Is that the Jean in Titan?
I laughed at this because they are a dead ringer. Now we know the real inspiration behind them.

(Tommy Pickles, for the people who did not watch Rugrats.)

@basscellosax I like the black ichi a lot more on you than the argyle for opticals. Anything goes for sunglasses.

It may simply be a poor photo, but I don’t care for the way the tones of the argyle interact with your complexion. But again, could be the photo.

The Black makes a statement in the best possible way.

If you decide you want something other than black, I think the dark Havana Ichi would be a better choice than argyle.

Dark Havana would be perfect, but I can't find any (one would do! 😃).

So, I'm offering Dealan Noir 6 (VERY gently used) with stock and non-perscription Hoya blue filter lenses and all the money in the world for Ichikawa in dark havana. :)

Thought the community might be interested in a little state-of-the-collection post after some acquisitions and a few frames having been let go as well. Top to bottom, left to right:

Fellini in Shadow (optical)
Enzo in Surplus (optical)
Jeff in Argyle (optical)
Ichikawa in Sand with amethyst Transition
Rawlins in Surplus with brown Transition
Rawlins in Marine II with wine/plum sun lenses
Felson in Dark Havana with dark amber gradient sun lenses
Felson in Army with dark olive polarized lenses
Jeff in Noir (sample lens but will probably become a Transition)
Mishima in Rover

Impressive collection @lsterling there.

One of the frames I’m most interested in is Jeffs but as they so far have only come in black and brown I didn’t go in search of them.

One of my favourite non JMM glasses is Oliver Peoples Jaye which I think are a similar narrow frame to Jeff if not quite as chunky obvs.

Another of my personal preconditions is that I much prefer engraved and exposed wiring to the three dots. I think my pie in the sky holy grail JMMs would be Jeffs in a dark blue (but not as dark as marine) with silver exposed wiring engraved with some Native American arrow pattern.

Thank you! I quite like three-spur temples on some frames. Nice to switch it up to something a little more understated occasionally.

There are some serious collectors with some serious coin to drop on glasses in there, no doubt.

This is how I feel when my barber said "Your glasses are thick and feel bulletproof"

Man this took me back. Loved Angry Beavers, All That, Rugrats, Kenan & Kel, Hey Arnold, CatDog, Rockos Modern Life, Kablam, Legends of the Hidden Temple, My Brother and Me, Ahhh Real Monsters, Courage the Cowardly Dog….man now I’m the old guy saying “kids these days won’t ever experience how great the 90’s were” but it’s true!

CatDog and Hey Arnold were the ones on that list I watched, classic.

Frankly I don't know a thing about modern cartoons.

I'm glad kids have the options to watch whatever they want, whenever they want with streaming. No more waiting till 10pm to catch some of the good shows.

I watched a couple Hey Arnolds episodes and they are a lot deeper as an adult….and yes the train and the pigeon guy still haunt my dreams haha
