Gentleman’s Box August 2017 Unboxing3 min read

Yo! It’s your boy Khoi, back at it again with a first look at the August 2017 Gentleman’s Box. This post will be a quick one, a simple unboxing. I will be giving my initial impressions on the products straight out of the box.a

Gentleman's Box August 2017 Unboxing | GENTLEMAN WITHIN

As you may know, every month’s box is centered around a specific theme. The August Gentleman’s Box honors our favorite space officer who is “well known for playing a half-human, half-alien on the most successful sci-fi series of all-time.” My guess is Leonard Nimoy, none other than StarTrek’s legendary Spock.

You can hit the play button below to check out the video.

GENTLEMAN’S BOX REVIEW—AUGUST 2017

GENTLEMAN COLLECTIVE NECKTIE

First up is a navy and green argyle patterned necktie. It seems argyle has fallen out of favor in the past decade. I remember rocking EXPRESS argyle sweaters when I started getting into style back in my senior year of high school.

It’s a simple, classic pattern in two shades of versatile colors, the navy more so, but the green lines make for a harmonious pairing.

The texture’s got a woolen feel, but consists of 50% cotton, 30% viscose and 20% poly-cotton blend.

RETAIL PRICE: $29

WOLF CLOTHING CO. HIGHBROW SOCKS

Every Gentleman’s Box comes with a fun pair of socks that often compliment the necktie. It’s no different this August.

The pattern is unique and for some reason made me think of King Koopa. It’s a bit out there for my tastes. I’d have been all over this a year ago, but these days I’m leaning more conservative, even with my socks. But of course there’s always a time and a place for fun socks and these will surely show off your fun and dapper side.

RETAIL PRICE: $14

MODERN MADE MAN WALLET

Perhaps my favorite item in this box is the minimalist leather wallet. It’s handcrafted in the US and made from 100% genuine leather. It’s saddle tan and is apparently waterproof.

I’m in support of brands that hand make their products through a careful attention to detail. The best part about leather like this is that overtime, the patina will make for a unique look that feels personal to you.

RETAIL PRICE: $48

GENTLEMEN ESSENTIALS BRACELET

Bracelets are a great way to add a dash of style to any look. This bracelet is simple enough, made of blue & white stone, a safe and stylish pairing. Only issue is that it’s much too big for my wrist. Looks like I’ll be gifting this one.

RETAIL PRICE: $19

Gentlemen Essentials Bracelet
A versatile essential for the modern-day gent.

BRICKELL FACE WASH

I’ve used the Brickell eye cream and gets nothing, but positive marks in my book, so I’d expect more of the same from their face wash.

It’s got aloe, geranium and coconut—all natural ingredients. It’s in a nice travel size bottle that I may have to take with me on my next trip.

RETAIL PRICE: $7

Brickell Face Wash
The perfect travel size bottle.

Is a subscription service like the Gentleman’s Box for you?

Are you an accessories guy? Does the idea of getting ties, pocket squares, socks and other sweet accessories on a monthly basis excite you? Looking to upgrade your style or change it completely? Then you may be a prime candidate. And at just $25 a month with the ability to cancel at anytime, it’s definitely worth checking out. As a bonus, you get a new issue of GQ Magazine with each box.

Remember, you can use: GENTWITHIN & Get $10 Off Your First Gentleman’s Box.

Thanks for reading and I’ll catch you on the next post!

I made the decision to get out of my comfort zone and attend conferences. It's a mental drain and a financial commitment, but I know that the gain far outweighs the loss. I'm far from where I want to be, but know that I'm exactly where I need to be. Time to work.
