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

Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment.

I charge it to the game though, it's bound to happen to everyone if they're in the game long enough.

But again, my biggest warning here is that Grailed has 0 support when the transaction goes sideways. They just say to contact PayPal.

Sounds very similar to my experience. Grailed is brutal especially since the cut they take.

Yeah, the cut is only for using the platform, the fee absolutely does not include any kind of practical protection or coverage.

Do you have 10 Enzos?

I think you know the answer to this 😂

Converted my Jax to opticals and happy with the look, but man they are killing my ears. The arms are wide enough, but wondering if I should get them bent a little at the ends. Maybe this is just the reality of a heavy acetate pair of glasses.

I did that and it helped for sure. Still heavy though.

Small JMM rant.
I really regret that they don't offer thick but a bit smaller size frames. I find it off the proportion suitable for specific models and too big for 80% of the people. For example: Kellerman, kendall roy frames, and similar would be better if they had smaller sized lenses so they fit more inside the face. I find it big even for kendall himself. I guess it's "modern" take on old vintage models so they added a few milimeters - just like the "slightly" bigger watch trend. Like 36mm vs 40mm rolexes.

I think Oliver Peoples nailed the size with this model (see photo). Similar to JMM Jeff, but that model looks "small" only on Jeff himself haha.

As stated many times on here, I really like the size of Jeffs (and Ashcrofts) but don’t have any yet. Before I was infected with the JMM virus I got Oliver Peoples ‘Jaye’ in ‘Bordeaux Bark’. Very similar to those in the pic you just posted above. Really nice shades although I wish the colour was more red as shown in the website pics, as IRL they are almost black.

Nice. Those are similar to the glasses Dylan wore that inspired Dealan which is bigger of course

Yeah and as I told my cyber pal Matt of Bondsuits, similar to those worn by Connery in Thunderball.

Speaking of the Ashcrofts how long does it take to make them…I hate “pre-ordering” just put up when it’s ready to ship

Especially when they charge your card for the entire amount while you wait a couple of months. Whack.

In my opinion the most JMM models have a reasonable size, yet being bold and distinctive. Especially the "classics" (Dealan, Molino, Fellini) are rather restrained and well proportioned. Moreover there are some models, especially opticals, that are quite small, like Devaux, Zephirin, Henri, Insley, Kellermann and others.
If you prefer really small glasses, probably you would better look at other brands.

It's a way to collect funds for JMM, and to go sure you get the model for the buyer. I have used it for two models and it doesn't bother me. Of course nobody is forcing you, free to refuse it.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Oh damn. I didn’t know you could refuse it. I thought you had to pre order it or else.

 

[DorianGreen]

It's an option, take or leave. I used it. No need to blame.
