Jon Boos and his wife Amie embarked on their entrepreneurial journey in 2006, starting by selling Würkin Stiffs from their car. With their newborn baby by their side, they bravely took on the challenge of introducing their product to the market, personally visiting men's specialty shops and pitching their innovative collar stays door-to-door. Their unwavering determination and grit helped them transition from local boutiques to major retailers, marking the beginning of their successful journey in the world of business.

While getting dressed one evening, Jonathan Boos found himself frustrated beyond belief with his collar. It was a constant battle—whether you call it a "flyaway collar" or "bacon collar," it just wouldn’t stay in place. Fed up and ready to toss all of his collared shirts out the window, Jonathan had a lightbulb moment. What if there was a collar stay that actually kept your collar exactly where you wanted it? And just like that, the idea for Würkin Stiffs was born—an innovation that would change the way collars stayed put, once and for all.

In a game-changing moment for the brand, Würkin Stiffs made a splash on Shark Tank in Season 2, Episode 1, captivating the Sharks with their innovative products and entrepreneurial spirit. The pitch led to an exciting offer from two of the Sharks—Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John—marking a pivotal moment in the company’s journey. This high-profile appearance not only boosted brand visibility but also opened doors to new opportunities and collaborations, taking Würkin Stiffs to the next level of success.
