May 2019 Basic Man Review

This shirt is just what you'd expect from a basic tee subscription like this. The shirt is plain in this great heathered teal-blue color. It fits my husband well and is soft and comfortable.

It is a 60/40 cotton-polyester blend that is pre-washed for you, so I don't expect there to be any shrinkage!

The socks that they sent coordinate well with our shirt, although they don't match perfectly which I liked. These are a blend of combed cotton, polyester and elastic and I think the teal and white waves are fun, but not too over the top in terms of their design.

These socks feel like they are great quality and they are comfortable as well.

These boxer briefs are so soft! I'm definitely jealous that I don't have underwear this soft! I like that they just have a subtle tie-in to the other items with that simple teal band at the top. This is my husband's preferred style of underwear and he reported that they were comfortable and fit well. I am always happy when he gets a new pair of underwear because it means I can throw away one of his old pairs that have seen better days! In case he has trouble parting with them in the future, they included a "Destroy by" date of April 1, 2021.

Verdict: Basic Man is a great subscription to keep men stocked up on the basics and it is so convenient getting them delivered directly to your door each month! My husband was happy with the items he received and felt like they were all decent quality. I think for $19.99/month + free shipping it's a great value, especially when you consider how soft those underwear are!

To Wrap Up:

Can I still get this box if I sign up today? The monthly shipments won't always be the same items as mine - so you can order anytime.

Value Breakdown: This box costs $19.99, meaning each of the three items has an average cost of $6.66.

I am a homeschooling mom to 4 kids; 1 girl and 3 boys. While I have been reviewing boxes since 2018 and I love the luxury of trying new products, I'm also balancing it out by dabbling in a little bit of homesteading, too. We now have 4 chickens and a rabbit and my sourdough starter is going strong! I love learning about new brands and sharing the great things I find with others in hopes that they find something new to love or to fit their needs!

I’ve been getting this for my very very picky husband for a few months and he really likes it. The T this month is a gorgeous color and he didn’t have anything like it. I’ve washed three of the shirts so far and haven’t had any problem with shrinking. The quality is lovely and those underwear are incredibly soft!

Hi.
Do you know if the billing name is Hella Basics? I just received a billing email from them and I’m pretty sure if it’s for this subscription. Thank!
