Man, those Eyevan 7285’s have swagger 👍🏻! Also, when you mentioned the JMM Dealan’s were in your prior video I had to go back and take a look - those too, nice! And great with the tinted lenses. The more narrow frames work better for me, so I doubt I could pull off the Dealan’s but they are you! Very Nice collection!
Wondering if the ones with prescription frames have different prescriptions, and how you manage bouncing between them. I'd love to see a video about glasses collecting and how that works: how has your taste evolved? how do you feel about tints? Where do you go for lenses? How do you juggle updating your collection when you get a new prescription? That sort of thing would be great.
Sorry for the lasted response! Most are the same. My prescription hasn't changed. I'll do my best for an updated video. A lot has changed and gotten smaller. I did a lot of individual reviews over the last year
Dope collection mayte, J M Mage is something I will keep an eye out ! I’d def recommend you for Cutler & Gross you will appreciate the make based on this collection! Solid vid ❤
Cartier glasses are $3k now? Makes me feel so old. I've had multiple pairs of Cartier I purchased new for a fraction of that. I think back in the day they were like $700-1200. I remember how difficult it was trying to explain the shape I wanted the rimless lens cut. Not even sure what I did with them maybe tossed them when I was moving before clothing resale was such a thing.
You can purchase them @ 1200 -2k still when you get into the wood & Buffallo horns then your talking foot all numbers. As you mentioned, I remember purchasing my very 1st wood frames from Cartier and @ that time they were 1200 back in 95.
stupid question maybe, but where to you get prescription lenses for sunglasses you have bought elsewhere? My optician generally only make lenses for glasses they have sold
Do you think all Jacques Marie Mage glasses are worth it? Or only certain models? How are their quality/how they are lasting? I found a pair on sale but I have never spent that much on a pair of sunglasses 😅
Nice video bro, graduated from vintage cartiers and buffs to now all my glasses/sunglasses are Chrome hearts (wearing DEEP I as we speak lol) except a couple LV pieces. Just discovered the JMM Enzo, how would you compare the quality of JMM vs Chrome Hearts and also the value for price? One thing you pointed out is that they are heavy, are they more heavier than the Chrome hearts? as CH has a lot of big and heavy acetate frames as well thanks
For me personality I like JMM more. Just bought another pair today. From my understanding the old creative director for chrome started JMM. Regarding quality I would say they are one par. I think JMM I better value for money.
If you are interested in the DEALANI'S, I have a pair that I wore probably twice only bc I have huge collection of frames. Some owners would wear them every day but with my collection I hardly get to put them on. I have the organal packaging as well.
I'm reading the end of your comment. The DEALANI'S are a beautiful pair of fames. I find it hard to believe you would look like nerd in those. The few time I wore them I received compliments galore. Especially those who knows about fashion. When you put them on it screams class & style.
@@scofieldp2352 Thanks for your reply! After writing that comment, I went back to the store and tried on a bunch of JMMs, only this time I wore contact lens. I ended up buying a Dealan and a Fellini ahah. The Fellini is a very hefty frame, so I turned it into prescription sunglasses. What you said about the Dealan is absolutely true, so I chose to make it a clear pair. I would certainly love to get my hands on another pair of Dealan glasses, perhaps a different colour, but I am still a student so I dont reckon its a good financial decision to own 3 JMMs. Expanding my JMM collection is certainly something I dream to achieve tho lol
@MrHani619 I totally agree with the notion of owning a 3rd pair bc they are a bit costly and as a student, i know every penny counts. Down the road, think about giving one of your JMM a slight tint such as a 12-15 % color, it would change the entire dianmic of the frames and how you look in them incomparison to clear lens. Try it and you'll see the huge difference in your confidence when you put them on.
I’m assuming most of your frames a prescription. The ones that are tinted are they prescribed too and if so who do you go to get tinted prescription frames.
@@nickygrubs4877 second hand I could maybe see that price but both my local dealer plus online stockists have no discounts because of how much demand they have
I wonder whether JMM prices have inflated inordinately over the past couple of years. Up until two years ago I purchased many pairs of JMM’s each in the $500 - $575 price range. My recollection is they were pretty much all in that range where I was buying them. Now the same optometrist starts all their JMMs at $800 and up.
hey man - always been interested in JMM - but the price was kind of holding me back as it almost seems way too high to validate - what did you mean by 'value for money'? just a genuine curiosity. do you think they provide like 2x the value of something like a persol or etc.?
For me personally. Yea. That are definitely more expensive but they are also independently owned everything is made in Japan and they have a pretty good resell value. These are most definitely designer glasses so you're paying a premium but after wearing them for a few year I like the resell value and overall look
Can you share the information on any of the buyers you may know. I have pair of DEALANI'S I would like to sell. They are in great condition like new new. Please reach out if you can, thanks!
The chrome hearts glasses will go up in value, the deeps have sold for 3k+ many times on grailed 😎🔥
Good to know!
This channel is so underrated! Keep it up.
Thanks brother! Keep grinding

If you ever want to sell those plucks, absolutely love to get my hands on a pair of these... 😍 Great collection and video!!
I might hit you up sooner than later!
I am your 1,000th subscriber. Congratulations. :)
Thank you!!
Omg, the El Dorado is amazing!!!
One of my favorites! Such a great pair.
I just bought the el dorado by jacques marie mage. Been looking for them for like 2 years
Heck yeah!! Enjoy it!

