I don’t like new colors (prefer Old zephirin in blazing star), but very very like new cases and new cleaning cloths (all are amazing)
I was thinking the same thing. I’d take that case over my leather hard case any day

Just curious…for those of you wearing JMM optical frames, do you wear them every day or are they more night out/once in a while glasses? Got my Dealan opticals last week and absolutely love them. Big, bold and ballsy ;-) I also have a couple of pairs of Anne et Valentin frames I wear, and they’re a bit lighter and a tiny bit more comfortable.

I think it depends on the frame.

I find the thin metal frames to be a lot more comfortable than the thick acetates. I wear my Jax every once in a while -- will switch it out depending on what I'm wearing for the day -- but the Scarpas I can wear all day and every day.

Recently bought the Prudhon but they're getting fitted with prescription lenses right now. Haven't had much time with them.

my sandro are a once a week for sure, maybe with transitions lenses I would wear them more frequently

I wear my Molino RX all day, most days…… yes they are quite heavy, but you get used to the weight, the fact that they are comfortable makes the weight bareable. my only complaint is that like most acetates they tend to slip a bit when sweating.

Yeah the slipping down is even more exaggerated with these since they’re so heavy, but I agree not uncomfortably heavy. I have an acetate Anne Valentin and a metal/acetate combo both of which are much lighter than these Dealans, but they’re not nearly as cool.

I can wear my Clyffords easily all day and they’re super comfortable. Admittedly, if I know I have 12 hours of glasses time in the day I usually won’t wear my Taos.

Unless the fit absolutely demands it.

I wear my JMMs all day, every day. Either the Enzo or the Yves (and sometimes the Taos). Once my pre-order Kobo comes in, I'm sure they will be my favorite to wear all day for a while.

My local boutique has a Caine sunglass in argyle and a Enzo argyle optical which I’m thinking about putting a brown polarized lens in…trying to decide which if any…

Agree on the colors and the cloths. To me, the frame colors are too light and translucent. But wow, those cleaning cloths...

I wish JMM would sell these (along with those Nick Fouquet hat pins) separately.

Does anyone have a pair of Fellini's that don't fit their faces that they got on sale at End by any chance? If so DM me!
