What to know about Portland Gear

City pride is the product

Everything carries the P-in-Oregon mark, an outgrowth of the @portland Instagram account Marcus Harvey built before selling logo tees and hats from a VW camper in 2014.

Bags now anchor the line

Weatherproof travel bags and luggage sit alongside the hoodies, tees and caps the label started with, pushing it past souvenir-tee territory.

Independent, and sold locally

Still founder-owned at roughly 50 people, with a downtown Portland flagship, a PDX airport kiosk and a Bend store rather than wide wholesale.
