Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

Thanks, Paul.
The Torino's I've tried on looked good but like the Molinos felt a little boring perhaps? Been trying to find a set of Yves to try without any luck. Will keep trying.
Enzo looks ok as well, but maybe a little small/narrow compared to the Dealan 53's in my pocket which are still far and away my favorite. The Taos felt a bit narrow to me as well, but could definitely be adjusted to fit more comfortably but seem to present larger maybe b/c the lenses stay wide top to bottom.

@pechelman I was the "someone else," bought my wife that very colorway of Anita

Have you tried the Kane, Plaza or Fellini

Not yet, no luck finding those either. I sort of have the suspicion the Fellini will be another looks just OK compared to how the Enzo's fit. Kaine is also on my list to try.

ah, of course! Thanks for the reminder; hard to keep track among all the pages.
Did you ever try them yourself? -
I did–I like them and love the lenses, but I found the wide temple to not really suit me.
I was actually looking at Dealans in Cameo (pink frame with red lenses) for her and I thought I could get away with those from time to time

Enzo would also be a good pick for you!
I know what you mean on the Molinos. It's not an exotic frame. That said, JMM took a tried and true design and dipped it into 5lbs of acetate and had Japanese craftsmen chisel away all but the best. I think we're all on these forums because we appreciate how the Japanese artist/craftman can take something ordinary and make it extraordinary

Absolutely agree on quality and craftsmanship. And I meant no disrespect over the molinos. If it says anything, a pair of Rx's I got before I knew anything about jmm appear to be very similar to those, so I definitely like that style, but for me, it lacks the something special on some others that speaks to me with jmm.
Right now my only thought with adding another pair is to prepare for the grey and rainy long winters here with a lighter lens, maybe also with a more unique color frame as well, perhaps in something clear or translucent like those Anita's or something like that cameo noted below.

The new matte-finish Yellowstone 3 color in the julien is really giving me an itch. https://www.jacquesmariemage.com/shop/product/julien-x-yellowstone-iii Not an itch I can scratch, but if these come later secondhand I’d be all over it.

I'm probably not helping but I can totally imagine those looking amazing on you

The Torino YIII are the first polarized lenses I’ve seen on JMMs (and also otherwise stunning).
