Marcus Harvey started Portland Gear in 2014 with just two t-shirt designs and around $1,000 worth of inventory. He’s grown that into an iconic 7-figure clothing line of more than 100 designs. In this episode, he shares how to start a clothing line and grow it to a $120K/Month revenue with 60-65% profit margins. 

UpFlip first talked to Marcus for our YouTube channel in early 2021. Now, we’re following up to find out how Portland Gear has continued to grow over the past year, along with getting some more in-depth insights about how Marcus built and scaled his clothing line business. We’ll cover every step of the process, from his design process to how he uses social media to engage with customers.

Marcus didn’t have a huge budget when he started Portland Gear, but that didn’t stop him from launching a thriving business. He’ll share how he used pop-up shops in tandem with an online presence to find and grow a community around his brand. If you’re in the clothing business (or want to be), you’ll want to hear Marcus’ insights!
