ThreadBeast Review: Modern Streetwear Delivered to Your Home

Many people believe that men don’t like to shop.

The truth is that men do like to shop for things they want. However, the process has to be seamless and painless for men to truly enjoy it.

Men like to go into a store, find what they need, and leave. 

But when it comes to clothes shopping, the process isn’t so simple, especially in a department store.

With their maze-like layouts, huge selection of clothing and designers, and long lines, department stores make the process too complicated and overwhelming.

And, when they do need new clothes, research shows men are more likely to shop from their mobile devices.

That’s why I like using convenient clothing subscription services such as ThreadBeast.

What is ThreadBeast

ThreadBeast is a men’s subscription service that launched in 2015 to fill a much-needed gap in the retail world – delivering high-quality streetwear directly to men who hated shopping at the mall. 

Each month, you will receive a personalized box of clothing, shoes, and/or accessories that caters to your style, sizes, and personality.

Although ThreadBeast targets men who are in the 18-25 age range, their selection of clothing is appealing to men of all ages who like streetwear.

Their packages are created with partnerships that include today’s most influential and trendsetting brands to ensure you are always with the latest and most fashionable streetwear.

What is Streetwear?

the hundreds by Threadbeast

Streetwear is a style of casual clothing that was born out of the New York hip-hop culture in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Over the years, it has grown to include elements of Los Angeles skate and surf cultures and Japanese street fashion.

Common streetwear includes graphic t-shirts, jeans, shorts, hoodies, sweatshirts, baseball caps, athletic apparel, and sneakers.

How Does ThreadBeast Work?

To get started with ThreadBeast you have to set up your profile. I will walk you through the steps and let you know which options I chose.

Step 1 – What is your style?

In this step, you select your waist (28 -44) and inseam sizes (30 -34). If you are very tall or very short, you may not be able to get pants that are the proper length due to the limited sizes available. My choice: 32×30.

Step 7 – What is your shoe size?

Step 8 – What is your height?

Step 9 – How much do you weigh?

In this step, you will elect your weight from 70 lbs to 400+ lbs. Keep in mind that the options increase by increments of 5 lbs. Once again, this question is optional, but answering it will help your style assistant select clothing that will fit and flatter your body type. My choice: 170 lbs.

Step 10 – Are you on Instagram?

Is ThreadBeast Good?

ThreadBeast is a good choice if you specifically want streetwear. I do not recommend this service if prefer dressier clothing. 

Although my style is usually more upscale, I periodically enjoy wearing streetwear because it is comfortable and stylish.

I choose the Essential Plan and my box arrived about 7 days after I placed my order.

The box included the following items:

  • Flannel shirt by Levi’s,
  • T-Shirt by Hurley
  • T-Shirt by Staple
  • Hoodie by Hundreds
  • Jeans by DKNY

The quality of the products was good and the total value was much more than the $85 I paid for the box.

My favorite items in the box were the Staple T-shirt and the Hundreds hoodie. I see myself wearing these items over and over.

I plan to wear the Levi’s flannel shirt only during Rodeo season in Houston.

I didn’t like the fit of the DKNY jeans. They were too loose in the waist. I may take them to my tailor for alternations. If not, I will donate them.

I probably won’t ever wear the Hurley T-shirt. I’ll give it to my 17-year old son who likes the brand. I’m sure he’ll end up stealing a few more of these pieces because streetwear is his daily wardrobe.

How to Cancel Threadbeast

Canceling your Threadbeast subscription is more difficult than it needs to be. They do not accept cancellations via the live chat on their website, only via e-mail.

To cancel ThreadBeast, you must send an e-mail to [email protected] from the email address you signed up with. You must do this within 7 days of receiving your package.

But the process doesn’t end there.

Next, they must verify your account is eligible to cancel. To do this, you must call Threadbeast at the number they e-mail you to cancel the account. 

After you cancel, ThreadBeast will try to entice you to rejoin by sending you discounts via e-mail.

Final Thoughts on ThreadBeast

ThreadBeast is a convenient service that delivers streetwear directly to your door. If you hate going to the mall, then this service is exactly what you need.

Although I didn’t like every item in the box, I feel as if the items I liked were worth the price of the box.

I plan to get my teenage son a box for his birthday. He will be thrilled to receive some of the brands that ThreadBeast partners with.
