Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

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).

Those are sweet, @hajduk !

Several (maybe all) of the previous Yellowstone glasses were also polarized mineral glass instead of CR39.

I got some frameless MJ cr39 recently and they’re so good. My normal go-to MJ are a similar bronze HCL with a blue gradient from the top of the lens. That said, the bronze lenses in my JMM are close aside from lacking polarization to those lenses. As I’ve said before the lens color is clearly considered as a part of the colorway in somewhat of a fashion-first ethos on JMM IMO, where that’s also true of MJ to a degree, performance is the biggest driver there to me.

The super-thin glass is my go to. The polarization makes everything look a lot more vibrant. It's hard to imagine before putting them on.

@Daniel San after having the Volvox for a little while, how do you like those lenses? I've been thinking about picking up some Dealans in that color but wonder if they'll filter out enough sun for me. I like the lighter lens look but think I maybe prefer darker from a functionality standpoint.
What I really want is for them to reissue the Dealans in Shadow. Classic black w/green lenses, exposed cores. Someday.

@popvulture
I love the olive lenses but I mostly wear the volvox on more cloudy days like the other JMM I have with lighter lenses.
When it’s very sunny I prefer the Taos with the darker lenses ( called tropic, they are dark red)
But of course it’s very subjective, maybe the olive lenses are ok for you .
The Taos Glass and the Eggshell with the green lenses are ok for sunny days too !
The Taos Tempest, Hickory and Volvox are my choice for cloudy days with little sun. And of course the Walker Rootbeer and the Argyle .
Hope this helps you! -
Thanks, man — it definitely helps! I'm itchy to buy a new pair, but think I'm just going to wait until my ideal pair of Dealans pops up. Doesn't have to be green lenses, but I'd love a Shadow. Main prefs are black or dark transparent, exposed cores, darker lenses. We'll see

Decided to pass on the Anitas. Thought they were pretty similar to some other things and still not sure how I felt about the larger temples. Went back to the local shop for the wife to try on a few things and had a chance to try on Yves that they had on hand.
At the time we all thought they looked good, but in photos after the fact maybe too big? Not a fan of this exact frame/lens color combo but just for fit. Do really like the overall style of this frame though.
Also, has anyone ordered from jmm directly? Curious how fast they may or may not ship.

@pechelman The Yves can appear comically huge at first, especially if you're coming from smaller frames. I remember thinking that mine looked like those novelty party glasses at first. But now I'm used to them and I absolutely love them. They look really cool, they're very comfortable, and they give you a lot of lens coverage. And I think that they suit you really well. They do not look too big on you. I'd say they look perfect.
Which color are you wearing up there? I have them in noir (black frames, orange lenses) and they're one of my favorites. I was tempted to pick up the black frame/blue lens that just re-released.

My wife bought me some Molinos from JMM and I think they left their shop within 2 days.
