Bespoke post’s usual monthly Box of Awesome runs $45. Not $479. So it’s not like you can click over and select this “Ultimate” option from one of the many curated boxes currently available. But Bespoke Post has expanded beyond doing just their monthly subscription service, and are now offering a bunch of tempting goods in their online store. Since this is the season of travelling and holiday get-togethers, we asked Bespoke Post if we could do a giveaway of goods appropriate for this time of year. They agreed. What follows are the items we hand-picked, with the intent on getting the winner on their way to where they need to go, all while looking great in the process. Happy holidays guys. Good luck!
TM1985 Waxed Canvas & Leather Bottom Military Duffel – $125
Made in the USA from a military inspired design. Incredibly solid feeling waxed canvas, and the oiled leather base, along with looking fantastic, offers even more protection when stood upright on the ground The barrel style closes at the top by way of grommets folded over a center post, of which the antiqued finish hardware of the shoulder strap clips to. The top grab handle and extra side zip pocket on the exterior are two welcome extras. Extremely good looking and feeling. Hard to believe that the entry level, all (non-waxed) canvas version is just $45. But, since we’re not ashamed to shoot for the moon, we asked for the premium version seen here. And they obliged.
Armogan Spirit of St. Louis Chrono w/ Black Suede Strap – $199
The black suede strap version is an exclusive to Bespoke Post. The Spirit of St. Louis chrono gets mentioned a lot on this website, but look at it. If you like chronographs, and you like the simplicity of the designs that came before the voltron-like, clunky and brash watch looks produced today, then it’ll be right up your alley. Miyota quartz and mineral glass isn’t a combination that usually reaches the two hundred dollar price point, but the movement is dependable, the crystal is slightly domed, and the aesthetics of its silver dial will make up for it for many. Also worth a note: Armogan is now shipping these with a pretty slick travel case.
“Refresh” Box (Blue Claw Dopp + goods) – $45
Like the bag, made in the USA from Waxed canvas and leather accents. Bright blue water resistant lining and easy sliding YKK zipper. A terrific upgrade to those overpriced, faux-leather department store dopp kits that often get gifted this time of year. Plus this one comes with useful grooming goods like Cremo Face Wash, Paul Mitchell Styling Clay, Marvis mint toothpaste, and more. Currently available as a box to purchase on Bespoke Post. Review of this box can be found here.
Merino Wool Blackwatch Scarf (part of the “Brisk” box) – $45
Ultra-fine merino wool that’s starting to creep up on Cashmere-like softness. No itch to be had here. Plus the generous 15″ x 72″ dimensions means you can wrap up how you’d like without running short on scarf. Classic black watch pattern.
Cashmere Blend Beanie in Grey by “Men in Cities” – $40
No pom-pom or goofy graphics. Plus the 30% cashmere / 70% wool blend is more cashmere than most wool/cashmere blend caps. It’ll go well with the scarf, without invoking that too-coordinated (aka “matchy matchy”) look that comes with cheap matching tie and pocket square sets
Bull & Stash Leather Journal -$25
Perfect for packing lists, writing down your New Year’s Resolutions, or as a much needed “hey, I’m working on something so I’m good without the small talk” signal to any seat neighbors on the plane or train. Super soft leather cover.
