I got a pair, they are made in England and based on price look to be from same range as those. They do another level of handcrafted which are £400ish
They are quite simple and lightweight designs by and large so not a huge amount that can be used to demonstrate quality.
I'm happy with mine tho, mainly as I liked the style and colour and Made in England aspect. As a package they feel nicer than your average persol / Ray-Ban.

Any views on the rimowa colab? Just another luxoticca mass production or worth a punt?

They're made by LMVH and Marcolin's Thélios factory so should be a step up in quality from Luxottica's dross but you'll be paying a fair chunk for the name. If you like the design though they should be a decent enough buy.

Check on Styleforum. JMM change hands in the thread more readily.

Probably wont buy any, but best place in London to try on JMM (when that's legal)?

Try the Eye Company in Soho. Pretty sure dee got one of his pairs from there.
Not local at all but Seen in Manchester has the most extensive collection, followed by Niche Bazaar Studio, in the UK. The owners wife is the UK, possibly EU, distributor for JMM.
On a separate note, they are rip off merchants so don't buy from them directly.

Ta. Saw seen have the best stock images and range, but feels a bit toppy. Like the 'ari' but feel they may be a bit of a bold frame, as a lot of them are.

I have the following if you want more pics:
Fellini
Dealan
Seberg
Scarpa
Jules
Jax
The Fitzgerald are quite safe, as are Zephirin, Jax and Dealans. The Jax are lovely. The titanium ones are reeeeealy light, just FYI if you have a tendency to drop/break things!

Just a bit. JMM and Vis were the brands of the last 12 months for me.

Adam Simmonds worth a look as well as The Eye Company.

Lesca are good quality. Not all of their frames have lenses that small.
A lens size of 45 isn't comically small, it's pretty typical for retro styles like that. The overall width of the frame is what's important and in the case of retro styles like Lesca that is made up in the bridge width, width of the rims and length of the endpieces.

The Optical Workshop is happy to put lenses in frames bought elsewhere.

Toin and Cracka - If you want to take a punt on a pair now, Thread have 20% off everything this weekend. Other than Black Friday, this is pretty much the only way you'll get JMM for less than retail. Not sure what styles they have, but worth a look. It'll be the stock that End and Mr P carry.
