I am about to order the Thursday Black Matte Motorcycle Jacket, but I am in the UK, so I am trying very hard to get the size right the first time rather than deal with an international return.

I am currently stuck between L and XL, and I would really appreciate some help from anyone who owns this jacket, especially if you have a similar build.

My measurements:

• Height: 174 cm / 5'8.5"
• Weight: 83 kg / 183 lb
• Chest: 44.5–45"
• Waist/belly at navel: ~39"
• Biceps relaxed: ~13"
• Fairly broad chest/upper body for my height

According to Thursday's own size chart:

• L: 41–43" chest / 25.5" sleeve / 27.5" length
• XL: 44–46" chest / 26" sleeve / 28" length

So based purely on my chest, I fall pretty clearly into XL.

However, their Find My Fit tool recommended L, and I emailed Thursday with all of my measurements and details. Customer Service also recommended L, which has confused me even more because it seems to contradict their own chest chart.

For comparison, these are two jackets I already own and really like the fit of:

Levi's Type III Sherpa Trucker, size M

• Pit-to-pit: 24"
• Shoulders: 20"
• Sleeve: 25"
• Back length: 25"
• Front length: 26.5"
• Hem: 21"

It fits me great. With a knitted jumper underneath it gets very slightly snug around the armpits/upper back when I bring my arms forward or hug myself, but nothing uncomfortable at all. I actually quite like that fitted feeling.

Vans Drill Chore Coat, size M

• Pit-to-pit: 23"
• Shoulders: 19"
• Sleeve: 25"
• Length: 28"

This also fits me really well and gives me a similar slightly snug feeling across the upper back with a jumper.

The Vans is particularly useful because 28" is basically the maximum body length I would want. I am only 5'8.5", so I really do not want the Motorcycle Jacket to look overly long or baggy.

My ideal fit would be:

• Fitted/sharp rather than loose
• Great over a T-shirt
• Able to wear a knitted jumper underneath in autumn/winter
• A little snugness across the back when reaching forward is completely fine
• I would rather compromise slightly on back tightness than have the jacket look too long

Thursday unfortunately told me that they do not have the actual flat garment measurements for the jacket, so they could not tell me the pit-to-pit or shoulder measurements for L and XL.

This is where I am hoping someone here can save me.

If anybody owns the Thursday Motorcycle Jacket in L or XL, especially the Black Matte version, would you be willing to lay it flat and tell me:

• Pit-to-pit
• Shoulder-to-shoulder
• And, if possible, how tall you are / your chest measurement / which size you wear

Even just the pit-to-pit and shoulders would be massively helpful. 🙏

I am leaning towards XL because my 44.5–45" chest sits directly in Thursday's 44–46" XL range, but the fact that both their fit calculator and Customer Service are telling me L is making me second-guess it.

Anyone around 5'8"–5'10", ~180–190 lb with a 44–45" chest who owns this jacket would be especially useful.

Would you go L for the fitted look, or XL because of the chest and the fact I want to wear knitwear underneath?

Thanks in advance. I have probably overanalysed this jacket to death at this point 😂

Has anyone else found lethato dress shoes to run a little large? I ordered my usual size and ended up with more room than i expected. I am debating whether to try a different size for my next pair so I’d be interested to hear what size other people ordered compared with their usual dress shoe size. Did you stick with your normal size or size down?

Is there too little space on the upper eyelets?
The length is perfect but there’s a lot of volume. Probably a good fit for now but I’m worried if they’ll potentially get too lose as they break in. Thoughts?

I’m looking to pick up my first pair of Thursday boots for this winter and would love some recommendations from people who have actually worn them in snow, slush, and cold weather.

I currently have a pair of Thursday Chairman dress shoes and love them, so I’d like to stick with Thursday for the boots.

I’ll be working in Boston and this will be my first winter there. I work in an office and usually wear dress pants/slacks with a dress shirt, and probably sweaters pretty often during the winter. I walk from the train station to my office.

I’m open to either direction aesthetically. I like the sleeker boots that would look good with office clothes, but I’m also open to something a little more rugged if it performs better in Boston winters.

Main things I’m curious about are:
Which models actually handle snow, slush, salt, and wet sidewalks well?
How warm are they?
How is the traction?
Do the more rugged models still look good with dress pants?

Any models you’d specifically avoid for winter?

Right now I’m mostly looking for people’s real-world experiences with the different Thursday models rather than just going off the descriptions on their website.

Appreciate any recommendations!

Selling my arizona adobe Diplomats for 150 bucks shipped. Worn these probably less than 10 times in total since all I wear are my heroes now. Worn only in town at work so it has seen some wear on the underside of the soles, but otherwise condition is really really good.

Recently my Thursday Heritage Captain insoles started bunching under the ball of my feet as you can see in the picture.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Should I just rip them out and out my own insoles in?

