Thanks Joses! The product is still doing really well so it's been great so far. You can order more at www.necksandbalances.com
Creator Joses on March 12
Meant pocket square.
Creator Joses on March 12
Just used the product for a wedding. Used it for a pocket stay and my tie. Looked perfect all night. Great job Jon. I'm still impressed with the product. Is there an online store to purchase more?
Creator Rick Skubic on October 3, 2012
John, I received my packs yesterday. Thanks.
Creator Jon Yeazel on September 9, 2012
Rick,
We have had some isolated instances with product not getting where it needs to go. I will make sure you get your Anchors this week. Sorry for the wait!
Jon
Creator Jon Yeazel on September 9, 2012
Thanks Cliff I'm glad you like them! We have been getting a lot of good feedback on them so it's been going well so far.
Creator Rick Skubic on September 8, 2012
John, I haven't received mine yet. Is there a problem?
Creator Cliff on September 7, 2012
Just wanted to say I love your product! It's a great idea that works well!
Creator Lawrence Wong on August 29, 2012
Just got them in today! Can't wait to try them out tomorrow! Thought you should know that your packages are getting where they need to go.
Creator Jon Yeazel on August 25, 2012
And Joses a special shout out goes out to you! I apologize for not getting back to you sooner regarding all of your inquiries. I will now be checking the comments section frequently to give and receive feedback on the product.
Creator Jon Yeazel on August 25, 2012
Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for all the feedback. Sorry I have not been very responsive lately, there has been so much going on to get all of the products moving and shipped out. I'm glad to hear that the Anchors are working as expected for those of you that have commented on them.
I am definitely open to all feedback and many of the things I have heard are already in the plans for the next batch. Packaging will be adjusted along with the way I am going to mail the product as well.
Please dont hesitate to let me know how the product is working (Good or Bad). Every bit helps and I am also putting together a testimonials section on the new site. I have used some of your comments already.
Thanks,
Jon
Creator Ariel Garcia on August 25, 2012
works great. Tested it out on my work attire. The only feedback i have is that maybe the packaging should be just a little larger so the anchors are fit loose in the package. Once you take them out they are pretty difficult to put back in the package. You want people to use that package constantly when traveling or getting ready. That way other people see what they are using rather than the generic white wax paper. Otherwise consider some simple N&B initials on the anchor paper. Great product thanks Jon.
Creator Paul Kelly on August 24, 2012
Mine arrived yesterday. I will try them out this weekend.
Creator Eyal on August 24, 2012
Got mine today! Thank you!
It's still too hot here to use for what I had in mind (keep a nice suit sleeve/shirt showing) but it's looking nice and I'm looking forward to trying them once we get back to jacket weather.
Creator Michael Phillips on August 23, 2012
I just received mine. I haven't used one yet. My only comment would be packaging, and to piggyback on where Joses is going. Some people might need directions. You might want to use bigger packaging in retail stores to catch some eyes; perhaps you throw some cartoon drawings or pictures of a model showing simple steps to application. Consumers can not only see how easy it is to apply, but also more of what the product is.
Creator Joses on August 22, 2012
Initial impression. Packaging is nice. Small, simple, portable. There should maybe be a link to the video you have here or another with an instructional, for those that have never seen it demonstrated. Although simple to use, some might need it haha. I have yet to test it out though, but i am excited to and can't wait to use it for the wedding i'm going to next month.
Will update with result.
Thanks Jon! Good lookin' product you have here.
I hope for your continued success.
Creator Joses on August 22, 2012
Just got it in the mail!
Creator Joses on August 22, 2012
These were supposed to be delivered 2 days ago?
just checking to see what's goin on.
is there a delay?
Creator Joses on August 16, 2012
How're we lookin Jon?
Creator Joses on August 12, 2012
oh shoot. 8 days left.
Creator Joses on July 31, 2012
Hey john, i did just get an email this morning asking for my address though.
Creator John Chen on July 31, 2012
Thank you Joses, I'm merely curious to the email that Jon highlighted in his statement "I sent out a message to all our backers a few days ago explaining some of this but it may have slipped by some of you through your email inboxes so hopefully this reaches more of you." I didn't get it, so I asked. it's my first time backing a project, sorry for the extra questions.
Creator Joses on July 31, 2012
i don't think we got the email yet john chen.
Creator John Chen on July 30, 2012
Jon, I seem to be one of those who can't find your email at my inbox, can i just confirm with you the email address you sent via? Thanks.
Creator Alan Segel on July 26, 2012
Jon,
Great concept. Looking forward to getting my pack. Here's a usage suggestion...stick one between the 2nd and 3rd button on a dress shirt placket so your collar opens perfectly. When wearing my collar open I always find it too tight when I leave one button unbuttoned. If I open it two buttons then I look like a Salsa dancer. Something in between would be just right. Could have used them tonight.
Regards,
Alan
Creator Joses on July 25, 2012
sweet. thanks for the update jon.
Creator Jon Yeazel on July 25, 2012
Joses,
On each reward section that I listed as "August" for the estimated delivery time it did not necessarily mean the product would arrive by August. Kickstarter only allows you to list the delivery time by month, not a specific day. I know for sure everyone will have the product delivered to them by August 20th. I understand how the "August" label may have been confusing to some people so I'm glad you prompted a response from me so anyone else who was wondering the same thing can get updated as well.
