Bear Skn launched a pride collection this week, it’s called the Backwoods Pride. Bear Skn makes undies for all guys regardless of size!

Designer: Bjorn Ryan-Gorman

Inspiration: 

We have talked about doing a pride print for years. But I didn’t want just the rainbow flag. I felt that this has been done a lot and I wanted to do something fresh. We started the bear skn brand with our first prints being a traditional red/black Backwoods plaid and it continues to be one the favorite prints. So when I approached the idea of a pride I wanted to design something that I  would be excited to wear. When I mocked up just the rainbow flag I wasn’t a fan. It wasn’t until I decided to combine it with our backwoods plaid that I knew we had a winner. It has now become one of my personal favorite prints. I am so excited for this release. I believe we got this one right. It was important for me when designing this one that it would be something that our customers would be excited about and proud to wear. The pride backwoods is the most anticipated print to release this year and I expect it to sell out. 

After their successful Kickstarter in 2014 the guys from Bear Skn are back with a new way to deliver their amazing underwear. They have launched another Kickstarter campaign to kick off their Underwear of the Month Club!

Bear Skn was born out of a desire to provide more comfortable underwear for big bodies.  Setting itself apart from the entire underwear industry Bear Skn celebrates people of size. Being comfortable in who you are has been a core value and driving force behind everything Bear Skn does.  So from the beginning, it was important to show the real bodies the underwear was designed for.  Bear Skn celebrates bigger bodies by not only providing products that fit, offering up to size 6XL, but showing diverse body types in all its marketing and social media. A quick browse through any Bear Skn social media channel, @bear_skn Instagram, @BearSkn Twitter, and Bear Skn on Facebook, you will see lots of bodies you normally do not see from any other underwear brand. “We started by doing our own photo shoots, but the photos we get from our fans are so much more popular” Bjorn Ryan-Gorman, Bear Skn Creative Director.

“Before we started Bear Skn we would look at a package of plus size underwear and it had the same model you see on the smalls and I always thought well this is not the same underwear, how do I know what its going to look like on me?” Jody Koenig, Bear Skn Co-Founder and Operations Manager.

Men should be comfortable in their own skin and even more comfortable in their underwear. Bear Skn is on a mission to make that a reality. Repositioned seams, fabric that moves the way you move, signature double layer of mesh for extra air flow and durability right where you need it the most all with no tag. “I wanted to see men that looked like me in the underwear I was about to buy.”  In the past 3 years running Bear Skn, Co-Founder Jody Koenig has learned that they weren’t alone in their quest for comfortable underwear.

Underwear is the one piece of clothing that you spend the most time in and its closest to you during the day so its important that you feel good in it.  One of the best feelings in the world is putting on a new pair of underwear and we believe that everyone should get that experience. Just because you are a bigger person you should not be unable to have this experience. An underwear subscription is the best way to have a new pair of underwear delivered to you each month packed with comfort. An underwear subscription is a fun way for customers to get a new pair of underwear in the mail each month and it also helps us at Bear Skn continue to provide new designs.

What people are saying about Bear Skn;

“Great boxers. Now I have almost every color. Great fit and comfort even in hot south Texas weather.” – Ken M.

“The boxer briefs are super soft and comfortable. They fit me very well. I will be ordering more soon.” -Timothy A.

Using the Kickstarter exclusive pricing you can refresh your underwear drawer with a new pair each month. Limited “Early Bird” deals, so be sure to back this campaign quickly before they are gone.

Bear Skn, the brand making comfortable underwear for men of size just launched a new collection for summer. They took all the best features of their other products and combined them for new bamboo drawers with sizes to 6X.

Whether you’re a traditionalist who likes the old school brief, or a fan of the boxer brief, you’ll find something here that works for you. Choose from green, red, or blue (greenery, river blue, or tangerine), as well as striped or solid patterns, and you’re good to go.

Knowing that fit is vital to big guys, they focused on making sure that no matter what you’re doing in their underwear, you’ll always be comfortable.

[The new brief offers] 4-way stretch and is form-fitting, but does not constrict at all. It’s also cool to the touch, ultra breathable, moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and generally amazing.

It’s also tagless, which means no scratchy badness to deal with. The new Bear Skn bamboo collection starts at $19.99 and $22.99 for solid briefs and boxer briefs, respectively, and $24.99 for the striped versions. Three packs are also available.

One thing we hear all the time is that guys of all sizes want great underwear. I know very few guys who look like underwear models, myself included. I have gone through my ups and downs and some brands I can wear while others I can’t. I will admit I do get frustrated that some of the amazing underwear and swim I can’t wear.

The growing market is for the “bears.” Which if you’re not familar its a guy who’s bigger in size and you can Google for all the descriptions. Trust me there is too much to go into. But I have talked to many guys who get frustrated as I do that bigger guys are only has boxer briefs. I am not a big fan of them and hate when the only size.

Here is what BearSkn has to say about the Standard Issue Brief: “Standard Issue Brief was made to fit the needs of every guy, both big and small. Perfect for active guys, its four-way stretch cotton and elastane blended fabric eliminates sagging and stretching, while a comfortable pouch gently holds your most delicate parts in place without unnecessary constriction; meanwhile, a double layer of mesh between the legs increases airflow while seamed stitches on the waistband reduces unwanted rollover.”

The sizing is for all guys. It range from Small to 6XL. That’s right we said 6XL. So underwear for all guys is moving mainstream. The brief retails for $20 and is available in 5 colors. To find out about the brand or shop the Standard Issue Brief, check out the BearSkn site.
