I ordered a Thursday boots jacket that arrived with a 2 inch tear in the leather on the chest area. They offered me an exchange, and when the second jacket arrived, it had a half-inch tear on the collar.
Bought it and have some quality issues. The collar is super warped like bacon (yours looks nice and flat). Also have a patch that clearly doesn’t match the rest of the jacket because it’s shiny. I’ve heard of people having to do multiple exchanges so hopefully my next one comes fine. Fit was good. 5’10” @ 170 with 38 chest. Athletic M
@@Retrakk got a new one that had very consistent sheen, no bacon collar. Only difference was it was very stiff. Gets better with each wear. It’s winter now so Don’t wear it too much.
Thank you so much for including everything like your build and what size you bought. I’m having a ton of trouble shopping for leather online. We weigh the exact same I’m 6’0 so I can safely shop close to that range. Great review. Thanks Mr. Hsu

I bought this exact jacket after watching your videos. I’m 6’3, 270 lbs, so I ordered the XXL Relaxed fit… it fits beyond perfect, even the sleeves are a good fit… no need to return it… I do have a question for you, how long before the “chemical” scent fades or works its way into the wear of the jacket?
I am an asian guy. I would like to purchase a ‘Thursday Leather Jacket’ online. I am 5 feet 6 inches and my weight is only 56 kilogram or 123 pound. Since I am a short guy I know that I have to go for Size S. But I am confused whether I should go for Slim Fit or Athletic Fit? Would you kindly suggest?
I bought the Keanu Black Matte jacket in size XL. I'm 5'11 and 215 lbs. The jacket is a bit snug around the shoulders and mid section but not to the point that I can't move or have excessive restriction in my movement. I didn't want to go to a size XXL as I felt it would be to loose and once I broke the jacket in it would look baggy or simply oversized. I feel like the XL would truly be ideal if you are 5'11 to 6'1 and weigh around 195 to 200 lbs. Otherwise though the jacket quality is amazing and feels great. Best advice though, give it time to break in.
@@shko-mi The length of the jacket is good. Sits right at my belt line so not to long or to short. The base of the jacket doesn't ride up when walking. It will rise if I reach above my head but normal movement and walking around the base sits properly. The arms fit well and the cuff sits properly at the wrist and doesn't over hang onto my hands when I have my arms at my side.
Hey! Thank you so much for watching. If you wanted it a bit snug I would say go for XL, or XXL if you want a more relaxed fit. I personally like it a bit more relaxed. Hope this was helpful, be sure to subscribe
@@MichaelHsu95 I just looked again, you're correct, it looks like different colors have different leather types. Some have lambskin. The matte has "rugged & resilient leather" - Thanks!
Great review. I've been eyeing this brand. I'm close to your measurements, but i'm about 5'7" and 160. Would I still get the Large Athletic fit? Thanks
Hey, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. With your weight You might get a large slim fit, or medium. Hope this helps, be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it!
Hey man! Loved this review it was very helpful, you covered everything I needed to know but I was wondering what you would recommend for me? I’m 5’9 and 165 pounds and people have told me to have broad shoulders. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked the review. I think either M or L would fit you good depending if you want a slim fit or a bigger fit for layers. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it!
@@MichaelHsu95 Thanks man for the hasty reply. I asked Thursday Boots if they replenish the Bronco (the one is almost out of stock). They didn't reply to me. Do they typical restock? That's my last question lol
@MichaelHsu95 interesting I'm thinking of buying one but I don't have the luxury of trying it on or anything like that and I don't own any other jackets for reference I also have to go through some hoops to get it meaning I won't be able to make an exchange means it has to be perfect the first time I was told real leather jackets would stretch over time and form to the body but if this one doesn't then do I get the athletic fit it between the athletic or slim
@@alexsnow27 all leather would stretch a tad bit, but it wouldn’t stretch to another size if that makes sense. It depends on you, if you workout and are a bigger buffer dude that wants more room in your jacket go with athletic. If you want a jacket close to your body with that slim fit look go with the slim. If you still aren’t sure I would highly recommend emailing Thursday, their customer service is awesome and I’m sure they would help you find the right size. Hope this was helpful, be sure to subscribe!
Hey hey thanks for watching my video and reaching out!! We have similar weight and size, I would recommend going with L unless you want it slim fit and tight then maybe go with Medium. But personally that would be too tight for me that I wouldn’t even be able to move around. Hope this was helpful, be sure to subscribe! Feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions!
@JoseRamirez-hj4km I'll probably do that but have to wait for it to be delivered first. But at least I can try it on and just see how it fit. I just ordered it base on the site fitting recommended
Hey bro! Great review! I’m trying to do as much research as I can because I’m very interested in purchasing a jacket of my own. I was wondering what size you would recommend, I’m 5’5 in height and 165lbs?
If it helps, I went with athletic large. 5’5’’ 175lbs 45 inch chest, 19 shoulders. Perfect snug fit on shoulders and chest, sleeves slightly longer than I’d like.
My L racer jacket fit like a belly shirt. Who wants the cut that high? Your shirt will most likely stick out. I tried some of my other large jackets on to confirm Thursdays cut as an outlier. Yup, “unique” dimensions
4:29 Damn. Calf leather? I own a couple leather jackets and am about to order the Thursday racer and roadster jackets, but do they really have to use calf leather and give me more internal guilt that they slaughtered a baby cow to use it's skin for my jacket. Damn. Haha. At least with an adult cow I can imagine it probably lived somewhat of a life and it's death also provided a bunch of food for people as well as it's leather. But a baby cow? Damn dude.
Since initially watching your review I've done more research and you say "Calf skin" but they actually don't use Calf skin for their Racer jacket. They use "Premium Lambskin".
Thank you for your response. Yes, I went to their midtown Manhattan store the other day and tried their Black Coffee Roadster. I thought it was great. Thinking about buying it and looking at reviews. I wanted to make sure I see as many honest reviews as possible. Thank you for your videos.

