We have covered many custom suit companies here on TPL, but one that always intrigued me specifically was Michael Andrews Bespoke. I had always heard good things about it, knew a few people who were quite happy (and looked phenomenal) in their clothes, and there are few shops in NYC that feel comfortable referring to themselves as true “bespoke”, so it was something I was keen to try, especially at what seemed to be quite reasonable prices for what you were getting…
Read moreSenszio Take 2: Two More Great Custom Suits In Review
In the never-ending quest for tailored perfection, Senszio is attempting to etch its name as a haven where craftsmanship and affordability intertwine seamlessly. For my latest suit with them I chose a double-breasted linen suit, the epitome of summer sophistication; my past experiences with Senszio had paved the way for eager expectations…
Read moreReview: Senszio Custom Suiting
Somehow Senszio has flown beneath my radar for years. They are a custom suiting company based out of Hong Kong that has been in business for decades, and now continues as a family business. They do trunk shows throughout the year in the US — and are currently in the middle of one (September 19th, 2022) so reach out from their site if you would like to schedule an appointment with them! — and offer MTM services to their overseas clients. In India they offer full, true bespoke…
Read moreReview: All He Loves ‘Unwind’ Box
Well, this is the second of our reviews of the latest contender in the men’s subscription box space, All He Loves. Read our first review before reading this one! After last time, we concluded that it really was a solid box, following in the steps of Bespoke Post, but without the customization elements. They produced a great collection of themed items though that we were happy to receive…
Read moreThe GQ "Best Stuff" Box For April 2019 — Hims, Face Washes, House 99, & Lots More!! But Is It Worth It???
As soon as we heard that GQ would be getting into the subscription box game, you knew, of course that we would have to take a look and review it for you guys. We were, as it happens, super, super impressed with the first three boxes, and now it’s time to take a look at their fourth. GQ’s box delivers every quarter, as opposed to the more common monthly boxes you might be used to…
Read moreA Review of SPOKE Trousers + Polo Shirts
A new, rather interesting company launched recently. It’s called SPOKE and it’s based out of London. As is implied by their name (be-spoke), they want to offer a more custom, tailored, precise fit for various garments of clothing. They’re starting with pants, cords, and polos…
Read moreA Review Of The GQ "Best Stuff" Box For September 2018
As soon as we heard that GQ would be getting into the subscription box game, you knew, of course that we would have to take a look and review it for you guys. We were, as it happens, super, super impressed with the first box as well as the second. And, now, the third box has arrived. GQ’s box delivers every quarter, as opposed to the more common monthly boxes you might be used to. It’s called, as always, the GQ “Best Stuff Box” and it will run you $50 per box, or $190 if you sign up for a whole year of them.

Read moreBespoke Post Review 4.0: Conclusion, Comparison, & the Bundle Box
Well, we’ve now spent quite a bit of time with Bespoke Post. While at the start of this all I was a bit skeptical of the much higher price tag for Bespoke Post at $45 compared to the $25 or so that Gentleman’s Box or SprezzaBox costs, I think I have fully reversed my position on the matter...
