What to know about Ten Thousand
Shorts are the anchor product
The line stays deliberately narrow — lined and unlined training shorts, technical tees, joggers and midweight hoodies — rather than a full seasonal range.
Built for wear, not seasons
Pieces are developed around durability and muted colorways, so the range changes little from year to year instead of following fashion cycles.
Direct-to-consumer, gym-backed distribution
Sold direct online, funded by a $21.5 million Series A led by Provenance, with a sponsorship deal placing the brand alongside Life Time gyms.

How Ten Thousand fits
Overall fit
true to size

Tip: Order your usual size; size up only if you carry extra size in the chest, thighs or want a looser, layer-friendly fit.
Medium confidence · based on 14 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | regular to lightly relaxed midweight fit, roomy in the shoulders | Stick with your usual size; it already has enough room to layer over a tee. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | athletic jogger cut, easy through the seat and thigh with a taper below the knee | Order your normal waist size and check inseam options if you're under about 5'8". |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | true to size | athletic fit with a slight taper; the heavier durable-style tees read a bit boxier and more relaxed | Take your normal size for a training fit, or size up one if you prefer tees to drape loosely. |

Brand facts
Ten Thousand makes men's training apparel sold direct-to-consumer, founded in early 2017 by Keith Nowak, a former professional soccer player in Italy's Serie C who previously ran seed and Series A investing for a family office. The range stays deliberately narrow: lined and unlined training shorts, technical tees, joggers and midweight hoodies in muted colorways, developed around durability rather than seasonal fashion. The company raised a $21.5 million Series A led by Provenance, with Alfa and Fernbrook participating, alongside a sponsorship deal with Life Time gyms.
