My brolive shell order arrived this week. First day back at the office yesterday and so only just getting to really take a look at them today. Pics follow... this small current batch of brolive seems much lighter than some of the runs a few years back. To be honest, I am not crazy about the color. I would have preferred them darker but this is part of the fun of shell and they will evolve significantly in time. I think once faded the color will get more of the golden/brown undertones that are common with the darker flavors of brolive while just approaching that hue from the opposite direction. I may sun this pair a little to get that process started.
As far as production quality, honestly haven't scrutinized them too carefully yet. The only thing noticeable off the bat is that the toe of the left boot has a bit of striated texturing, which I suspect is just from being pulled over the last tightly. Not 100% sure. Could just be the nature of the shell. Otherwise, they seem good.
