Gentleman’s Box Review January 2018
Gentleman’s Box is a subscription box that caters to the modern gentleman. Each month honors a noteworthy gentleman from the past or present. Items in their subscription box for men are hand selected to reflect the carefully crafted image of that month’s honored gentleman. Four to five products, including a subscription to GQ magazine, arrive at your doorstep monthly. They kindly sent us this box to review.
Subscription Details
Gentleman’s Box has 3 different subscription boxes to choose from:
- Monthly Subscription – $25 per month
- Sock of the Month – $12 per month
- Tie of the Month – $15 per month
Here’s a closer look at the January Box…..
January Theme
The January box is honouring “Our Favourite Milk Man”. This month’s honouree demonstrates the characteristics of a gentleman, on and off the field. In August 2017, the honoree raised over 37 million dollars for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts!
Gentlemen Essentials Pocket Square ($25)
This month, Gentlemen Essentials features a 100% silk pocket square with hand-rolled edges. The navy and red colors pay homage to our honoree’s team colors.
Red and blue is such a classic colour combination and so is the houndstooth pattern. It has me envisioning a successful entrepreneur sitting behind a mahogany desk, sipping on a scotch at the end of the day. The silk is such a soft, quality fabric that will compliment the other items quite nicely.
Deo Veritas Tie ($29)
This month, Deo Veritas presents a classic striped tie made of 100% cotton. This accessory will look great with any dress shirt.
You just can’t go wrong with stripes. The blue in this tie has a great dark denim feel to it which makes it a great tie to add to an after 5 casual outfit or dress up a grey suit. Again, I am loving the color combination in this tie!
Lockstep Apparel Socks ($12)
Lockstep Apparel believes in putting your best foot forward. Their goal is to provide you with a sock for every occasion. Lockstep Apparel makes their first appearance in Gentleman’s box with a tri-blend of socks made from cotton, polyester, and elastane. Look dapper and distinguished in Lockstep Apparel socks.
Who doesn’t love a great striped sock? What I love most about dress socks is that they add pizzaz to a casual outfit but also serve as a great accessory to a suit, especially with the shorter pant looks that are in these days. The fabric is soft and quality so you won’t need to worry about a toe poking through any time soon.
Gentlemen Essentials Lapel Pin ($15)
This month, Gentlemen Essentials features a navy 100% micro-fiber flower.
You know how they say a man that wears pink is sure of his masculinity? Well, I feel the same about the flower label pins. Only a confident man rocks these but boy do they rock them well! My husband actually has a few of these thanks to Gentleman’s box and he loves them. The right lapel pin can really tie an outfit together. I love that they have continued with the navy color combination with the pin as well. The solid color is nice as the other items are all patterned.
East of Liberty Money Clip ($15)
East of Liberty is a brand that believes the way you dress says a lot about you. It represents your self-confidence and respect. They believe a person’s attire is their way of showing the world how they want to be perceived. We collaborate with East of Liberty to present a novelty money clip made of stainless steel.
This might be my favorite item in the box. How fun is this clip? Gone are the days of the Seinfeld bursting wallet. A money clip is the perfect way to keep your money tidy and handy. I love the stainless steel and play on the paperclip. So fun!
Gentleman Collective Leather Bracelet ($25)
The Gentleman Collective features a leather and cord-wrapped bracelet in this month’s box, a unique approach to bracelet design. The Gentleman Collective donates 15% of every purchase to the Children’s Aid Foundation, dedicated to improving the lives of Canada’s neglected children.
This is another item that not all men have the confidence to wear but for those that do, it can instantly update their style game. This is masculine and looks well constructed. I love that the themed color combination shows but is complimented with the rich tan leather and industrial looking clasp.
Gentleman’s Box Review January 2018 – Final Thoughts
Class and quality are the words that come to mind with this month’s box. I love the colour combination and fact that all the items complement each other so well. Our honoree is a football player and I definitely can feel the football vibe with this box from the team colours to the leather on the bracelet. The money clip was a great addition as a lifestyle essential. Gentleman’s box always does an amazing job with their curation and attention to detail, all at an unbelievable value. Gentleman’s Box is $25 a month and the value in this box alone is over $120. Sounds like the perfect gift for the man in your life. Don’t forget Valentine’s is right around the corner.
XOXO
