Mornin' Gang,
Has anyone ordered from Clothbase.com?
Are they legit?

I think they just have links to the actual stores and they don’t sell anything themselves?

Ah! Yep, I did some clicking around and that's exactly right.
Thanks for responding!

Quick shout out to @JessBob for tipping me off to these Dealans I just scored off eBay.

I’ll sort some on the face pics once I decide what outfits will match up. As these are from the early releases and predate my discovery of JMM I’d be curious to know what the official colour name was for these. I’ve seen a couple of ‘maraschino’ frames which look very similar, and they used ‘Marlboro’ for a similar Molino 55 Diamond Cross version. Were these Maraschino?

Incidentally when you do a search on “Dealan Red” these come up too with grey lenses:

This pick has a whiff of fake about it. I couldn’t find a pic with the tell-tale grey marble JMM background and the colour just looks a bit cheap, not the rich deep translucent red of the above pair. Anyone remember these?

Funny how life so often makes a liar out of you. I once imposed a rule on myself that I wouldn’t repeat colours or frames. When my lapis Dealans are eventually delivered that will be my eighth pair of Dealans and I’ll now have similar blues (along with my cobalt Herbies) and two red Dealans with the above pair and my vermillion Otticas. I think I’ll hang on to all for the present then reevaluate down the road some time to see if any are unused and gathering dust.

Aaaand it's now confirmed, my "Wolf 21" aka Ascari order has ben cancelled and a refund issued.

Few things:

• I've no idea whether more than 50 units were sold or whether actually fewer than 50 were made or didn't pass QA
• After my (and presumably others) cancellations the site shows it as available again, I've let them know
• In similar **** ups from other brands I've usually got some sort of discount for the next purchase, but not with JMM

So what's this T Henri brand you're talking about? A Taycan maybe?

I’m telling you they’ve outsourced their distribution to Archibald!

In!

Looks like they even care enough to align the wire core properly
