Menswear Club Box May 2016 box

This month’s The Menswear Club box brings you to Sin City (no, not Lynn).   The Menswear Club is a monthly men’s subscription box with 5-6 full-size grooming products as well as menswear accessories.  Subscribers can expect hair pomade, combs, beard oil, face lotion & cleanser, aftershave, shaving cream, socks, ties, pocket squares, tie clips, and more.

The box itself has a great design and is really well put together.  It’s hip and classy, and the combination of items follows the formula established by the tried and true men’s style boxes, typically featuring a tie, socks, grooming items and tie clip, pocket square, or cufflinks.

The theme for this month is Viva Las Vegas, showcasing some fashion essentials to get you ready to hit The Strip.

The information card lists all the items included in the box, as well as an explanation of how the theme for the month manifested in the box.  An estimate of value is given for each item — this month states a $105 value.  Bear in mind that this generous value includes a $30 matte tie clip and a  $20 pair of socks.  Even with the generous assessments, the value of the box still outstrips its cost.

Rebel’s Refinery Rehab Roller Under Eye Moisturizer ($15):   The tip of this roller is like a giant ball-point pen, dispensing the nourishing cream in a controlled and even band.   A healthy dose of caffeine reduces puffiness and dark circles.

Kiko Leather Magnetic Money Clip ($18):  This clip is super sturdy.  The tough leather has a natural sheen and beauty, making it the perfect medium for this elegant clip.

Gallant & Beau King Rd Socks ($20):  I love the color palette of these socks!  Turquoise, grape, lavender, and denim combine into a cool argyle ensemble.  Well-made and comfy, these have a nice medium height and semi-smooth texture.

Curated Basics Matte Tie Clip ($30):  This clip has a nice matte finish and no-nonsense design.  The clip mechanism is very aggressive — I think it would be impossible to lose this clip!

Winners Circle Fashion Co. Vlaamperd Floral Tie ($22):  This tie has a nice tight weave and silk lining.  The rose patten contains a beautiful array of tones and would perfectly complement shirts ranging from the deepest purple, burgundy, lilac, pink, and even aqua.

The tie is mid-width and belt-length.

The pattern is a nice departure from geometric patterns, and it is both soft and precocious.

The Menswear Club has the classic elements of a men’s styling box, combining socks, neckwear and grooming items.    The accessories are of very high quality, so it may be worth the extra cost, given the heft of the items (e.g. thick leather money clip versus another flower lapel pin).
