Reply to Thursday Boots - Worth It? by Cimon_40
I wore my Captain boot yesterday for thee first time and they are incredibly comfortable and I loved it. I'd recommend them especially if you want a boot that looks professional. Way better than a Clark or something along those lines. Make sure you go down half a size from your normal shoe size.

We have no idea as worth is a metric comprised of exposing your financial records to the internet + exposing your emotions on this matter to the internet. I just spent $1000 on used seats for my 20 year old car....worth it? If you want to see my tax records and have an hour long conversation, I'll gladly share if you message me.
Any boots that can be recrafted are BIFL as that's the standard. Most Thursday offerings meet this.
Worth is a YOU question.

If you want good dressy boots on a budget, they're worth it. Good work boots on a similar budget are Thorogoods...
Jim Green is a very good brand to consider too. Simpler and goofy compared to the Thursdays, but cheaper and very comfortable and meant as real work boots (like, no fake toe caps on Jim Greens, while on Thursdays they're just for the style...)

They’re probably the best option if you don’t want to pay $500 for a true lifelong boot manufactured to an artisanal level. I’ve had my pair about a year and they’ve broken in well, and I’m very happy with the leather’s patina even over that short time. They’re also about as cheap as goodyear welted boots come. It’s just a question of budget.

Anvil Rose (YouTuber who cuts boots in half to assess the construction) did a video on their chukka. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2tWoUbBGHK0
I was stoked to get a pair, went to their nearest location, and stood in the store for 20 minutes trying to talk to a salesperson before giving up and leaving. Not sure if it was just that location, or just that day, but their operations were so poorly run it makes me question the rest of company enough to not want the boots anymore.

I've had mine a couple years and am still very happy with them. Not an expert but the leather and construction seem to be high quality. They've broken in well and they've held up far better than most other boots I've owned. Worth the price in my opinion.

It’s a good $200 boot. It is not, as they advertise, a $500 boot for $200

Reply to Bought with S&H green stamps by pah2000
Give it a good brushing all over with a soft brush to get all that dust off it. Vacuuming out those open slots would be a good idea too.

Reply to comment by bafrad in Need advice on BIFL full grain leather briefcase by ghouleon2
Have several bags from them or bought them for others. They can take a beating, even after a few years. I won’t buy leather goods from anywhere but them honestly

Do you have one? I looked this up and it looks fantastic. I’m wondering if you have any details how it’s holding up? I’ve been wanting to add a briefcase to my collection.

It doesn’t. I dose products with small wooden spatulas. They come in packs of 200+ so I never have to worry about losing them or poor sanitation from dipping my fingers into the jar. I use solid perfume, and reuse well-traveling spray bottles from other products for loose liquids like hairspray, essence, and setting spray.

Reply to A.M. Leondard Lifetime Warranty is only for the life of the product, not your life. Huh? by JoebiWanKanobi
Lifetime warranties aren't for the life of the purchaser. They're for the life of the product or as long as the item is in production. They aren't trying to trick or cheat you here. That's pretty standard stuff.

Thanks for this, I'll better look into newer models then, not that this is a deal breaker, just gives me one more reason to go for a newer model

Reply to ISO Goodyear welted running shoes. by Neverendingnerd
You can just glue the soles…but the cost isn’t worth it. The sole, midsole, and insole all wear out, and that’s like 85% of the shoe- especially a running shoe.

Might get the Big Skinny World model. Looks perfect for my needs. Especially the zipper.

Had a similar experience where I had a Patagonia puffer for 4-5 years. The zipper had ripped the material and the down was falling out. I took it in to fix it and they just gave me a new one.

How does this system handle aerosoles like perfume, dosing with pumps, or any other situation needing a top that isn't jar-like?

Several years ago I had maxpedition wallet/phone belt pouch kinda thing. I can definitely say it was built like a tank.
