It’s been a minute since a car selfie 😎

Although this frame might not be for you do not discredit the amazing vermillion colorway. I was NOT a fan of this color until I found the perfect frame for me in it. Now I’m obsessed. I have a feeling you’re on the verge of really enjoying the color you just need a better frame model to suit u.

I believe I may have found the ideal Vermillion frame

I've found the ideal Vermillion frame...

GG, but now I'm annoyed. I came across their website last November and bookmarked that Loewy and that GT for purchase later this Spring with my tax refund. I knew they were off the Google grid so I was hoping no one would ever find that little shop. I passed on a GT I held in person at a JMM gallery because I had that GT in Canada already bookmarked. I even contacted the shop on Boxing Day to see if they had any holiday discounts. Unfortunately not.

But congrats to the two who grabbed those frames! Ugh for me; lesson learned 😅

You’re a class act to congratulate the couple of fellers who purchased the frames you were birddogging. Not many people would.

Noticeably better than the Vicious. They look like the Ascari x Maxfield. Not a colour I like but if you do, have fun!

Suits you well, looks like the Walker in Rover.

Sorry for you, but if you see a frame you like, especially a discontinued one, you have to be quick.

Ah! I apologize!

They are really nice people at G! Have not been in too long. I shifted funds to watches a couple of years ago, but constantly am checking their store now to see stock. More recently seeing if the Leclair pops up.

Any of you buy the Ari? Another classic I was close to buying from them a couple years ago, but opted against.

Yes, I did, this was my lucky day. I was chasing them a long time, I had seen some on Grailed at horrendous prices, and couldn't trust my eyes as I saw them on that webshop, together with the Loewy Marigold. And I also had to justify the salty shipping costs.

Procured my first pair of JMM—Herbie (RX) in argyle. Taking them to my optometrist tomorrow to get transition lenses put in. What color should I go with?

I would go for purple lenses.

Mike Nouveau gave this thread a shout out when he was discussing JMM on this week's episode of Throwing fits. Seems like this community is famous!

Yes I was wondering about the shipping costs. Im unfortunately not surprised they are very high. The business I am at does very large volume with UPS (in our case) and the annual shipping costs- even at the highest volume breaks negotiated- are mind blowing to me.

These two frames are amazing. The Ari I particularly liked. When JMM prices were lower, I ended up opting for the Clyde from the JMM website instead of the Ari. Clyde in Agar: $625 USD (~$820ish CDN). The Ari price was the same today as it was in 2022 in-store at G when I waffled over them.

I really dug xtra-active brown. It makes for a tonal look. It looks like a true brown.

They'll change behind the wheel though, and behind windows inside.

I tried out emerald green transitions and was disappointed. Feels more like a dingy grey-green, not different enough from the graphite green.

I have several photochromic lenses from Essilor and Zeiss. They all look brown or black except for Zeiss photofusion blue. That’s a real friggin blue.

either blue or purple as already mentioned so that it works with your complexion and hair.
