Collars and Co: Everything You Need to Know

The collar of a shirt is often one of the most noticeable items in clothing and either stands out or doesn’t. Born out of a clothing need and miss on the market, the founders at Collars and Co set out to right the wrong in clothing which had been sitting there for decades. With this new option now available and growing, it was time to bring in some investors, of course those from Shark Tank. Let’s find out more about the company, the founder and where they are now.

What exactly is Collars and Co?

According to their website, Collars and Co set out to solve a problem. The problem was that men were uncomfortable wearing dress shirts under sweaters. it made them feel warm and bulky. They knew there had to be a better way and Collars and Co was born!

They worked for a year searching for just the right fabrics, materials and designs. The key was to “create the perfect buttery soft polo with a standard English spread collar.” It’s all about the spread of the collar.

Who is the Owner/Founder of Collars and Co?

The founder of the company is Justin Baer who is from Bethesda, Maryland. It was founded in March of 2021 and he is not a newcomer to the world of entrepreneurship. According to Justin’s Linkedin, he has founded a number of companies including Check In Easy, TeachingProAcademy.com, and Member Text.
