Lots of boxes were waiting for me when we got home from Chicago today, but the one I was most excited about was the October Bespoke Post box! We opted for “Crisp” this month (that was the “new” option this month) and while I knew what was in it, that made me even more excited to get it.
In case you aren’t familiar with them, Bespoke Post delivers fresh and interesting lifestyle brands and products to men. Each month, you’ll get to choose from their limited-edition boxes filled with an array of products built around a central, unique theme. Don’t want one that month? Just skip the month (you can opt out during the first 5 days of the month) and you won’t be charged.
Bespoke Posts ships a variety of ways, but this month’s box came via USPS and took 4 days to arrive. I have also received packages from them via UPS, which comes even faster. I think who they use to ship all depends on what is coming that month.
The box was very light this month and when I opened it this month, I was like where is everything?? But it was there, under the packing materials ;).
The October Bespoke Post selection was “Crisp” and was stocked with some key items see us through the dropping temperatures without relying on scratchy sweaters and long underwear. Here is what was included:
~Gilded Age Double-Faced Cotton Scarf, 65″ x 17″ ($119): We love this! B tried it on right away and it’s totally his new scarf this year. When we were shopping in Chicago yesterday he started looking at men’s scarves and I was like, no, no, get away from there and come look at this. He didn’t know this was coming so it was a great surprise. The scarf is very well made and soft and will work perfect for B. I know some men won’t / don’t wear scarves, but they should!
~Men in Cities Card Holder Wallet ($40): B uses a money clip thing and has a similar one like this (from Birchbox maybe), but if he’s not going to use this, I may use it for business cards to keep in my purse. That or I’ll gift it this year.
~Mack Weldon Charcoal Striped Socks ($12.50): I am probably the biggest fan of print / patterned socks there is. They are SO easy to sort and match up in the laundry. B has taken to wearing them and I couldn’t be happier about it! These aren’t too wild by any means and will work with just about anything B wears. They are also a great quality and look like they will hold up well.
~Declan Microfiber Sheet ($12.99): When someone invents a screen that doesn’t smudge, I will be the happiest girl ever. Our screens are always such a mess (L’s by far is the worst) and always need to be cleaned. I am leaving this out so that I have it handy and don’t need to go running around looking for something to clean with.
~Carmex Lip Balm + Lotion ($~$3): These will end up in B’s backpack or car for sure. He’s got some races this fall / winter still and probably could have used this at a few these past few weeks as well.
All totaled the October Bespoke Post – “Crisp” has a value of $187.49 and is, hands down, our favorite Bespoke Post box yet!! The box itself was only $45 and we would have paid well more than that for just the scarf itself! I am now even more excited to see what they do next month, but I have no idea how they could improve on this box. AMAZING.

Are you ironing the scarf, or leaving the wrinkled look?
I am just leaving it wrinkled. I think it will unwrinkle as it’s worn more too.
Just FYI – I highly value your opinion with boxes! You seem very positive but you are more likely to review the actual item and I really appreciate that. I ended up ordering this after your review. My bf, Brandon, looks similar to your B (in coloring) and he actually said he really liked that scarf. (Thanks for the 25% off code!)
Thanks for taking the time to actually review the product instead of just listed what is in the box.
I do try to be positive! Just because it’s not my taste doesn’t mean a million other people won’t love it you know?
I hope he loves the scarf when it comes! Report back!
Your hubs looks cute with those glasses! The scarf looks great too 🙂
He’ll love this! Thanks 😉
Coupon code failed to work 🙁 good post otherwise
Hmm. I just tried it and it worked for me under a new account. Did you enter it all in caps? LONELY20 will also work for 20% off, but WINGMAN for 25% (if you can get it to work) is obviously better.
I loved this box…ordered for my husband and son! I think they’ll love it too. I need tying tips for men’s scarves though!
The card has some!!!
Just wanted to note that those Mack Weldon socks that came w/ this box fell apart after about 2 wears. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone…
