    i like La Eyeworks, i actually found out about the brand because of this channel. i don’t own a pair yet , I’m not too sure that i will get a pair either. JMM really does have my heart

      JMM are great, but try to get out of the mindset that they are the be all and end all. There's a lot of hype around them, but just like with Rolex, true watch or glasses collectors appreciate all the best manufacturers and not just one

    The Lagos (that you styled for me) is my favourite frame from my collection. There's just something about it - a little bit catseye (which is very uncharacteristic of my style) that is softened by the unique crystal colouration. The faceted browline softens the catseye form, and adds a new dimension to it. It's somehow bold yet doesn't shout - it's CONFIDENT!
    I don't say this lightly, as I have at least a few other frames in the same class/category (won't be mentioning brands/models).

    Just bought the Porter frame in African tortoise. It is beautiful acetate for sure. I also bought, b/c it was a super sale online ($100) and I couldn't resist, the Baby Melt in seawater. Maybe for a pair of transitions.

    I love that LA eyeworks uses ACTUAL hand pinned rivets, not shields. It drives me up a wall when manufacturers make a beautifull pair of glasses just to put shileds on, or fake rivets just to put a heat sunk hinge behind it (ahem...JMM). Big chunky frames feel more solid with riveted hinges.

    I got the twill for my first pair of prescription glasses. They are pretty traditional rectangle, but I like the classic and basic style in a quality frame.

  • @ronjenkins8529
    @ronjenkins8529 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Great glasses. It's a shame many of their best (or most appealing to me) acetates seem to only be on their more feminine shapes; Phoenix, Neapolitan, Blotter, Jelly Cake. But I suppose most makers skew more heavily towards mens', so it's probably fair enough.

    • @thespectaclefactory
      @thespectaclefactory  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I totally agree. There's only the Lagos in their entire catalogue which I would actually wear myself, and even that is slightly feminine. I guess the brand being created by two women does lend itself to that.

      @@thespectaclefactory Hi, Dita opened their own factory back in 2018. It seemed to be a big deal since they were one of the few independent factories to do so. Do you happen to know which models they produce out of that factory and which may be produced by Masunaga? I've always been curious.
      On a similar note, do you know who else makes other brands' eyewear? We know brands like Jacques Marie Mage, Chrome Hearts, and pretty much most of the industry are more designers and not manufacturers, so they all outsource their manufacturing to someone. I'd love to know who produces what product for which brands. Stuff like this is interesting. Many years back, Luxottica bought a majority stake in Fukui Megane, which is why Ray-ban started their "Made In Japan" titanium eyewear.

    This is the very first video I disagree with your scoring on. You have L.A. Eyeworks a 9 out of 10 on Style, and an 8 out of 10 on originality. I was born and raised in L.A. The home of Zsa Zsa Gabor and the Marlboro Man lit up on Sunset Blvd. L.A. is pink and green and filled with kitsch, smog, crime, and... Miley Cyrus. You are what you drive. L.A. is not my thing and so I moved to NYC. Even so, L.A. Eyeworks captures perfectly an ideal of L.A. I give them a 10 out 10 on both Style and Originality. Again, not my thing but I bow to L.A. Eyeworks. They are a creative vision. I'd rather have Masunaga or Maison Bonnet, perfection made manifest and... timeless.
