ASKET Review: What to Buy and What to Avoid

In this hands-on ASKET review, I’ll tell you about my experience with this unique menswear brand to help you decide it’s right for you.

As a menswear brand, ASKET checks a lot of the right boxes for me:
  • Shorter sizes
  • Timeless aesthetic
  • High quality
  • Responsible manufacturing
  • Transparent pricing

As a brand, ASKET kind of reminds me of Everlane (one of the first clothing companies to focus on quality basics and transparency).

AI01

It’s no wonder that I’m drawn to both of these brands, especially since my personal style is pretty basic.

I don’t think menswear is actually “timeless”, but I do think you can buy clothing that will hold up and look stylish for years, or even decades, and at this point in my life, that’s what I try to do.

I simply don’t feel good buying and wearing fast fashion clothing. It’s not as comfortable or durable. Plus, if a t-shirt arrives at your doorstep for like $10, you better believe that someone got screwed in the process of getting it there (probably the person who grew the cotton or stitched it together).

So, I love ASKET’s mission. I love the brand and aesthetic. But none of this matters if the clothes don’t fit, right? After all, if your clothes don’t fit, you’re not going to look good, no matter how high quality they are.

What I Tried

To date, I’ve tried on the following items from ASKET:

  • Jeans
  • Chinos
  • Oxford shirt
  • Sweatshirt
  • T-shirt
  • Long sleeve t-shirt
  • Overshirt
  • Merino sweater
  • Woven belt

Some of these have become wardrobe staples, while others have been sold or donated.

Read on to find out which ASKET items I wear regularly, and which ones I decided to part with.

All of these pieces felt like they were expertly constructed made from high quality materials, but I did have to part with a few things that just didn’t fit my build.

Speaking of which, I’m about 5’6” with shoes on and 120 lbs soaking wet. According to ASKET’s Size Finder, I should wear XS/Short (or XS/Regular) tops and Slim 28×30 bottoms.
