Porter James was founded in late 2020 by Joshua Heares of Auckland, New Zealand — a city the label still calls home today.
Our approach to design is centred around continual refinement, ensuring each collection builds upon the last. This results in garments that are intentional, easy to wear, and modular in nature.
Intrinsically drawn to shape and fabrication, Porter’s style can be described as an understated yet contemporary edit of classic menswear. A vision we continue to improve upon with each release.
We draw inspiration from a number of disciplines, both past and present, while championing our lived experience and Kiwi upbringings.
You can find us six-days per week at our Auckland-based Studio-Store, where we’re proud to employ a growing team of kind, hardworking, and diverse individuals we consider family.
