Review/Giveaway: Button Up A Month Subscription

I am admittedly a very relaxed type of guy. My wife would argue that I am bum. My everyday attire when I am not in uniform usually consists of a pair of basketball shorts, a t-shirt, a pair of flip flops, and hoodie on the occasional windy day. On multiple occasions my wife has expressed to me that she wished I would dress better, or that I would at least put a little more thought into it.

When she and I first got together I wore button-ups quite often. I was still very relaxed in my style, but I put a little more effort into it. I have certainly let myself go a little. So, when the opportunity came up to introduce our readers to Button up aMonth, I jumped at it.

I thought this would be a great way to give a little more of what she was asking for. And I was not at all disappointed.

Button up a Month offers a service similar to that of renting DVDs from Netflix (except you're not renting the shirts, you're buying them). 

When you create your account on their website you go through their inventory and add shirts to your queue. Then they send you one shirt a month. Each month that they send you a shirt, you are billed $16.99 (with free shipping) and they send you the next shirt in your queue.  If there's no shirt in your queue, you're not billed. I thought the idea was genius. It’s a great way to build your wardrobe little by little, and the price is unbeatable.

I have to admit I was a little worried at first. I have always been very picky with my clothing. I have a very specific style and a very specific way I like my clothes to fit (just because I'm a bum doesn't mean I don't have strong preferences!). If it’s not perfect, I won’t spend a dime on it. 

It’s hard enough for me to find clothing that fits me in the store where I can try it on. Now I am expected to just order a shirt and hope it works out? After reading over their FAQ, I was a little more at ease about order clothing online. They allow you to return your shirts within 30 days of the ship date for sizing changes or a full refund. 

I spent hours debating over what shirts to try out. After I narrowed my list down I showed my wife which ones I was interested in and got some input from her. I ended up choosing the JP Pattern and the Radrick. I added the shirts to my que and waited. Within a few days the first shirt had shipped. 

I was quite impressed with both of them and especially liked the JP Pattern. The material is very lightweight and breathable. I even spent an evening drinking with some friends and never once felt like I needed to down grade to just my undershirt because I was too hot. 

I was very pleased with the fit as well. All of their smaller sizes (medium and large) come in an athletic fit meaning they are a semi-slim fitting shirt. Exactly the way I like my clothing to fit. The fabric fits well over my chest and falls nicely off over my stomach. 

Make sure you look over their Size Chart and don't just go by the size letters (Med-Athletic, Lg-Athletic, Lg-Reg, XL-Reg).  At a glance, you might think they can't accomodate larger men, but their XL measures out to what most brands would call XXL.

Button Up A Month is still a fairly new company and hasn't yet established a social media presence to help get the word out - hopefully, that will change, but meanwhile, go check out their website and give them a try - for $16.99 and a 30 day return policy, you really can't go wrong!
