SprezzaBox Review – Men’s Accessories Subscription Box #getdapper

Posted by on

IMG_7125

SprezzaBox is a Men’s Accessories subscription. Every month you’ll receive several high quality accessories and a grooming item, all for $28 per month.  Items are chosen on the basis of the season and current trends – it’s a curated mix of accessories that ensure you will always look dapper. SprezzaBox kindly sent me this box for review.

The packaging was crisp.IMG_7127 IMG_7128

I was very happy with my first look at all the items.IMG_7130

Salt + Dapper Nato Strap Watch Band ($15) Perfect for updating your timepiece for the season.IMG_7129

das boom everywhere lotion samples – This is one of my favorite grooming brands. I love the smell of them and the lotion feels great.IMG_7134

JUST A MEN Shoe Bag ($15) I’m not sure of the name of this brand but I sure like this shoe bag. The inside is somewhat fleecy and I know my shoes will be protected when they are packed. They have really awesome looking shoes though. IMG_7131

Bull + Moose Necktie ($39) This is an awesome necktie. I love the color and the texture. Bull + Moose is a veteran owned startup focused on creating quality (not cheap) neckwear at non-inflated prices. Every man can get behind that mission.IMG_7135

SprezzaBox is a well curated and welcome addition to men’s monthly subscription boxes. For $28 the November box included $70 of expertly curated products from new to me brands and one current favorite. I was impressed and think that in addition to clothes, an affordable but high quality monthly accessories subscription is an excellent idea.

Posted by on

IMG_5574

Threaded Canvas is a subscription box that sends three artist designed t-shirts, a print, and 3 pieces of art “stuff” every month.  Threaded Canvas sent this box for my review – you can see the previous shirts I received on my wife’s blog. I have found them all very high quality and I have tossed tons of my old shirts in favor of these. It was really about time.

IMG_5911

 

 

Wilke HORSE Art Print ($15), “Dive” Postcard ($3), Sarah marie Hawkins Bookmark ($3), Lost Button ($3).  I enjoyed the surreal/post apocalyptic sort of theme for the month.

If you like anything in this reviews, you can also visit Threaded Canvas to pick up a mix-match box where you select the exact shirts – if available – for your box. These shirts are very soft and I love that.  If you want sleeveless or v-neck shirts, you can pay an upgrade fee for those options.IMG_5912

 

Reza aka Rejagulu: Water Colorink Tee ($25) I’m not really sure what this one is.
IMG_5915

 

Hector Mansilla Gonzales aka Againstbound: Lotus Tee ($25) IMG_5914Florent Bodart aka Speakerine: Burning Circles Tee ($25) My favorite of the bunch, although I liked and have worn all three.

At twenty bucks a month (plus $7 shipping), you’re running ten bucks give or take (depending on your options) for every high-quality unique tee shirt, and that’s a great deal.

Visit Threaded Canvas to sign up or find out more about this subscription. You can also get 10% off your first box with the coupon code from my wife’s blog – mommysplurge10!

Guide to Five Four Club Jeans, Pants, and Inseams

Posted by on

Five Four Club is a men’s monthly subscription box that focuses on clothing. Every box is a $120+ value. You can exchange the clothing for sizing issues, which I have done plenty of times without hassle. You can also change your profile at any time in order to switch what kinds of clothes you receive.

Five Four Club also sends out pants, and nearly all their club shipments for July included jeans, as a way to gear up for the cooler fall weather that will soon hit many parts of the country. You might be confused about how Five Four Club approaches pants sizing. Instead of the traditional waist + inseam measurement, Five Four Club will send standardized inseams based on your waist size.

Anything under 34 inches will have a 32″ inseam; 34″+ will have a 34″ inseam. It’s quite easy to get denim and other pants tailored. We have a tailor at the mall who charges a minimal fee for hemming pants.

There are also two types of fits available in Five Four Club denim – Original Straight.

And Five Four Club‘s Relaxed Fit. Remember that the styles you will receive are based on your profile: be sure to mark down your preferences accordingly.

Five Four Club has also conveniently provided us with a pants cuffing guide, in case you’d forgotten.
