Basic Man is a men's subscription that aims to send men basic essentials on a monthly basis. You'll get a new shirt, pair of socks, and underwear in each shipment. They offer sizes XS through XXL, although the socks are one size fits all (for sizes 8-12). You can also choose between boxers or briefs for the underwear style.

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.