update?

Can you also please do a one year review on the roadster jacket.
How is it for cold weather? Thanks!
I highly recommend a microphone, even a cheap one! The audio is very tinny and echo-ey, hard to listen.

Thanks bro. It took me weeks to find details . I’m 6’0 185ish and even typed it in google to see if anybody my build wore it.
How is it in terms of length? I'm same height 200lbs but most in chest/arms and legs

@@brandonsmith479 ohh okay then, Thanks! I usually wear medium or rarely L so was surprised to see I actually need larger than that for this one

How do you clean it though?
How often do you clean it or condition and so it won’t crack plus how do you do it?
I honestly haven’t conditioned it since I got it, and it still looks great
@@MichaelHsu95 wow that’s awesome, thank you and love the review new subscriber
The black matte is similar to nubuck or suede…you don’t condition it.
I'm looking to buy their Bronco Shearling Jacket. I'm 6'0, 235.5 lbs. Do you think a 2XL will fit? I have kind of a dad bod body type. Thank you
@@Keegan-km2jh the bronco looks awesome, I’m hoping to get my hands on one. The 2XL should fit you well.

I would say it did not. Pretty much the same size as the day I got it

I got mine based on the site sizing guide and it feels way too big.. now I’m worried to get my next one too small and have to keep returning it
I recommend a clip on mic, will sound much more professional.
Hey i am 185 pounds 5'8 any recommendations on the size? I got a little muscle on me. I was thinking on the athletic medium😊

Im about the same size and shape. How does it fit? I just ordered a medium athletic and when it comes in I might return it if it to tight

@raptortown when you do, let me know how it fits
Very nice review, I love Thursday's product I have their Captain boots they make some high-quality full grain leather products very nice
Hi there is it tight around the arms?
@MichaelHsu95 what size you recommend for someone 5'8 185lbs size/fit?
how did the widowmaker lasT?
Hey bro!
Great review! I’m trying to do as much research as I can because I’m very interested in purchasing a jacket of my own.
I was wondering what size you would recommend, I’m 5’5 in height and 165lbs?
Thank you so much for watching my video and leaving a comment. Maybe size M would be good for you. Which jacket are you thinking of getting
@@MichaelHsu95 thank you!
I was looking at the racer black matte 👍🏼
Mike, Bro, thanks. We match, I am 5 8.5 and also weigh 185. Good to hear you are enjoying your purchase. Thanks for the video 👊🏾
Hi! I appreciate this video 👍. I'm only 5'6 and 155lbs, but my chest is a bit larger at 42in. What size in athletic would you recommend?
Maybe medium if you want a tighter fit or L.
If it helps, I went with athletic large. 5’5’’ 175lbs 45 inch chest, 19 shoulders. Perfect snug fit on shoulders and chest, sleeves slightly longer than I’d like.

4:29 It's not "Calf skin". They use "Premium Lambskin". So it's Lamb, not cowhide.
That's a good looking jacket!
I would have to agree 😆 I just posted a video on the roadster jacket 🔥
I guess, slim Small will be good for me, 5"4, 130 Lb? Or should I wait for XS size?
Hey thanks for watching. I think Small would be good for you. Hope this video was helpful, be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it!

@@kiril1hey did it fit you?
@@drjr8757 Hi, my friend. Didn't buy it till today. Maybe if they have a discount in the future. 350$ it's pretty pricey for me.
It’s very elegant and the colour matte was perfect , but for me still expressive for $400 hopefully they do some discounts even 20% off 😂😂😂
Thnaks bro

Nice jacket
Honest non accusatory question : is this video sponsored by Thursday?
Hey! Not sponsored but they gave me this jacket to give an honest review. Are you looking to get this jacket?

That's not actually a jacket that you ride a motorcycle with.
Yeah and you don't actually use trench coats to fight in the trenches. Who woulda thought
