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

[DorianGreen]

I have the normal size Molinos, and also have a pair of Enzos.
They both fit me perfectly.
I tried on a pair of Yves, and they were comically big on me.

Same for me, I also have Molino (regular) and Enzo, and even larger frames as Hemmings and Kobo, but as I tried the Yves on, it looked oddly huge, maybe the only model I felt I couldn't pull off.

The problem with JMM isn’t just limited to the wire core, which is often misaligned with the acetate temple arms... In my humble opinion, the more serious issue is that the temples frequently drift out of alignment (for example, the right temple may have a greater angle compared to the left one, or vice versa).

Whenever I order a Enzo/Torino or a Molino frame online, I always order three pairs of the same glasses (MrPorter thank you for your patience!) so I can choose the best one and return the other two. Yes, it’s come to this.
By ordering 2-3 pairs of the same glasses, I can confirm that some frames are completely bent and misaligned, while others are perfectly straight down to the millimeter.

Interesting strategy, unfortunately not practicable in most cases.

And what you stated confirms the massive quality control issues at JMM.

As mentioned a few pages back, I've been awaiting the new T Henri Sian in Brigade colorway. Well here they are and first impressions are positive. For sure there's a fusion of Enzo and Sterett in the frame design. The wirecore is symmetrical to the temples (tick) and beautifully machined. They are chunky like Enzo however the weight isn't overwhelmingly heavy. I wore them for an entire day and whilst I could feel a little soreness on the ears, that will subside over time. Due to my small >> medium sized bonse, I'll need to get the temples adjusted inwards behind the ears as they don't quite sit snug on my nose. The colorway and gradient lenses are simply stunning. Overall, I'm very satisfied with these for now.

What is the width of the front?!
Is it comparable to a Molino or Molino55?
Tnx

I felt the hemmings looked way bigger than yves on me, that's the only one that fit I ever returned.

It's also a matter of shape besides size. The Yves with its thinner, curved rim looks wider. Furthermore the shape of your face plays a role too.

Thank you very much for the precise measurements. Considering the 52mm lens, I thought (and hoped) it would be larger. It still looks great on you, though

Yes these look great @Facultyofzen - size, shape, fit ….very Fellini-esque.
Maybe it won’t do any harm for JMM to have some stiff competition? Get them to tighten up their QC and stop with the ever more rapid price increases?

PS - car selfies! Woohoo!😎😀

Curious if anyone here has a pair of Zephirin's in Dahlia & Pearl willing to post a photo of each?
Have a pair on the way. I'm thinking they're Dahlia but can't determine much by the photos used.
I know the Dahlia have more of a pink-ish hue to them, as where the pearl appears to have more of a beige hue. just unsure. They will be arriving this week (hopefully) sometime & will post photo(s) once they arrive.

Despite the 52mm lens being the same width as Enzo, the lens shape is different and less boxy (much like the Sterett) so the number is somewhat misleading due to the widest measuring point. Also, the 4mm narrower bridge makes this frame's fit closer to the Fellini.
