Sun's out, gunboats out! Took delivery of these Color 2 LWB from B+M, but the rain and overcast wouldn't allow me to capture the tones of this Color 2 make-up.

Absolutely love everything about this Color 2 Longwing as it features Alden's latest Dull Gold eyelets which to me are more muted than Brass Hardware. 360 pre-stitched reverse welt helps the Barrie last look even chunkier. Add that with Double Waterloc soles and the McAfee heel to give it that iconic profile and comfort. The laces appear to be a taupe/light olive which accents the Antique edge and welt perfectly!

On their own, these don't appear to have much of a red hue to them, but when you compare them to Ravello and AE Chili, you can see the differences. I don't own any Color 4, so can't compare, but this batch of Color 2 aligns more with my expectations of what Color 4 would look like.
