Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

Maybe swapping mine to prescription glasses as well will do some research at my optician

@popvulture thanks buddy. I reached out to my shop where I bought them. I got prescription lenses in mine. Shop is incredible. They said they’d change them to any tint I want for free. Grateful.

As I speak of JMM I have a had full handful of pair.

Yep you’re right some of the JMM lens are crap.

Picture taken do no justice until you try them on.

Luckily Seen has a few JMM lens as customers have taken sunglasses and put in prescription lens.

I had a chance to change a few over.
That get left behind.

The orange colours are the worst and brown lens

fwiw, I think many of the tint colors they do are great and complement the frames well. Living in a place that isnt very sunny for 9mo out of the year, I do love their orange lenses and specifically sought out a frame with them. Helps with with contrast and blocks just enough light, but they are mostly useless on a blue bird sunny day in summer.

Still, the tint darkness of them is a pretty wide ranging complaint or point of contention with many owners (checkout styleforum's thread on jmm) since most folks are buying sunglasses for the sunnier places they live. Definitely, 3 of the 4 pair I own were not dark enough for a "real sunglass" tint imo. The only ones that are good enough are the agar dealan's with their "Sienna" lens which is sort of a dark reddish brown.

@Heavy_blue Love the look of those! I find some of the JMM frames a bit too loud but the one you’re wearing is just modest enough. The purple glasses are phenomenal.

@weftyarn thanks mate! Really appreciate

[popvulture]

@pechelman looking back at the receipt, it came out to $110. They were pretty basic lenses though — I wouldn't call myself a glass connoisseur in the slightest. But yep, dark green CR39, no prescription, no polarization. Maybe I haven't tried enough polarized lenses, but I've never really been much of a fan. I know loads of peeps adore em.

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture I use polarized lenses when I’m fishing. Haven’t found they make much difference otherwise. My smiths handle that job quite well.

@pechelman said in Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…:

Just sent away a pair of taos in hickory to be fitted with the Zeiss version of this lens and can follow up if anyone finds interest in this.

At the expense of committing a faux pas and quoting my own post, it seemed to be reasonable to do so for the ease of side-by-side comparison. Tried to duplicate these photos with the taos and zeiss pioneer (green) photochromic lenses.

@Daniel-San nice one

[pechelman]

Burgundy's such an underrated color for them, imo. Nice grab @Daniel-San. And the gradient....so nice on them.

Anyone getting the quentin's with the hammer pins? Looking at you @kasi
