How Shark Tank’s Collars and Co. started
Collars and Co. is a direct-to-consumer men's fashion brand that makes polo shirts and dress collars. It was founded by entrepreneur Justin Baer in March 2021 to ease dressing up for men.
The idea for a stretchable and breathable shirt came after Justin started feeling uncomfortable wearing shirts inside sweaters and jackets every day while going to work in NYC.
He said that his usual shirt would make him feel uncomfortable, and added that getting his dress shirt dry cleaned so often was proving to be an expensive affair for him. To find a solution for the same, Justin created polo shirts and dress collars
After starting Collars & Co Company last year, he received orders for 500 shirts, but his business grew after a video of a his brand’s shirt went viral on Tiktok. Justin created an account for his company on Tiktok and made a video of his product with his then-7-year-old daughter in April 2021.
After the video went viral, his company was bombarded with orders. He reportedly made $40,000 in revenue in the first month of the video’s release. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the supply chain and his business suffered a lot.
Justin is now looking for investors in Shark Tank to help his business grow and expand.