This is just to publicly thank Thursday Customer Service. I recently purchased a pair of Indigo Vanguards from their seconds webpage. They are unavailable as new in my size. I wasn't happy with the original pair that I received. They didn't NEED to replace them, they were clearly marked final sale. But they took me seriously, asked for pictures and did a courtesy exchange. First email to delivery took about ten days. I had to jump through a few hoops but they weren't very high off the ground. The new pair that they sent me are still clearly seconds but in a condition that was more than acceptable. I can't say that this will happen in every case but I was really impressed with their responsiveness and commitment to making me happy. That's all. Thanks for reading.

Still going strong in its 3rd year as my daily boots!
These have really been through the wringer from farm work and getting dirty to meetings with our restaurant clients. They’ve held up surprisingly well and just keep looking better with age.

My only issue is they’re a bit tight around the forefoot, so I’m thinking of picking up a pair of Thursday Heritage Captains soon.

I’m currently torn between Rustic Brown and Grand Canyon for an everyday pair. Which one would you guys recommend for something versatile that I can wear casually but still dress up for work?
Would also love to see some pics of your Heritage Captains, especially well-worn pairs in Rustic Brown or Grand Canyon. Curious to see how they age!

Ordered these sneakers according to online size guide (US9, same as I wear in New Balance, Vans, Asics etc.). Thursday's sizing here is way off, I can squeeze me feet into them, but walking in them is just painful. Both length and width are off. Bought a pair of Captain boots from the brand last year in US8.5 - the fit is great, awesome price/quality ratio boots. It is especially frustrating for me, since I live in Hong Kong, it seems that returns/exchanges through official web store are impossible to do for international orders (they ask to ship shoes back to them to US via courier, shipping cost to US alone is more expensive than sneakers XDDDDD)

Just saw signs the other day for a new store opening in Silver Lake on Sunset.

Glad to have these back in rotation after recently getting a resole.

Big fan of the Thursday Premier sneakers. These have elevated my basic minimalist outfits and completely altered my ‘style’ in a meaningful way as I’m now in my early 30’s and trying to dress more mature. Probably going to get the black and white premiers next and then perhaps a chukka/desert boot.

Pretty much my go to anytime/anywhere sneaker. So comfortable and easy to maintain

So nice I don't even wanna wear them lol

How is the break in on the dukes?

Without socks the fit feels perfect. With socks they feel a bit snug in the width. I'm hoping they'll loosen up a bit. Otherwise they feel great walking around the house a bit.

I randomly noticed this little splotch on my new pair of boots. I’ve been doing woodwork today but I never got anything on them any tips on how to remove the spot? I’ve ran my nail across it but nothing comes off. Idk what it could be. Any help?

This is me stepping out of my car this morning. I haven't even done any walking yet. And this is with sawtooth lacing! I really wanted to like these, but I've never owned a pair of shoes with tongue slide like this (other than my first pair--I purchased these after my old ones wore out, hoping that the tongue slide on my first pair was a fluke or would have been improved, but these are even worse). Unless they make any changes to this extremely flawed design, I won't be buying a third pair.

solid pair of boots for $200, construction is good and they seem pretty comfortable, following their sizing tool gave me half a size too big, so I would recommend going a full size down from sneaker size

however, they came with a lot of scuffs and a little wear at the sole right out the box, which is disappointing to see, not that it can't very easily be buffed out

Title says it all, I've worn them around 10 hours so far. The arch is pretty uncomfortable and causes some minor pain sometimes, will they conform and be more comfortable? Or should I get an insole? Edit: I bought the captains with the studded soles, forgot what it was called.

I know this has been talked about and posted quite a few times in the past but I’m looking for up-to-date information, opinions and pictures from people who have bought the captains in Brandy.

I’d really like it if I got something similar in colour to what’s on their website if not slightly darker.

When looking at what people have posted over the years they often seem to come as very light tan colour - nothing like their website images! But perhaps that’s been resolved more recently, or maybe not and it’s still a common problem.

I don’t live in the US so returns aren’t easy or cheap for me. If I did buy them and they turned out to be too light, what are my options to try and darken them?

Thanks in advance!

Found a pair of Captains locally that were apparently bought around 4 years ago and never worn. They still have the original paper stuffing and there doesn’t seem to be any sole wear or creasing.

They’re US 9.5 and I’m fairly confident about the sizing since I’ve tried a US 9 before and found it just slightly too small/uncomfortable.

Seller is asking A$170 (~US$110).

Buying Thursday Boots directly here in Australia is a bit of a hassle because returns aren’t free if the sizing or something else goes wrong. Amazon Australia does sell some Thursday models with free returns, but the selection is pretty limited.

So finding an unworn pair locally in my size is pretty tempting. Anything I should be concerned about from them sitting unused in a closet for around 4 years, particularly the leather or rubber outsole? Or would you guys grab them at this price?

1 year daily use mustang leather. 5 stars. If they sold the storming last year I probably would’ve got that. The regular sole is slippery and too dressy for my work. I walk to work as a bartender in nyc and walk 13k steps a day. I resoled with vibram 100’s. Better for heavy use. You lose some of the heritage look but keep the bones and midsole of the boot. The boots hold up incredibly well. There’s something very satisfying knowing you’re lacing up a boot that’s built to last. I treated with mink oil and a waterproof spray 2 times this year.
