to own at any cost.

I'll give myself some time.

By the way, was that obtrusive engraving on the lenses really necessary?

I dont have the normal one to compare, I think they might fit the same way, but the glasses it self are smalled because of the inner eyerim.

So the value add seems to be the box, the wire core fade, some with glass/polarized lenses, and 12mm acetate which seems to have changed the measurements—albeit minimally

Two favourites of mine.

Zephirin Bark Horn.

Walker Rover.

A lot of nice but useless frills. It will probably be a pass for me.

WOW, it's truly beautiful! I really love the side shields, and I think they are a perfect addition to this frame.

Could you kindly tell me the frame total width?! Unfortunately, the measurements on the JMM website are often inaccurate.
tnx and congrats

I've set my sights on three upcoming purchases

This is a screenshot from one of the decade videos on their Instagram account. I think these look cool, but this version of the frame isn’t available. I’m wondering if it’s the original version of Windsor?

Thank you. I will get some more photos later this week and post up. The lenses are G15 (G = Green) with AR multicoating on the back which kind of makes them look grey.

Agree these look great. How much is it to get these lenses? Would be interested in doing something similar.