I sent out a message to all our backers a few days ago explaining some of this but it may have slipped by some of you through your email inboxes so hopefully this reaches more of you.
Packaging is being ordered tomorrow and the Anchors should be coming in within the next 10 days for sure. There is also a 14 day holding period through Amazon of all the money so this puts another slight delay on getting the more expensive aspects of the manufacturing taken care of.
I hope this helps clear everything up and if anyone else has any questions please leave a comment so everyone can see my response.
Thanks,
Jon
Creator Joses on July 25, 2012
can we get an update jon? where does the project stand? manufacturing? distribution?
August is in 6 days.
Creator Brenda on July 24, 2012
Congratulations Jon!! I'm so excited you hit your goal!!
Creator Michael on July 22, 2012
Congrats on the project I expected you to succeed! @MichaelFerrera
Creator Joses on July 22, 2012
When can we expect them Jon?
Creator John Chen on July 20, 2012
Hi Jon, I have changed my pledge to US$110. thank you.
Creator Michael Phillips on July 20, 2012
Almost there!
Creator Jon Yeazel on July 20, 2012
John,
All of my international backers have been giving an extra $10-$15 so that will usually cover the shipping to almost anywhere. Thanks so much for the pledge! We should be hitting our goal tonight now hopefully.
Creator John Chen on July 19, 2012
Hi Jon, nice product, I have just backed US$100 for 2x US$50 reward. However I don't see you including any shipping cost in there (i'm from Taiwan), so does that mean international shipping is free this time? thanks mate, hope you get the rest 250 in no time. :)
Creator Jon Yeazel on July 19, 2012
Thanks Honey! Couldn't have done it without you :) (and all my awesome backers!)
Creator Vunzai Yeazel on July 19, 2012
Yay Honey only $500 smackers to go ! I am so proud of you :)
Creator Jon Yeazel on July 19, 2012
@Arik, I hope we get there too! getting kind of nervous at this point but I think we should be alright. If we don't end up getting funded you can go to necksandbalances.com where I will have the option to buy the product from there as soon as I am able to get some inventory levels built up.
Thanks
Creator Jon Yeazel on July 19, 2012
@Humbert, Thanks for the pledge I hope you enjoy the product!
Creator Arik Yeo on July 19, 2012
I sincerely hope to see this happen.. Its currently so close, yet so far. This will definitely help me save time on constantly re-adjusting my suit on the go. However, if this is really unsuccessful, where can I order this wonderful item?
Creator Humbert on July 18, 2012
Looking forward to getting this product!
Creator Joses on July 15, 2012
5 days and about $1900. make it happen!
Creator Gertrude Musaindapo on July 7, 2012
I love the dots, I have so many clothes in my closet I can not wear because the hems have unraveled and I am a busy executive with no time to go to a tailor, or threading the needle and stitching them myself. I can not wait to get my Fahion Anchors in the mail and maybe someday you can produce a line specifically for women!
Creator Dorothy Hall on June 28, 2012
This comment is for Nancy...You made a really good point about how women can use these too. We've all dealt with blouses that gap open when ever you dare to move. And when you use safety pins, it looks very obvious and also ruins the fabric. So Nancy, be sure to steal a few when your husband gets his in the mail!
Thanks for backing Jon's idea...I happen to be his proud mom and I'm excited to see all his research and hard work is paying off as he launches his new business!
Creator Jon Yeazel on June 27, 2012
Jake, Thanks for the post! I appreciate all the feedback.
Creator Jake Kenna on June 27, 2012
Love the idea, really hoping this goes through and is successful on kickstarter. Best of luck to you Jon!
Creator Jon Yeazel on June 26, 2012
Nancy, I hope you don't mind but I posted your comment to my Necks & Balances Fan Page on Facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/NecksBalances
Thanks for the comment and I hope your hubby loves them!
Creator Nancy Edelstein on June 26, 2012
Jon, This is a great idea. Not just for men but women too. My husband fell in love with wurkin stiffs metal/magnet collar stays. He's going to be crazy about this! Another great thing to use them for is in between buttons on your shirt. My husband is always using a safety pin to put in between buttons - if you unbutton too far it looks silly and when you button the next one up it's too high. Women have the same problem. I love your idea - All I have to say is Why Didn't I Think of That!!!! Good Luck!
Creator Kevin McClure on June 26, 2012
I think your on to something here Jon. I can't tell you how frustrated I get about collar stays....I'm always losing them, bending them, finding them on the floor, etc....I'm excited to try the product out and not have to worry about my collars or ties at work events.
Creator Jon Yeazel on June 25, 2012
Hi Vincent, Glad you like the product man! The adhesive was developed to be mess free and lock to any type of fabric from the most basic cotton to the finest wools.
As for the tie I get all of my ties from thetiebar.com where every single tie they sell is $15 and pocket squares are $10 and under. I have a few great combinations i have gotten from them so if you want some ideas I'm more than willing to give you some great combinations.
As someone who pays very much attention to the way I dress, I can tell you first hand that you can put their ties up with almost any major tie brands that are 4 or 5 times the price!
Hope this helps Vincent. let me know if you need anything else or if you need me to answer any of your questions more thoroughly.
