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

[FlyingHorker]

@FlyingHorker , I bet you could pull off the Standifords. Do they have them at the shop nearby, you could try out?

No idea, I'd have to look into it. These look very similiar to the Aldo's I tried, and I've been told these look nice on me.

Doesn't mean as much unless I try them with the lenses taken out since I'm looking for opticals.

Spoiler: Aldo

Seems like ultra chunky rectangular frames are what have been recommended to me, and are different enough to the Dealans. Duly noted, thank you.

Looks like me and you have similar skin tones. Man you’re missing out on some nice frames. I’m naturally tan but get darker in the sun and some gold frames with green lenses pop nicely. In fact I think the glacier colorway look great on darker skin. I hear you on the acetate though hard to get into the titanium frames as they are like JMMs b side and I thought like that until I tried my all time favorites the Beauregards. The Cortina in titanium are great too. They have a douchy Cazal feel but that makes them even better!
I think you’d look straight from Miami with some Cortinas (compliment ha) and would look ace

Ahhh, I see what you mean now. I agree that gold/tan glasses with green lenses look great.

I was going for that with my camel Schindlers and emerald transitions trying to copy the VT Ascari look. It didn't turn out well because most transitions don't have rich, saturated colouring.

Problem with wearing Cortinas as opticals, and other metal aviators, is the end result looks like this.

Definitely not a look I'm going for. Those rich green lenses are key in nailing it.

Glacier is a pretty sick colourway, and I can see myself wearing that during the summer time with camp collar shirts.

Any examples you have photos of? I really love the Sartet but I always like to see at least a few on face photos, lest I have to deal with JMM's return department.



A number of images of upcoming frames that look really good.

Looks like there is a Duke with acetate arms on the shelf that’s something I’d be interested in

Have you tried the GOAT? Try a titanium frame

The only thing keeping me from purchasing the Beauregard at my local shop is that I just know this color way will show up on the secondary market right after I do. They say this is a 50’s frame but other than the Ray-Ban Olympian idk what it’s referencing. JMM knocked it out of the park with these.

I created this joke but if what you’re looking for is glasses then yeah bro titanium is a no go, you’re much better off with acetate to not look like you just came off a Netflix murder special as I like to say….haha

I have any and every site you can think of that sells JMM saved and regularly check them for some models im looking for and I think there’s maybe one that is selling Beaus at the moment and def not the Altan color way. Out of all the JMM models that have come through my hands it’s hands down my favorite…simple easy to wear with anything and just plain cool

I find this colorway interesting, didn't show up on the website yet.
Kind of Noir but with red as base.

This is Burgundy, one of the two translucent dark reds. This one blends into tortoise/havana; the other, Crimson, blends to clear on the inner temples and ear stems; neither have exposed wire cores.

**** I like this one too

I knew I had selfies of a Burgundy Yves. Taken a few months ago; Burgundy is subtle in a lot of light, but at the right angle, it's radiant!

Man I really that the frames that don’t expose the wires on the outside but on the inside

Beauregards are indeed one of the masterpieces of JMM’s titan frames!
I think also a beautiful and maybe more conservative frame in the same style is the Scarpa, which I also love!

The Altan Scarpa was the frame that caught my eye from JMM funny enough…as you can tell I really like the Altan colorway on non acetate frames

 

[RegisDB9]

I find the Marbot to be a work of art. Anyone have those?

 

[RegisDB9]

Whoever said the Ashcroft was a continuation of the Jeffs was correct. I’m putting one down in Ocre. Looks like my type of frame. Not the most exciting, but very easy

Yeah I think we're on the same page now. The other problem with thinner frames is my lenses are thick coke bottles that protrude out of the frame.

Even tinted aviators were apparently not spared from 1970's serial killers. "The Serpent" on Netflix appears to have some nice shades for their cast.
