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

I can't handle it. Makes me eyes water if the glasses are in the case and it's been blasted. I got a pair of the 1980 with the gradient lenses and the book was spritzed. Exchanged for the light blue lenses and the replacement had the case soaked. Kicking myself for not waiting to send back the first pair and keeping the not smelly case.

It's definitely the same sent from late 2021 is all I can say.

Any tips other than febreeze (I'm not worried about resale value) or white vinegar to unperfume the hardshell cases?

Yeah, putting fragrance on objects is BS. First, some people are sensitive to fragrance. And even for those that aren't, not 100% of those people are going to like whatever specific single fragrance you choose. Some of us live in tiny-ass apartments, and whatever fragrance you soak a non-washable item is going to permeate the whole place.

I once had a company splash an awful fragrance on a piece of clothing. I've washed that f*cker 7 times and I can still smell it.

From an authorized dealer in Japan... Looks like another price increase is coming in March 🗣

I'm being slightly hyperbolic of course, but it seems like JMM prices have been going up every 2 weeks or something.

Hi all - after your thoughts on the Molino optical size on me please. I’ve had them for a while now and I love the army color, but have never been 100% convinced they’re quite big enough for my large head. Thanks!

Thoughts on where JMM can improve in the future?

This is nitpicking, but there is a circle of glue residue where the temple arm attaches to the frame.

Also, would love to see some kind of "making of" video for how the frames are made.

Where do I start…the glue blob at the end of the arms (no excuse for this), the stupid pin on the left arm they refuse to update on the Dealan, Ascari, Taos…line up the exposed wires in the middle of the arm, all the Enzo’s I bought had the wire crooked and it looked really weird. Lastly I’ve had 3 frames with creaking lenses. Cmon JMM

Size looks good to me.

Got good news for you. Here's a pic of the Dealan in Camel available for pre-order.

Wow, this must be one special Molino...

Finally did you know they used to air brush them out on some models a couple years ago…

With prices going up you can start doing the “big ask” with JMM haha

“Oh I put it at 10k but I’ll let it go for 5k, don’t twist my arm bro!”

I didn't know that. I suppose that's possibly the case here. Guess you'll just have to buy one and find out.

Careful now - maybe they just put the badge and pin on the other side!😁😁

Here’s a great example I kept emailing JMM about (you can see where it was edited out). The thinner wires were better imho too looking back now

That's kind of embarrassing TBH. People love the glasses. Just show the glasses as they are.

I’d be cautious. Look at the photos for the Indigo Dealan. Side view shows the pin but the close up has no pin. Can’t be the same frame.

Or it was edited, as Regis pointed out. Sigh. The pinhole doesn't bother me but not just showing the product as it is kind of does.
