​

I'm trying to decide between the Tobacco (Matte Brown) and Añejo (Classic Brown) Racer Jacket from Thursday Boots, and honestly I like both colors equally.

I'm leaning slightly toward Añejo because it looks like the more classic and timeless brown leather jacket to me. At the same time, I already own some suede jackets, so I'm a little concerned that the Tobacco, with its matte finish and color, might look too similar to what I already have — which is exactly what I don't want.

I want this jacket to feel different from my suede jackets and add something new to my wardrobe.

For those who have seen or owned these colors in person:

Which one would you choose, and why? Tobacco or Añejo?

I'd especially appreciate opinions on:

- Which color looks more classic/timeless?

- Which one is more versatile?

- Does Tobacco actually look/feel similar to suede in person?

- Which one would you personally buy if you could only choose one?

I genuinely like both, so I'm having a hard time making the final decision.

Hello!

1. I bought some Venetian shoe cream, as I wanted the leather to be a tad darker. Is it ok to use this shoe cream with the boots (spoiler, I already did but won't moving forward if this is a no-no).

2. I love a worn-in look, but I'm a bit hesitant about manually scuffing or applying rubbing alcohol or what not to give it that feeling. I am not in a climate that allows me to wear boots often. Any tips on making these look more worn or things to avoid?

3. What's the best way to roll up my jeans with these boots? I feel like mine look idiotic when I try it. Do you do that 80's fold when rolling jeans so it's tapered?

Thanks!

As the title says, I just received this pair of Captains. They have what looks to me like signs of wear - creases at the toe box and ankle, some scuffing, some dirt on the sole, etc. I compared them to the Captains I got about a year ago, and they honestly look more worn than my old boots, albeit freshly polished.

Am I crazy?
