Trunk Club #3

Here is another of my favorite posts to write!  D received his 3rd Trunk Club box this week and as usual was kind enough to model the contents.

Trunk Club is a personalized styling service for men.  There is no cost for the service (unlike stitch fix), shipping is free both ways, and you work with the same stylist over time to discuss fit and any requests.  You are only charged for the items you want to keep.

Here are the items in D's 3rd trunk (some photos contain 2 items):

Kazu Madras Plaid Button Down by Life After Denim
Normandie Slim Straight Pants in Charcoal by Paige Denim
D actually liked the pattern of this shirt, but it was a little too small for him and the sleeves were too short.  He also liked the charcoal pants even though they were a tad on the slimmer side of what he normally wears.  Since the fabric was a cotton/spandex blend, they will probably only get slimmer after washing.  Status: Returned


Perfect Sportshirt Check in Blue by J Press
Normandie Japanese Twill Pants in Navy by Paige Denim
This was the surprise outfit of the trunk!  D usually is not a fan of blue clothes, but he really liked this button down and how it looked with the dark blue pants.  The fit of the pants was a little better than the grey pair.  Now that D knows possibly likes navy blue pants, he can find some at a lower price in the style he usually buys.  Status:  Shirt - KEPT, Pants - Returned


Short Sleeve Wagner Henley in Gray by Alternative Apparel
The shirt had a great fit since it was basically a t-shirt with a fancy neckline.  D did not like the neckline.  Status: Returned


Light Weight Merino Half Zip in Light Gray by Jeremy Argyle
This is a lighter version of the half zip up sweaters D loves.  He ended up keeping a brown and black one from his previous two trunks.  Since he doesn't need any more of these, we mentioned that in our feedback.  Status: Returned


Slim Fit Shirt by John Varvatos
This "slim fit" shirt was very big and not slim fitting at all.   Status: Returned


Elton Crew by Billy Reid
I thought this was cute.  D did not.  Status: Returned 


There was good variety in this trunk, and D will now be on the lookout to find similar pants to those sent.  He also has a new shirt in his wardrobe which he probably wouldn't have found if shopping on his own.  The note from the stylist mentioned she was sending a blazer she thought would perfect for D but it wasn't included.  We mentioned its absense and requested to have it sent our way if it was still available.  That means another trunk might be heading our way very soon….

Has anyone else tried Trunk Club?  What do you think?
