Looks like Lava.

Those Rawlins are a dream. I have yet to see a face I didn't like them on.

Thanks. It may be that these are my holy grail JMMs and I have to admit I’ve been either yawning or replulsed by all the new releases I’ve seen since I got these. 😎😁.

I tried on the surplus in the shop and was convinced by the shape and how they fit but didn’t like the gold hardware. Shout out again to Nicola at Salle Opticians in Phipps Mall ATL who hooked me up with the black pair. Mine have a small amount of slippage so I’ll take them to my local shop along with my Dealans which fit rock solid and get them adjusted to fit similarly.

As for the Leisure Society - feel really solid and very light at the same time. Spring hinges make the fit perfect. Love the shape - sorta metal version of wayfarer-ish style, very versatile with both formal and casual threads, and I tried to capture it in the pic without much success but the lenses are that ‘robotic’ flat uncurved style which are very cool’

I tried on the Sebergs some time ago and was surprised how much I liked them. Love the true bottle green lenses like looking through a bottle of Gordon’s gin!

First of two new arrivals showed up today - Yves in Empire. The other should be arriving tomorrow, fingers crossed. View attachment 1779304

Yves are one of my favorite frames , I need to buy a few more pairs.

I bought my first pair (Fellini) online and was lucky that they worked on me. That was before I realized I had a great JMM retailer (Black Optical) in my city. I've bought the rest of my frames there, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another online, especially if it's a frame I already have in a different colorway. Also if I ever find a sand Ichikawa online for a reasonable price I will be hitting that buy button faster than Clint Eastwood with an itchy trigger finger.

Me too, but completely missed out on them when they came out. I got these second-hand on eBay last week. The previous owner had rx lenses, so the factory lenses are pretty much immaculate. Very happy with them.

Also, what do ya'll think of the sandro's? Considering keeping but obsessed with the hornet variations.

Hornet is a cool colorway, but I'm not a huge fan of the frame.

Looking for the Jax in Rover, possibly the Ichikawa in Sand or Havana.

Going to make them rx so either sunglasses or optical rx is fine.

Plaza in Marquina.

They're definitely lighter and less imposing than the Fellini, and I'd say the same for the Molino 51, although it's been a minute since I tried them.

Yeah those are good…. i need to jump on this train

That is a good fit. Did you move on from the Fellinis?

My first foray into JMM - Baudelaire 2 in Lunar Matte Black / Tortoise

I always thought Sandro are a tough frame. I’ve thrown out that they are up for trade, and while waiting for an offer I’ve been wearing them. Turns out they’re not bad with the original sunny lenses. Terrible as opticals on my big dome.

 

[bry2000]

Very nice. I have been tempted by the Baudelaire 2 and Apollinaire 2. But I have to stop. (Responding to @faue ’s post).

I appreciate this picture. There’s not many real world photos of the Sandro. Currently deciding between Sandro in Hickory or Walker in Argyle.

Thanks, G.

I haven't moved on. After trying to offload them last year they've become one of my favorite pair.
