Calvin Quallis Created Scotch Porter to Elevate the Barbershop Experience

The brand is doing incredibly philanthropic work; why is that important to you?

One of the main reasons why I started Scotch Porter was to play a part in helping make people’s lives better, whether it’s with a product, a service or just a conversation. I am grateful and excited to have the opportunity to link our products with a larger purpose, especially with the Scotch Porter Impact Fund, which launched last year. We donate 2% of our online sales and over 1% of our total business sales to innovative initiatives that focus on underserved, previously excluded groups. Through our Impact Fund, we have identified four pillars of social impact to focus on: entrepreneurship, education, job training and recidivism. 

What's been your proudest moment as a brand founder?

I am extremely proud of everything we have accomplished at Scotch Porter, but one moment in particular was when I saw that we were really making a difference in the grooming industry, and being recognized as the fastest growing male grooming brand in U.S. retail. I am also so personally proud of our Social Impact Fund, being able to impact over thousands of people’s lives and donate over hundreds of thousands of dollars through partnering with initiatives that mean a lot to me on a personal level.
