Hey Brolonation. Colin here. The Brolo is a brand new accessory. It will take some time, but you will love it. We hope these tips and tricks help speed up that process. Below are our Brolo best practices. Please email us with any questions. We would love to hear any and all thoughts.
BROLO USER GUIDE CONTENTS
Attaching Brolos to glasses
1) Make sure to attach Brolo to correct side. Brolo should be pointing out.
2) Pull on like a sock. Wet the tips of your glasses to help the Brolo slide on!!! People have'd used rubbing alcohol if you want to get wild. Don't be afraid to pulling her on there. We replace all broken Brolos.
3) If taking off recommend rolling back
Some thicker glass don’t work well with the Brolo. Email us if you have any trouble at all. We will give you a 100% refund no questions asked.
Tension adjustment
If the tension on the cords from the clasp is uneven, the Brolo will lean on you. Follow the steps below to fix that.
1) Push down on clasps to increase tension
2) Pry up on clasps with key to decrease tension
3) Iterate the steps above so each cord pulls with the same tension. You want it in the goldilocks zone, not too tight, not too loose.
Positions
Flip mode: The most popular mode. Slide in the middle of the cords to enable ease of flip.
Sport mode: Engage slide close to your head. This protects your specs during all the athletic activities you do.
Tuck mode: Recommended for any swinging or leaning activities activities, i.e. golf, bowling, pool, etc. Also recommended with hoodies (Put it in your hood!).
Bandana Mode: Guess I have to add this one in now too. Keep it low to show off below the PPE. Check out Burt Brolo bandana and pick your favorite mustache!
Fancy Mode: Recommended for weddings, business casual, and anything in between that involves a collar.
Night Mode: Want to leave your glasses at home but bring the Brolo? Follow the steps below to swap your Brolo slide over to a Classic Bolo Tie cord.
Slide swap
1) Grab other Brolo slide
2) Loosen clasp (see Tension Adjustment section)
3) Pull out cords
4) Pull new cords into other Brolo slide
5) Adjust tension as specified in Tension Adjustment section
Now you can swap out your Brolo slides in less than 1 minute. This gets you to Brolonation Level 2, where you change between rugged and fancy slides depending on if you are going to the beach or the boardroom.
Do you wear two glasses? I have a brown Brolo with gold tips on my Blenders and a black Brolo with silver tips on my Knockarounds. That Dual Color Combo gets you to Brolonation Level 3 baby. Our Mom and Dad got on Level 3 with the combo on their reading glasses.
Recommended glasses type
We have designed the Brolo for tapered glasses (B in picture) compared to glasses with a straight shot (A in picture). They should also work for blunt tips (C in picture) but they will need to stretch quite a bit. Email us if you have any questions or can't get your Brolo to fit. We will make it right.
*with bite marks from Gertie Burty
Some reading glasses are too skinny for a Brolo (A in picture). We don’t have that problem solved yet. You can wrap some tape around your glasses to increase the diameter but that is not recommended.
Be Careful!
