About Bear Threads

I'm JD — founder of Bear Threads, and the guy who got tired of men's clothing designing us out of the picture.

You know the drill. Walk through any clothing store and the women's section is full of options — fun, flirty, bold, expressive. Then you hit the men's section. Baggy gym shorts. Boxy board shorts. Underwear that goes to your knees. Rows of clothing designed to hide the fact that you have a body at all.

I've walked past those aisles more times than I can count, and every time I thought — why can't men have more?

So I built Bear Threads.

We launched in Spring 2025 with a simple idea: men's bodies are beautiful and deserve to be shown off just as much as anyone else's. Our swimwear is designed to enhance what you've got — yes, including your bulge. Our mesh tanks and shorts are built for the peekaboo effect, using performance mesh with contrasting liners that create a 3D outline of everything underneath.

We're size inclusive up to 3XL because this isn't just for one kind of body. Regardless of your age, weight, ability, race, or identity — your body is worth celebrating.

Bear Threads is a gay and immigrant-owned small business, built with a lot of passion and zero interest in playing it safe. If you buy something, thank you — it means the world. If you don't, share us with someone who might. Every bit of support counts.

Now go find your color. 🐻
