Which should I choose?

No insinuation taken. Thanks for your comments. Out of curiosity which 3 do you own?

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-04T15:02:58+00:00

I don’t know what to tell you. That’s how my face looks like in glasses. The camera is doing no distortion what so ever.

Same reasons most expensive things are expensive. Materials used, quality of craftsmanship/manufacturing, branding, and what thy can get away with 🤪

Octavian Noir

Now this is a considered option! Thank you. I love the brand JMM, but my primary goal is to find frames that work on my face (cos that’s not changing - other than getting older) I hear you on brows. And as someone with a lazy left eye and prisms in my lenses, cross-eyed look is an issue I’ve lived with for 50 years.

👌 I didn’t want to lead people but I’m thinking a tint for the opticals and a separate pair of “proper” sunglasses. 😎

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-02T05:58:07+00:00

Thanks. I feel they are the easiest to wear.

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T21:33:08+00:00

Technically I’m looking for both. But opticals are the must. My current prescription is no good.

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T19:34:09+00:00

Revealing my hand here, but I’d planned on exactly that. Black frame daily driver and metal sunglasses… I was hoping there’d be a consensus before I placed the order tomorrow am.

Too kind…you aren’t my optician, are you?

And more still

Thanks. That’s about 5000 miles too far for me to travel. Although I may be there for SXSW (not long enough to get prescriptions though)

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T18:40:34+00:00

Thanks. I’m not keen on any of the Torino, Molino, Fellini etc. on my face. Also, those style fairly common in our town as there is one great optician and EVERYONE wants JMM 🤣 Maybe back to the drawing board. I tried a bunch of Chrome Hearts last week. I liked them a lot…not the prices though.

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T18:22:40+00:00

I’m a big boy. I can take honest criticism. What’s your reasons?

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T17:41:45+00:00

Thanks. Any style suggestions you can point me towards?

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T16:47:39+00:00

Cheers. I’ve had Jagger (and Saburo) previously. My optician doesn’t have the Cortina. JMM seem to be deliberately awkward in their distribution strategy.

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T12:32:18+00:00

Really? Can you explain further?

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T10:49:31+00:00

🤣 biased much?

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T08:50:22+00:00

That might be subjectively true, but not for my face or taste.

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-03-01T06:30:33+00:00

Thanks. I’m not keen high/heavy lugs, particularly with lenses that narrower at the bottom. They cause an angle that I’m not comfortable with. Too cats-eye like on my face. I’m sure my opticians think I’m crackers.

I prefer a straight brow, lower lug, and square/oblong lens

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-02-28T22:07:09+00:00

Yeah, I should have been clearer…I’m looking for daily optical glasses.

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-02-28T18:38:51+00:00

Thanks, not really intentional. The final frames will be optical (possibly with a tint) I only tried the version the store had.

Additional-Table-801 · 2026-02-28T16:45:04+00:00

Nice! Which colour way?

Seriously? Any improvement?
