About Ben Davis

Ben Davis has been making workwear in San Francisco since 1935. The company grew from a family tailoring background, its founder inspired by his grandfather, who pioneered reinforced copper rivets in denim for Levi Strauss. Ben Davis built its name on tough twill fabric and double-stitched seams, backed by the "Plenty Tough" slogan and its smiling gorilla logo. Still family-run, with Frank Davis at the helm, the range now stretches beyond overalls and jackets to t-shirts, caps and beanies. Its durable, no-nonsense style has also won it a following in streetwear circles, worn by musicians including Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.
