If anyone needs a great optician/optical shoppe, I had my consultation with The Spectacle Factory yesterday. Robert spent over an hour discussing everything, talking about style, and truly looks for great options. They have combos I couldnt even request here. Remarkable guy who really cares about the clients.

I was super frustrated with options I was getting locally. There is a place in West LA that has a billion 5 star reviews and I went in, where they promptly had me running for the exit. Ha. Even domestic places that came highly regarded either wont work on frames they don't sell or the pricing was astronomical.

They are in the UK but with UPS I found the shipping time and cost wasn't too bad. Should be there in 2-3 days from LA.

I've been following the YouTube channel they have for some time, and love the coatings and euro products they have because they are much harder to come by in the states. Most places only carry Transitions and if they do the colors are more limited.

Link for the curious

I know a lot of you out there wont entrust JMM frames to just anyone.
I am obsessed with the Spectacle factory. Robert seems extraordinarily knowledgeable. I’d like to try to use their services, but I am in the Midwestern United States, and I’m a bit leery about going through the time and expense of ordering high-end custom lenses when they can’t take my exact measurements in person. How did they go about getting the appropriate measurements for your frames and prescription?

Belize and torino fit similar heads (mine), Enzo does not.

Enzo may be oversized for some, but if you're in that camp, belize/torino/Molino 55 will be too large on you, imo

Yeah. I can take a photo with Belize, torino, and Enzo, if you want. I don't have molino

Man I’m loving the Cortina Agar Dealan. Really like that it doesn’t have the arrows on the front

Speaking of Belize; if anyone here is considering unloading their Belize, I's be more than happy to add them to my collection. The Enzo's seems "normal" sized on my face...

@intensanity is selling his pair.

They are also being sporadically re-stocked at various retailers, including directly from jmm
