Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…
-
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
-
@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.
-
@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.

Now you can get the Jacques Marie Mage Cash to match your Iron Heart shirt...

new Taos for me , burgundy No 150/350

@Daniel-San nice one

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
