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

[MickeyPunch]

Good morning,
Any news about the Milano galllery opening?

JMM insta account says it’s open now.

Recently tried on a JMM-like frame, the Godard from Corner (<orner) Eyewear. Made in Sabae Japan. Supposedly crafted in the same factory as JMM but who really knows, I think most of Japanese-made glasses come from Sabae? Great quality for the price. Paid around $300 US. Still not quite JMM but pretty close. Color is olive, a variation of the JMM Rover. They have nosepads which I haven’t worn in a long time. Going to put photochromic/transition lenses in and give them a try.

Nice color...

Are you in Japan, or did you use a proxy service?

These look good although emphasizing my beef with rover that it looks almost black in some light like your on the face pic. What do you reckon - closest in style to a Jeff?

 

[ColdinMN]

I think so. Here’s a pic of me in the new frame and my Jeff Argyle for comparison.

Yeah pretty close maybe the Corner a bit thicker on the frame. Took a Quick Look at their website but it’s a nightmare for a gaijin!

For sure a little risk involved. I reached out directly to Corner to inquire about purchasing a frame. They recommended the linked site. Would like to try on Julius Tart frames as well, but not sure they ship to the US.

It looks good, the frame and the fit. To me the colour is more similar to Army or Volvox rather than Rover.

Both look very good, the Jeff "softer" and more classic, the new frame thicker and bolder.

This is pretty ridiculous: I really can't see any use in a normal context. Maybe something for skiers or bikers.

Completely outrageous! If I ever saw anyone wearing those I'd find it very difficult to not explode into laughter.

I bet you there’s a few on the WAYWT thread who would wear them. And a few more who would give them ‘likes’ too!
But I’d be over there with you laughing my arse off at the emperor’s new clothes.
