About Portland Gear

Immersed in the soul of Portland, Marcus Harvey started Portland Gear in 2014. With a background in digital art and business, he wanted to translate his love of Portland into apparel that helped both Portlanders and visitors alike show their love for the Rose City. In the beginning, Portland Gear operated out of a converted '77 Westfalia Volkswagen, selling t-shirts and traveling around the city. Now, nearly a decade and multiple retail locations later, the brand has solidified itself as a Portland staple. Through an unwavering commitment to authenticity, unity, and a love for the city's cultural mosaic, our team continues to capture Portland's inspiring spirit and stunning landscapes in every interaction. Portland Gear is not just a brand; it’s a voice for the city with which it shares its name. Supporting local talent, sponsoring events, and aiding charities, the brand manifests a heartfelt dedication to Portland's betterment. Born from a love for the city, Portland Gear has grown into a lifestyle symbol, reflecting Portland's distinct character, and rejoicing in its authentic spirit.Read their story
