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

[Roctopuss]

Thanks everyone! BTW these (Kaine in Hickory) are for sale at Jackson Davenport in downtown Charleston for like $650, if anyone's been looking for them.

Max Pittion vs. JMM in terms of build quality?

 

[RowdyT]

Best way to clean frames for resale? Mild scuffs, etc. Is there a market for lightly used JMMs?

@intensanity These look great man.
What are the details though?

Thank you!

Pretty straightforward:

Frame - Lava Taos
Lenses - asked JMM Venice to match the lenses on the Lava P.C.H.

Polywatch and a clean rag for surface scuffs. Deeper scratches/gouges might be able to be buffed by a professional. Definitely a market for used frames.

With a number of the acetate frames, I recently picked up the Jaggers for a good price and have to say I'm a big fan. I was concerned they'd be too delicate, but they're super light, very comfortable, and a great fit. Sure you have to be careful with them, but I'm that way with my other frames anyway. Although I don't think they're $1,000 good. There's definitely room in the collection for both the chunky acetate and titanium. I'm tempted to pick up the 1962s as well. They're really similar, but probably distinct enough to justify (at least to myself).

Nice! What color did you pick up for the Jagger?

The 1962 is probably my favorite JMM design, don't have the funds for it right now but it looks so unique and badass at the same time. Would make a great companion to your Jagger!

I agree about branching out from acetate to metal. The Jaggers aren’t for me but I have titanium Comanche and they are very cool.

The Ursa. Love the purplish blue gradient.

A little case study on what dropping 5lbs, a lens, and proper adjustment can do.

Jonathen at Gogosha Optique fit the frame’s bridge to sit lower on my nose. I think that minute adjustment helped the frame accommodate more of the cheekbone space

Any of you guys have experience with Atelier Mira in Brooklyn? They seem to one of the few that still have the Belize in stock for MSRP. Thanks!

 

[intensanity]

Purchased from them in person. Lovely experience.

I’ve worked with them before. They were great!
