3What made you do a Kickstarter for the new line? 

We wanted to some up with a selection that men would want to wear. Our idea was to have this interactive platform where guys could vote on their favorite designs and get what they wanted. It was all around a great way to connect with our audience and do something a little out of the ordinary!

You have having people vote on the new collection, are you energized or scared about having your fans choose the new collection?

We’re loving it! Our customers have a great sense of style, and by seeing what their taste are, we feel like we’re getting to know them even more.

What are some of the levels in the Kickstarter?

We tried to make our rewards the most fun and attractive possible. It goes from 1 pair of underwear at $20 (shipping included) to levels where people can come hang out with us at one of our photo-shoots or customize 3 pairs to their unique liking.

The biggest is the “Be a Model”  has anyone claimed this level? Why did you choose to include it? 

Yes! Someone already pledged for this level and will be flown to Vancouver for a special photo shoot session where he will be the star of the shoot! We’ll also spend some time together and make sure he gets the time of his life! We thought it was a wonderful way to connect on a deeper level with our fans. There is nothing like honoring our fans and making them the stars of our brand.

When does the Kickstarter end?

The campaign ends on January 10th, 2014 – so there is 25 days to go and for people to enjoy great rewards. We’re aiming at shipping the second collection out early February, so that backers can get their premium undies for Valentine’s day!

Have you ever wanted to help an underwear company come up with new pairs? Then you need to check out Garcon Model new Kickstarter campaign. Right now they are allowing people to vote for their favorite designs and then the most popular will be made into underwear. I can’t remember any brand putting up and letting their customers pick what should be included in their next collection. I think this is an amazing thing for them to do. How many times do we wish we could get our favorite brand to listen to our opinion?

I know there are many times when I want to say, hey do this. Luckily having the blog I have done this occasionally. Brands listen but I’d like to think I have more power in the industry, but there are still pairs I want to see made! But, Garcon Model is giving you that power, make sure you vote and give money to make this happen. They have some amazing rewards.

Here is part of the write up on Kickstarter:

Why Do We Need Your Help?

Your support (and yes by support we mean your money in exchange for sheer awesomeness), will allow us to keep moving forward. The more money we collect, the more styles we can manufacture and the more choices we can offer YOU!

Please support at whatever level you’re comfortable with. We’ll pay you back with some really fantastic underwear, crafted for comfort with super-high quality materials you’re going to love.

We’ve priced our REWARDS to make sure we bring you great value. Our goal is to get our product in the most hands and also to bring you the underwear you really want.

As a start up, we’re not able to compete with $2-3 underwear the big brands get. BUT what we loose in competitive pricing, we earn in quality control and ensuring we deliver you the best product we’ve encountered in men’s underwear. And, believe us, we’ve tried them all!

Here is the breakdown of what Kickstarter money will be used for:

  • Manufacturing (40%)
  • Freight (1%)
  • Taxes (2%)
  • Customs (9%)
  • Photo-shoot (4%)
  • Shipping (20%)
  • Additional inventory (18%)
  • Others: web hosting, merchant fees, storage, logistics, etc.. (6%)

Our goal is to reach $10,000 to bring 20 new styles to life. So help us out by pre-ordering your underwear today. And share with your friends to help us reach our goal.

The important thing to remember with Kickstarter is that we need to reach our full funding goal or we get nothing.
