A transitional Ben Davis overall from the late 1960s into the early 1970s, bridging classic mid-century workwear with the emerging flare silhouettes of the era.
Constructed in durable selvedge denim with a 65% cotton / 35% polyester blend, reflecting the fabric innovations of the late 60s. Features the iconic Ben Davis “Plenty Tough” gorilla patch, heavy metal buttons stamped “Ben Davis,” and contrast orange stitching. Wide, slightly flared legs show the shift in cut from straight-leg workwear into 70s style.
The selvedge edges along the inner seams confirm this as an earlier, higher-quality production — a detail discontinued by most workwear makers after the mid-1970s.
