They're really good….I’ve been looking for a replacement lens for my Rover Walkers and these might be it.

If you already don't have black, go with Eclipse.

You wear it well. (You guys with your normally sized heads…sheesh! ?)

Thanks, I'd go for it. Most of my lens replacements are polarized G15s. The color is dark enough to keep your eyes comfortable in bright light, it is polarized (if you like that), and complements a lot of frame colors.

Well, I am a first time caller, and only a recent listener. I have read through quite a number of posts, and will state this at the start: I believe I may be the eldest of all the contributing posters on here, and I recoil at cameras; nevertheless, I just received my first pair of JMM eyewear, and I am going to overcome my reticence and post two photos of me wearing these frames right here on this blog thingy. Frankly, I am surprised I am doing this.

I have long been a lover of eyewear, and have a decent sized collection of frames. I am also a full time eyeglass wearer. I tend to lean towards eyeglasses with a 40’s vintage look, and in fact have a few beautiful frameless pieces from the 1920’s. My favorite frames that I wear as of late are made of a rather thick (though not JMM 10mm thick) acetate that have a lens measurement of just 38mm (not my smallest).

In other words, the thicker, mid-century through 70’s JMM vibe s a departure, but the materials, as you all know, are so nice that they are, as you all have noted, hard to resist.

My first JMM frame, I have not seen mentioned here, and it is the Irwin, which has a 49” lens measurement, I think—don’t hold me to it. My noggin sadly cannot handle the larger frames, (oh, how I wish I could wear the Enzo). While, I believe I look better in a slightly darker frame, my Irwins are in the Antique Tortoise, which I love, and which I will make work through pairing it with the right attire. The contain a transition lens.

Next up? A pair of Jax in maybe the Havana Tortoise.

Ok, here goes, the old guy in glasses, where else would you ever see that?! (I hate selfies, and like an idiot, I captured the television set to news in the background. I am sorry. Hey, at least it isn’t a car selfie! ? See, I have read through your postings).

They look great...
You have an Adam West vibe going on there.

Thanks. One of the ancillary benefits of sunglasses, along with clothing in general, is to cover up self-perceived imperfections (like my beady staring eyes).

Well that’s my dilemma I already have Torino in Shadow and Taos in Noir 5

Trying to decide between Argyle and Eclipse…thought?

Eclipse! But I’m biased because I have them. Those have a good oversized look on you. I must have a fat head because other than being thicc, they look normal size on me, I think. ?

Tough one. I prefer the Eclipse on you much more.

But full disclosure, I am generally not a fan of tortoise and will almost always choose something else.

If I were in this position, I would pass on both and wait for a different color. The model is not going anywhere. Ymmv, of course.

I like the Argyle better. I think the big frames look heavy in darker colors such as Eclipse, and I'm ambivalent about the exposed hardware.

Adam West! KA-POW!! Very cool, thank you, and I am grateful you didn’t say Julie Newmar (who was perhaps the greatest Cat Woman of all time)

If you get the Dealans, we will call you Cat Woman.

?. Which frames need I purchase to be called “Dog Guy?” None? Man, I am a tough crowd! ?. The Cat Eye worked for Buddy Holly and Dillan, but that takes a level of cool elusive to mere mortals.

Glad I have them too.

Anyone got the Fellini in Surplus, or the Dealan in Vanta?
