The Combi Boston is so Nice but due to the fact that it is made for Japan probably half the Size of my Basketball Head
Gucci and the Swiss Label Viu now do very nice Eyeglasses Made in Japan, does anybody know who makes them, is there a Company in Japan that is known for such CoProductions ?

So my venerable Ray Bans died today after 12 years of distinguished service. Now I'm searching for replacements. I am not excited about the search, which is made harder by the fact that I have the same size head as an average 10 year old.

There is a Japanese company that makes a lot of the frames there, but I can't remember its name. I think that it's something like Matsuko, but could be wrong.
Dita produce the Thom Browne frames, and might do others.

recently got some replacement lenses from these guys for my von zipper elmores
https://www.revantoptics.com/
i went with the elite polarized in brown to go with the tortoise shell frames
now these lenses aren't as nice as the polarized lenses i got direct from von zipper in another pair i have, but they are damn close
so if you're in the market for replacement lenses revant optics has a WIDE variety and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to you guys
also their packaging is on point
the lenses come with a little case and a little baggy thats divided for the lenses -
I picked up these Garrett Leight x Thierry Lasry No. 3 sunglasses when yet another pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers broke. The last pair broke when I was cleaning them. That was the last straw for me and so I decided to just go for it and buy quality.

I kinda like those.

i've gone through some of the back pages and saw jacques marie mage being mention. i'm wondering who has any, if so what (optical or sunnies) and care to share their opinion. looking to replace my max pittion which broke.
i've gone down to a store and seen a few models. they look pretty well built and really keen on pulling the trigger but i'd love to hear some thoughts first. also, if there's any other worthy brands, please mention..

I have two pairs of JMM from both their Made In Japan Heritage collection as well as their Made In Japan Optical - the Apache in Carbon and the Wyatt in Allan. Both have unbelievable construction and attention to detail, from the epoxy tipped arms to the acetate lining of the lenses.
To be completely honest with you, I don’t see myself buying any other brand. The proportions of everything I’ve tried on from them are perfect for my face/head size and the materials are top notch. I suggest if you can, looking at their Heritage collection as well as their standard Optical line.

@louisbosco, Henderson's Opticians in Melbourne have recently started stocking JMM. I'll point them out next time you're over.
I don't have a pair, but I'd agree with @bxh that they're well made. The metal frames, which I was looking at, feel a bit chunkier than some of the other makes. They maybe come up a bit larger than some of the Japanese brands, so it'll be a case of seeing what fits you.
I do like them, and I am tempted by a pair.
