Thanks guys. Today I also got my pair of hickory Taos (finally, after 3 weeks due to customs), and I love them but the darker colour definitely makes them wear bigger.

This is strange as I was just thinking about you today on a long drive from Tampa to Ocala. For some reason I sometimes get you conflated with Easily Amused (both have enviable collections) and momentarily forgot your user name and was hoping you were OK as hadn’t seen you post in a while. Thanks for checking in - lookin’ good as per!

I will choose to consider my mild concern for a complete stranger / virtual pal as a positive aspect of the SF JMM community here, and not me being weird at all!!😁

Many thanks everyone for the feedback and the kind words.

Here's a pic of me in the hickory Taos (spoiler below), this shows how darker colours can make the glasses wear bigger than the lighter ones, hopefully they're still "JMM big" rather than "too big". I'm stoked, I fell in love with hickory after seeing the Hemmings (which are waaaaay too big), and none of the other current models available in that colour spoke to me (Vendomes were close but I prefer square/rectangular shapes). By mere chance I found that Durant Sessions in Vancouver had a pair, I thought these, just like hickory Fellinis, Dealans and other classic models would be long gone.

Also, bonus pics of the rest of my collection: argyle Dealans (with custom light brown lenses), noir 7 Fellini (with photochromic lenses), and beluga Plaza (I'll prob. put some amber lenses in these).

Also thinking of very light brown lenses for the hickory Taos. As I say it was the Hemmings that made me get interested in hickory in the first place.
