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

[sinnedk]

I just picked up the Eclipse Enzo. Don’t have experience with Shadow 2 but what I can tell is the Shadow 2 sunnies have a blue lense. I don’t think there’s really a difference in the black acetate color, but I could be wrong. One thing that jumps out is that the Shadow gold temple wiring appears more exposed through the length, which suggests slight difference in the acetate.

I'm gonna go in-person and compare. gonna me these "sunnies"

Folks got a few questions, I am most likely picking up Enzo's in the next week.

1. Does anyone know the difference between shadow 2 and eclipse? They both seem identical in the pics (see below).
2. Do folks view these models better as sunnies or prescription lenses (clear, not doing chameleons) ?
* If sunnies I will most likely switch out my molino to be clear lenses.

• shadow 2 - https://jacquesmariemage.com/product/1140/
• 
• eclipse - https://jacquesmariemage.com/product/1238/
• 

The lens tint is the only difference between the two.

@sinnedk I think the ultra wide arms on the Enzo suit them a bit better for sunglasses. That said mine are transitions and they work great. The only issue with optical is the super wide and tall Enzo could create a bit of a bug eye effect especially if you have a thicker prescription. Are you doing script sunglasses? Just have them take the shades out and try them on with no lenses in to see if you should go the optical route.

My sunglasses fell off while I was walking my dog today. I walked around my yard for a while with my metal detector, but I haven’t been able to find them. If anyone has any tips for finding sunglasses, let me know.

@ahoslpatubep I'm sorry, but they fell off your face?

Shadow is also “light gold” hardware and the Eclipse is “dark gold”

Question for you guys that replace the lenses from your JMMs:

Do you go just any optometrist to get lenses made or research a place to get them done?
If it's a specific place, how do you figure that's the right place to go to?
Sorry if it's a dumb question, I've never had custom lenses before and want to get them done right for my JMMs.

I would’ve realized if that was the case. They were hanging from my collar.

@ahoslpatubep ah understood. this might sound counterintuitive, but I've had success finding shiny items when it's dark. I walk around shining light at the ground and as long as it isn't super wet or anything out, it should reflect pretty nicely for you to see.

I get the prescriptions filled at the stockist which sold me the frames.

I just called my health insurance provider and asked them which places do they help cover. My health insurance doesn't cover the entire cost of my prescription lenses, but they cover some of it. So I got a list of approved places they cover and went there.

UrbanComp on here has mentioned that he sometimes gets lenses made in Chinatown. If I didn't have my other place, I would probably just go there.

I don't have enough experience with a wide range of providers, so I can't say whether going to the "right" place makes a difference. That said, I've never had problems with my prescription lenses.

I got prescription lenses for my first pair of JMMs at the stockist since they were covered (otherwise close to $150), and the second in Chinatown for $80 since they weren’t covered. Honestly I can’t tell the difference between the two.

Thank you guys for the info and replies, very helpful. @UrbanComposition Is there a specific place that you go to in Chinatown?

Eye Studio Optometrist. They had the latest transitions in grey and brown for just a small up charge, and I got my frames back in 4 days pre-covid.
