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

[MícheálfromCDM]

I'm interested in automotive interiors, and the Jacques Marie Mage thread gives me the best survey of what other people are doing.

Hey, don’t knock groovy automotive interiors.

That looks like the setting for the next JMM lookbook

And a new color frame.

Seed already looks like that interior

Yea, but this one will be a slightly different shade of yellow.

I'm the opposite of people who only post in this thread, I guess. When I started to read this thread, I thought it was completely ridiculous to spend this kind of $ on sunglasses/opticals. Now I'm calling my local stocklists trying to get an appt. to look at them in person.
It's the arrows, really. Everytime someone tries to guess how much you paid for your sunnies, you can just keep pointing to the up arrows.

Got to add the slight tiger stripe detailing in the acetate.

Since I’ve just dipped my feet in the water with JMM, I’m definitely leaning towards the Fellinis. Sales rep said Molinos were a best seller and a good first frame but they didn’t do much for me. Personally thought the Fellinis were a step beyond the Molinos and packed more of a punch





I liked the Rover Enzo but wasn’t quite sure if I could pull off the size. Glad it got the stamp from some of y’all. Definitely my favorite out of the larger frames to look at (closely followed by the Taos)

Also I appreciate the advice/comment about proportions. It’s a great suggestion and definitely something I’ll have to give a shot at soon. The way the rest of my outfit interacts could push the boundaries of what eyewear I can get away with.

Which shop in FL were you at?

Which shop in FL were you at?

EB on Las Olas. Not a big selection but they had a some interesting colors (Rover, Platinum, Hickory) as well a few more frames (Enzo, Taos, Torino) that I did not see when first visited last month. Still mostly frames like Dealan & Molino in Noir and Havana variations. Would've been cool to see what Royal or EBs supposed exclusive Marine 2 is like.

Stopped by 1269 in Miami yesterday which had a few more models and colors.

I’ve mentioned this before but this time I wanted to share some photos. Polywatch and a microfiber cloth is great for getting out those surface scratches and scuffs. I’ve been wearing my hickory Sturges a lot for the past month (honestly high up there on my favorite shapes) and when setting them down the bottoms get scuffed up. This is from only a minute of buffing.

check your frames: because many of the online shops also double as in-person optical stores, you’ll often get JMMs that have been sitting in a case or handled a lot. I’ve gotten plenty of frames with scuffing on the bottom/arms and this cleans them right up and restores the shine. It will not help with gouges.

Yeah I’ve been to that shop.
JMM collections are always a bit hit or miss in the shops. Try also EB In Glades Mall and Aventura Mall. There’s another independent in Aventura Mall about halfway up to EB on the left called Designer Eyes that has a few JMM in too.

I’ve said on here before … I was really excited by the EB X JMM in Royal and managed to try a pair on but the alleged ‘Royal’ blue is barely distinguishable from black so it was a hard pass from me. Very disappointed. Same for the ‘marine’ colour and another - was it ISS or something? - they’re all very dark navy - almost black.

Joining the party, decided to walk in both sides of the street with the ichigawa in Havana and Clark in noir - opposite vibes but love them both. Optical lenses in both - next stop - sunglasses!

I think the Clarks look great on you.

Thanks man! I know the ichigawa likely look too big but that’s why I had to have them ?
