Dapper Boi Clothing Update | Shark Tank Season 14

While shopping for clothes, Charisse and Vicky Pasche struggled to find masculine styles that would comfortably fit their curvier bodies. Frustrated by this, they started Dapper Boi, a clothing brand that offers masculine designs made to fit people with curves. With over $1 million in sales, their clothes provide an affordable and inclusive option for many. Will the sharks back their vision? Let’s find out in our Dapper Boi update and pitch recap.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to Dapper Boi after Shark Tank.

Charisse and Vicky entered Shark Tank Season 14, seeking $250,000 for 5% equity in their gender-neutral clothing line. Unfortunately, they did not secure any deal with the sharks after their pitch.

In terms of a Dapper Boi update, the company secured an investment outside of the sharks, which allowed them to expand their product line and improve their direct-to-consumer model. Furthermore, Dapper Boi achieved a 71% customer retention rate and earned loyalty in its niche market.

Shark Tank Dapper Boi Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: Charisse Pasche and Vicky Pasche
• Business: Gender-neutral clothing line 
• Ask:  $250,000 for 5% equity
• Result:  No deal
• Sharks: None

Charisse and Vicky’s vision for Dapper Boi focuses on creating gender-neutral designs tailored for curvier body types, with plans to expand beyond their current pre-order model.

They explained that the funds would help boost inventory and move away from their pre-order model.

Charisse shared that when shopping for clothes, people usually have to pick from either the men’s or women’s section, but neither works for Vicky.

The sharks check out their clothing samples, and Kevin O’Leary asks why they sell directly to customers instead of through stores.

Vicky says their direct-to-consumer model works best for now, and they use social media and influencer marketing to bring in customers.

Furthermore, she explained that they started the business seven years ago with a Kickstarter campaign.

They launched it after realizing many people faced the same challenge of finding well-fitting clothes.

Moreover, their sales over the years reached $3.5 million, but they rely on pre-orders to fund production, which they revealed to the sharks posed some challenges.

In 2021, they made $1.2 million in sales, but supply chain delays and other issues left them with just $100 in the bank and $150,000 in debt.

They even sold their house to keep the business running.

Mark Cuban raised concerns about their profits. Vicky admitted they overspent on a failed marketing strategy while attempting to expand beyond their core audience.

In contrast, Daymond John praised their connection to the LGBTQ community but questioned why they’re pushing beyond it. Though he offers mentorship, he doesn’t invest.

Lori Greiner steps away, saying she doesn’t know enough about clothing, and Barbara Corcoran doubts the investment would solve their financial issues. She’s out as well.

However, Mark believes their focus should remain on their community and disagrees with their direction. He’s out.

Kevin O’Leary also declines to invest, citing the financial risk.

Before they leave, Daymond gives them his number, offering to help in other ways.

With no offers from the sharks, the entrepreneurs were forced to leave without a deal. What happened next? Keep reading our Dapper Boi update.

Our Dapper Boi update revealed that the company later secured a $250,000 investment from Kelly Ann Winget of Alternative Wealth Partners. She strongly believed in their vision for gender-neutral, size-inclusive fashion.

This funding enabled the company to expand its product line and enhance its direct-to-consumer model.

Furthermore, the brand’s commitment to inclusivity and quality has fostered a loyal customer base, boasting a 71% repeat customer rate.

At the time of this writing, Dapper Boi has an estimated net worth of $5 million. They have grown to an annual sales of $4 million.
