Portland General Store has teamed with Owen&Stork to create these limited edition grooming kits, as part of the creative agency’s Atelier Numbered Series. Twelve of these stunning box sets were manufactured and sent out to select PGS stockists. Of the four accounts selected we are proud to be the only Canadian representatives. Two of the twelve sets are available for purchase directly from portlandgeneralstore.com for $775 (USD). The other ten, including our own, will be raffled off to local customers. For the next three weeks any purchase of a regular sized Portland General Store product will earn customers an entry in the draw. On Tuesday, June 21 we will announce the winner. Contest is not open to online customers.
Housed in this beautifully crafted, leather-lined, wood box is a selection of Portland General Store’s most popular products, as well as a custom Silver Tip Badger hair shave brush. The contents are as follows:
- 250 ML Whiskey Aftershave
- 50 ML Face Bomb
- 30 ML Pre-Shave Oil
- 150 ML Whiskey Wet Shave Soap
- Silver Tip Badger Shaving Brush
- 3 Gram Sample Colognes: Maine, Tobacco, Whiskey, Wood

Our friends over at Free / Man unveiled their much anticipated new layout today, along with details on their pop-up market Gentlemen’s Reserve. The event will be the first of its kind in Canada and will bring together an eclectic mix of brands, vendors, and publications from across North America. While the focus will be on handmade goods and the artisans behind them, attendees will be able to enjoy good food, drink, and music, as well as get a quick trim from the onsite barber. We are proud to be one of the select vendors involved and will be using the event to launch some new additions to our Four Horsemen Supplies line, as well as showcase some of our favourite products currently in shop. We look forward to seeing all of you there.

With the sun finally deciding to make an appearance here in Victoria, it’s time to start pulling out the Summer pieces. Despite the bad rep they’ve unjustly earned in recent years, the short-sleeved button up shirt is one of our favourite warm weather options. The key here is a slightly shorter length and a slim sleeve (a single cuff helps with that). A bright pattern or interesting fabric doesn’t hurt either. Click more… for some of our top picks from A.P.C. and Wings + Horns.

Our most recent Four Horsemen Supplies offering is this varsity styled cardigan manufactured by Canada’s very own Barbarian Rugby Wear. Many of you will remember the Barbarian name from your own time spent on the pitch. For those of you that don’t, just know that the Ontario based company has been crafting some of the world’s finest rugby shirts and shorts all the way back to 1981. Using only North American sourced cotton, Barbarian weaves, dyes, cuts and sews their fabrics all in their Kitchener facility.
When Barbarian approached us months ago they had several new products in the works, including this slimmed down cardigan. We loved that we could make a casual and wearable piece with the same indestructible quality as their performance gear. Like their shirts, this cardigan is made from Barbarian’s unique twelve ounce jersey fabric which is manufactured on circular knitting machines. After being washed and dried fabrics are matched and then garments are cut and sewn by hand.
Our cardigan features a tonal sleeve embroidery and chest patch, as well as three gradient stripes on the left sleeve. These design details are a subtle nod towards traditional collegiate stylings and were custom woven and sourced specifically for this project. Limited to 18 pieces, the Four Horsemen Supplies Rugby Cardigan will be available for purchase in store and online tomorrow.
