Bombshell (men's clothing subscription) box #1

With all my boxes coming in (especially Stitch Fix!) my husband was getting a little jealous and decided to try out his own subscription clothing service.  We looked around at some different ones and decided to try Bombshell. 

 

Bombshell is a monthly clothing box that is completely free of charge for the service (unlike Stitch Fix that charges a styling fee).  They come once a month and you get an email with a preview of what you will be receiving so if you are not impressed you can decline the box before it is even shipped.  The prices are in the $50-$100 range and my husband filled out a very limited style profile. 

 

I was a little skeptical honestly on the whole thing being worth my husbands time, as he is mostly a jeans a tee shirts guy and wears a polo or button down only on the odd date night.  He works at a bank with provided clothing and he's not allowed to deviate from that so he has no need for work clothes.  I was on the fence with our money being spent on basic hoodies and tees in that price range when we could get the same thing at Target or Old Navy (he is not a brand name or style kinda guy).

 

In the end it was "eh".  He is open to trying it again in the fall or winter to hopefully get some nice sweaters or jeans.  He is also slightly  heavier then he would like so he isn't in the best mindset to be getting new clothes (I think we have all been there!).

 

He didn't want to pose with any of the clothes on but I did take pics of them:) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Item #1- Diamonds long sleeve shirt in blue china print

$89

Thoughts: Was slim in the arms (my husband has big biceps though) and really similar to his work shirts he is required to wear at his bank.  High price for a dress shirt that is kinda blah. He was in the market for more casual wear.

 

 

 

 

 

Item #2- General Assembly hooded sweater

$59

Thoughts: At first glance this was something my husband really liked!  It was casual but was nicer then a hoodie.  Unfortunately it was ITCHY!  It was wool and even with an undershirt it was really scratchy.  Also, it is June and this was heavier then anything he wanted right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Item #3- Howe striped blazer

$179

Thoughts: the price was really high so he didn't even want to try it on.  Once he did we both had to laugh- it was very hipster and not my husband's sporty causal style at all. 

 

 

 

 

Final Thoughts:  The service is great in that it doesn't charge a fee and I think someone looking for dressier items would have better luck.   Also, you have a full week or so to return the items which is nice.  My husband said he will definitely give it another chance since it doesn't cost anything.  He wants to lose just a little more weight and wait until the weather changes a little since he has so many summer clothes.

 

(we received no compensation or gifts of any kind for reviewing this service).
