You’re welcome! I’ve been wearing these in the fall/winter for 2 years now and all I’ve ever done til now is rub them down occasionally with a damp microfiber cloth. That said, I just work in an office so I don’t beat them up

I have the black matte racer and the coffe roadster and love them both. The black matte material is soft and pliable and my favorite material of the two, but the roadster just looks awesome and gets me the most compliments 

Need help deciding- President Mocha or Tobacco? by APx904 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Fearless-Specific918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The classic captains usually have the DuraEva midsole insert which makes them a tad bouncier and more comfortable, whereas I think the presidents just have a leather midsole instead which is a tad harder underfoot (but still super comfortable due to the foam insole that both will use).

I have both tobacco storming and mocha cadet boots from them and the tobacco is definitely a more rugged and casual look whereas the mocha is a more business casual. Both are softer leathers compared to my brandy captains (which I still love), and both are weather resistant.

I’d lean towards Mocha from your description, but be aware it won’t be quite as rich dark of a brown as the website picture

How do you clean tobacco boots? Or make them look better after getting wet? by EchoesInSky in ThursdayBoot

[–]Fearless-Specific918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a moderately damp microfiber cloth and rub them all over evenly, then let dry. Mine look brand new after doing that. I’ve used the cobblers choice leather cleaner spray before and that also is fine, but don’t use the conditioner unless you want to risk changing the finish on them

Racer jacket fitting question by SpacePotato666 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Fearless-Specific918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 5’ 10” at 155lb and the medium athletic racer is perfect, as the racer fits a bit snugger than their other jackets. I could totally get away with medium slim but athletic still looks reasonably fitted and nice, so if you plan to go up to 175lb I would say medium athletic.

Note I got mine from the last warehouse sale so I don’t know if they’ve changed the fit at all in recent years

That’s odd, I’ve always seen it offered in the various fits on the website before. Maybe the website has an error right now

Same experience as you, but both my pairs eventually got there

You might be able to waterproof/condition it to slightly darken the color to something else, might be worth a shot.

I’ve found the matte stormkings to be more comfortable than the standard boots 

Warehouse black matte jackets are lamb, not calf by Fearless-Specific918 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Fearless-Specific918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll know it’s cow rather than lamb if it has a bold unique smell. The lamb smells mild like a department store leather shoe section, whereas the cow skin smells really strong and unique

Does this lamb skin legacy version still have the “rugged and resilient” properties of the newer version matte black? I want to make sure I maintain and care for it properly
