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

[Badger716]

What do you guys think about a Belize for someone with a shorter head but otherwise fits well?

Tried them on today on a whim and the bridge fit is perfect, the width is perfect, and the opticians seemed to love the look too. Like many here I'm not a fan of the crazy side embellishments but the place I went to is the only place near me that accepts my insurance so it's the Agar colorway or nothing. Maybe wait for another Belize colorway?

I seem to struggle finding good fitting JMMs (and glasses in general). Only ones that fit are Molino 55s and Zephirin 47s, literally any frame that has the bigger size in the name lol. Everything is too narrow, and when a frame is wide enough like Enzos or Yves they have narrow bridge fits and awkwardly clip my eyebrows as opticals...

Might swing by again tomorrow to get better photos to post here

Post a fit, they could be a great oversized fit, or they could be a huge brick.

Not released yet. The pics come from trunk shows.

As requested, Belize fit pics. Thinking of doing a 50% base tint that transitions into a dark 95% in the sun, so basically a sunglass replacement that looks ok indoors and can drive with.

Brother said it doesn’t suit my style/personality (which is kinda true imo, they’re super outlandish), but also he’s unfamiliar with the JMM look in general, so idk.

They’d definitely be my superstar glasses tho lol

I think they could work as oversized sunglasses. They seem to be a statement piece. If you really like them, get them!

They are clearly oversized. Get them, if you like this look, but it's at the limit.

I think you could find better fitting frames.

I really like them as sunnies for you, I don't like them as opticals unfortunately, they are too large for that vibe.

Tell me more about how Zeph 47s fit you, it seems highly unlikely that such a narrow frame would work when others don't.

If molino 55 work, why not molino 52 or dealan 53?

If it's a width issue, I'm right there with you. I wear Yves and Torino as daily opticals

It’s a width and bridge fit issue.

Bridge fit is a huge pet peeve of mine and is something that’s an important detail that can’t be changed easily, it honestly drives me crazy lol. You might be able to request them to adjust the bridge but your optician has to redo your rx lenses as it will have a different OC. There’s little chance they’ll do that for glasses they publicly display for people to try on.

For width, a rule of thumb I look for is when I’m putting on the frames, if I can feel the acetate flexing out when I put them on, and/or if they look like they’re bowing out too much when on it’s a no go. Flexing over time can’t be great for the glasses and it puts pressure on your temples, which isn’t great for your head and for already chunky glasses.

I think what you said a few pages ago is very true. Molino 55s/Torinos/Belizes fit similar heads.

I’ve attached a photo of me with Zeph 47s. They don’t really have any of the problems I mentioned above (although the bowing out is slightly there if you look from afar). IMO numbers can be a misnomer, they’re more for opticians than for consumers (Spectacle Factory has a good video explaining this)

Thoughts on Jagger versus Yves?

Take the photo looking into the mirror, not a selfie from the front facing camera as it's yields misleading results.

Also I’m here to shill again for the Ocre Ash. Going to use them on a trip and put up some pics

Can't wait for these pics, I think I'm about to order them! I have the Kaines but I think the Ashcrofts will be similar but a bit shorter; maybe better for opticals. Really want to make sure I have the right frames for my face because I definitely can't afford multiple frames like most of y'all Especially when the lenses are close to $1000

The Zephirin looks good.