Cheers, looking forward! @@JamesHerlihy
I love ysl shades but my next pair will be Jacques Marie Mage!
you'll love them!
If your fiance has the same taste as you for the glasses, it would be cool to see her collection!
That's a great idea! She's has a few pairs not as many as me but some cool stuff.
Dope collection mayte, J M Mage is something I will keep an eye out ! I’d def recommend you for Cutler & Gross you will appreciate the make based on this collection! Solid vid ❤
Love there stuff I want a pair of the glasses they wore in kings men. Appreciate the love!
@@JamesHerlihy absolutely, dropping a vid soon inspired by yours!! Mine is smaller collection but those J M Mage is 🔥!!! Keep rocking bruh
Appreciate the love
I recommend reykjavikeyes if you want the most comfortable glasses
I’ll check them out, thank you for the insight!
Jacques Marie Mage are very heavy glasses. It’s a pain. Great point to identify.
Thank you!
As long as the weight at the nose bridge of the frame is less than the weight at the ears.
It won’t feel heavy
Have custom nose pads added to you acetate frames.
Good call!
needed this thanks a lot
For sure!
You can ask them to cut the shape bigger!
That’s funny you said that I just sent in the store and they said bring them in and they would fix it.

I’m pretty sure the regular ones are around 1800 but the buffalo are much more expensive

I haven't had that problem but I could totally understand why they wouldn't want to. If they break the frames they are responsible.
Great video! Another brand I like is Dita.
Rita makes great stuff. I believe luxottica I just bought them now
nooooo@@JamesHerlihy
Do you think all Jacques Marie Mage glasses are worth it? Or only certain models? How are their quality/how they are lasting?

I think all of them are great. Do I think you can probably get better glasses for less maybe. But I like the style and the story.

The cartier equivalent of your rimless chrome hearts are only $1600-2000 my guy ;)
Good to know. I was looking at the buffalo. Maybe I need to do more research next time 😂😂
@@JamesHerlihy yup Buffalo is def 3-4K. Wood is slightly less. Acetate and metal are 1600-2k
wait the deep are 1800? i was quoted 3k from an optometrist, those are wood and yours aren't so i wonder if thats' the difference.
Yeah I believe the mood are 2800 at the time I purchased. I'm sure they have both gone up
Would love to know the name of the Cartier pair. Looks beautiful!!
Great collection btw.
Let me look into it. I honestly haven't gotten around to adding lenses in
Hey i have the jmm zephi. What's the name of the jmm with the clip i'm looking at getting a second pair of jmm.
I believe they're just called clip on. Honestly I'm not sure the name
How do you get the chrome heart glasses I’ve been looking
There’s a few stores that sell them in Chicago i check there.
SO DO YOU BUYY THROUGH YOU R EYE GLASSES SHOP TO GET THEM IN YOU PRESCRIPTION ? GOTTA FIND OUT
Yeah I use my flex spending and have prescriptions put in wear them for a few years then sell them once I’m done.
Missing Cutler and Gross from your collection!
I would love a pair. Someday!
Hey dude can you do one video for Jacques Marie Mage Scrapa?
I’ll do my best!
Preparing to get my first JMM in a month. Loved the Parcier but Dealan makes me look like a nerd lol. Thoughts on low tint everyday glasses?
Congrats!!!! I love low tint, depending on where you work. Sometimes its annoying if they are your only pair.

If your in Dallas area I know where the best place you can get your Cartier fixed
Thanks for the help!
@@JamesHerlihy 🧐
@@emmanuelmedina6468 hahah sorry Dallas would be a bit of a hike for me. My glasses place is doing them now funny enough
Hey James great video, are all the JMM sunnies convertible to opticals if need be? thanks
Every pair I have bought I’ve been able to put prescription lenses in
Also thank you!!
$640 for titanium jmm frames??? Where? They're all pretty much 900+
Check the links in the description for the exact price.

It was 2 years ago and I think I got a discount. It’s crazy how much they have gone up
@@JamesHerlihy appreciate it! I may just pull the trigger. Masahiro Maruyama MM0047 are my daily, but after a few years I'm starting to get bored
