The box they ship in is teeny tiny; I was surprised when I pulled it out of my mailbox and wondered how they would fit much in there. So of course, curiosity got the best of me, and I had to rip into it as soon as I got home to see what was in this tiny little box! It turns out, there was quite a bit in there!
This tie seems high quality, and I love the colors. The price seems comparable to other skinny ties on the market today; it is actually on the low-end! I am not usually one to associate colors with seasons; I tend to wear what I want when I want. The colors in this box though seem to be more suited for spring. Again, it doesn't make a huge difference to me or my husband; I just thought I would comment on that!
This is a sturdy tie bar. I don't have a ton of experience with these, since my husband doesn't wear them, but this one seems very good quality. The clamp is very strong, strong enough that it left little clamp marks on the tie just during the time that I took the photographs! I wouldn't store a tie with this tie bar on it, and it will definitely keep your tie in place when you're using it.
Harrison Blake Values this watch at $60.00. I could not find this on their website, so this must be an exclusive for their box. I linked to a similar watch on ASOS for price comparison. It is a very well made, nice watch. It matches the tie and tie bar perfectly, so it makes sense that they would include this in the box. The coordination of the box is impeccable. Everything could be worn together for a well-coordinated ensemble. I could see all of these items looking great with a grey or navy suit.
This lapel pin is also not on their website. They do have many others on the site, but none with wooden petals. I think this pin is really cool! I can see these being a great way to add something unique to your suit, or even as an alternative to the fresh flower boutonnieres for a wedding party.
This is a nice quality leather bracelet. My husband does not wear them, so it will be passed along to a friend. The color complements the other items in the box well, and it was a great inclusion!
The Verdict: The stated value for this box is $140.00; that is a great value for a $25.00 box. Everything was high quality, coordinated well, and could be worn together or separately. I will mention one thing about the values: the values of similar items on the Harrison Blake website are lower than the stated values on the information card. I can see some of the items value being increased because they are an exclusive to the box, but I'm not quite sure how I feel about all of the items in the box having a higher value than those on their site. Even if they would have gone with the values listed on their website, the box value would be incredible for a $25.00 box. The colors also could be a hit or miss for you if you tend to dress according to the seasons! All in all, this was a great box, an incredible value, and had high quality menswear accessories. I would recommend giving this box a try if the style of the items seems like it fits your aesthetic!
