Cavalry — Australian-Made Hair Styling with Barbershop Performance
Cavalry is an Australian men's grooming brand built around one straightforward goal: delivering genuine barbershop-quality hair styling performance in products made right here in Australia. The brand emerged from a recognition that most men are choosing between international styling brands with premium price tags and domestic brands that compromise on performance — Cavalry fills that gap with formulas that work as hard as anything imported at a price that makes everyday use genuinely practical.
The Cavalry styling range covers the essential modern styling formats: the Original Pomade for classic hold and shine, the Matte Pomade for the same hold with a flat natural finish, the Clay Wax for a hybrid approach combining the grip of a clay with the workability of a wax, and the Shampoo & Conditioner Set for a complete cleansing foundation. Each product is formulated and manufactured in Australia, making Cavalry one of the few locally-made options in a category dominated by international brands. At Gentleman & Son we stock the full Cavalry range available in Australia. Free delivery Australia-wide on orders over $50.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cavalry an Australian brand?
Yes — Cavalry is formulated and manufactured in Australia. The brand's commitment to Australian manufacturing is central to its identity and allows it to maintain quality control at every stage of production while supporting local manufacturing.
What is the difference between Cavalry Original Pomade and Cavalry Matte Pomade?
Both pomades provide strong hold, but differ entirely in finish. The Original Pomade delivers a classic, high-shine finish — the traditional pomade look suited to slicked-back styles, side parts, and styles where a polished, intentional aesthetic is the goal. The Matte Pomade delivers the same hold in a completely flat, natural finish — better suited to modern textured styles where the goal is definition without visible shine or product appearance.
What is Cavalry Clay Wax and how does it differ from the pomades?
Cavalry Clay Wax is a hybrid product that combines the grip and texture of a clay base with the pliability and workability of a wax. It provides firm hold with a low-to-matte finish and remains more reworkable through the day than a standard clay — making it suited to styles that need strong hold with the ability to adjust shape and direction throughout the day without the product becoming stiff or difficult to work.
Are Cavalry products water-based?
Cavalry's styling products are formulated for easy wash-out with a standard shampoo, making them practical for daily users. The water-soluble formula means no buildup or residue that oil-based products can cause with daily use — simply shampoo as normal to remove completely.
