Founded in 1935 in San Francisco by Simon and Ben Davis—whose grandfather Jacob Davis helped invent the original Levi's riveted jeans—Ben Davis is a cornerstone of American workwear. Originally designed as rugged, no-nonsense apparel for construction workers and miners, the brand is defined by its heavyweight cotton-polyester twill, oversized fits, and the iconic smiling gorilla logo. Its core product lines include the ultra-wide Gorilla Cut pants, half-zip short-sleeve work shirts, and heavy-duty chore coats, all rendered in durable, stiff fabrics built to withstand heavy wear.
