By us, we mean not only those who are born between 1975 and 1985 and who remember the iconization of the West Coast Gangsta movement \u2013 to be fair, we\u2018re talking about the romanticized MTV version here \u2013 the attitude, the style. Quite a few of us have digged this, perhaps even emulated it, even if only on a small scale, because let\u2019s be honest: We weren\u2019t gangsta. But in times in which excessive police violence and crime were the focus topics of music, film and pop culture in the USA \u2013 the hub of our teenage world \u2013 this epitome of self-confidence, rebellion against the system and its authorities and of course that swag hit the right nerve with us.<\/p>\n<p>We all felt what <em>NWA<\/em> and <em>Eazy E<\/em> were talking about. Even if we weren\u2019t sitting in Compton, but maybe at Boxi or Schlesi. And even though our worlds seemed very different, if you were self-conscious, dissident or for instance of foreign origin life wasn\u2018t all rosy in Germany\u2019s urban areas (actually still isn\u2019t). And chances are high each one of us fit into at least one of these categories, some even into several or all of them. So what could be more obvious than to look for supposedly strong role models, having the desire to be just as rough & tough, to be invincible.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is about the clothing brand Ben Davis, and yes we are rambling again, but there is a reason for that. Ben Davis is not just a clothing brand. It is not just clothing for a specific purpose. It is a statement, a reminiscence of the past, but at the same time also forward-looking. Visionairy even, but we will come to that. You can\u2019t walk the road without looking back. Nor can you do so without respect for tradition and quality work and, finally, the desires of an entire generation. We have taken on the task to accompany you on this memory lane.<\/p>\n<p>On our way we will meet <em>Adam Yauch a.k.a. MCA<\/em> from the <em>Beastie Boys<\/em>, <em>Eazy E<\/em>, <em>NWA<\/em>,<em> King Tee<\/em>, <em>Bone Thugs n Harmony<\/em> (or almost all West Coast rappers of these years), the <em>Vatos Locos<\/em> from the movie<em>\u00a0Bound by Honour<\/em> as well as all the gangsta stereotypes in movies and music videos that influenced us. Baggy chinos with the stiffest crease, white tees and the mandatory flannel or workwear shirt with only the top button closed, paired with bandanas and symbolic necklaces, bracelets and rings as well as a pair of Nike Cortez, Air Force 1, Converse Chucks, Vans or K-Swiss \u2013 you know what we\u2019re talking about. Workwear was quite the thing in those years and \u2013 not a surprise \u2013 it is again today (check our feature about<a href=\"https:\/\/hhv-journal.com\/features\/new-brand-stan-ray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Stan Ray<\/a> and the general workwear mania these days). The thing is, it was something we could afford, we could dress like our idols from <em>Yo! MTV Raps<\/em>. These were rugged, durable pieces to hang on the streets, spray graffitis, skate. What was built for hard, honest physical labor was just the right equipment for the urban hustle. This was not Paris Couture or London Chic, we\u2019re talking honest, authentic, unpretentious clothing.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2385\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hhv-journal.com\/en\/features\/new-brand-ben-davis\/attachment\/r1-07074-010a\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?fit=1361%2C2000&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1361,2000\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?fit=1160%2C1705&ssl=1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2385 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?resize=1160%2C1705&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?resize=1160%2C1705&ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?resize=800%2C1176&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?resize=320%2C470&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?resize=560%2C823&ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?resize=640%2C940&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?resize=1120%2C1646&ssl=1 1120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/R1-07074-010A.jpg?w=1361&ssl=1 1361w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2379\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hhv-journal.com\/en\/features\/new-brand-ben-davis\/attachment\/_13\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?fit=1597%2C2000&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1597,2000\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?fit=1160%2C1453&ssl=1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2379 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?resize=1160%2C1453&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?resize=1160%2C1453&ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?resize=800%2C1002&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?resize=320%2C401&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?resize=560%2C701&ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?resize=640%2C802&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?resize=1120%2C1403&ssl=1 1120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13.jpg?w=1597&ssl=1 1597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The origin of Ben Davis dates back to the middle 19th century, when the family was already able to establish their status as an important asset of the US clothing industry. In 1935 Ben Davis and his father Simon Davis founded the brand Ben Davis in San Francisco. In order to get an idea of the Davis\u2019 influence on what workwear is today, Ben\u2019s grandfather John Davis was instrumental in designing the original Levi\u2019s jeans, partnering with the namesake fabric merchant to mass produce them.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2376\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hhv-journal.com\/en\/features\/new-brand-ben-davis\/attachment\/wall-sign-ad-9-full\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wall-sign-ad-9-full.jpg?fit=800%2C594&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,594\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wall-sign-ad-9-full.jpg?fit=800%2C594&ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2376 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wall-sign-ad-9-full.jpg?resize=800%2C594&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wall-sign-ad-9-full.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wall-sign-ad-9-full.jpg?resize=320%2C238&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wall-sign-ad-9-full.jpg?resize=560%2C416&ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hhv-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wall-sign-ad-9-full.jpg?resize=640%2C475&ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1160\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/hhv-journal.com\\\/en\\\/features\\\/new-brand-ben-davis\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:144755569}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1160px;

The trend-setting fashion aspect of workwear came many years later. It was not until various subcultures in the 1980s and 1990s chose the solid styles as their own type of uniform that workwear found its way into everyday fashion. Dr. Martens Boots and denim jackets became the basic equipment of the British punk scene, while skaters in California chose crash resistant clothing by the likes of <em>Ben Davis<\/em>, <em>Dickies<\/em> or<em> Carhartt<\/em> for their breakneck stunts. Ben Davis was particularly popular with the Chicano and Filipino communities in the USA, who created the previously mentioned distinctive style. There are debates about how West Coast rappers came to adopt this style, displaying it in their music videos in the mid-nineties, and whether it was legitimate or cultural appropriation, but we\u2019re not going down that rabbit hole now.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Ben Davis has also made a name for itself within the streetwear scene by doing collabs with cult brands such as <em>Supreme<\/em>, <em>Opening Ceremony<\/em> and with the <em>Ben Davis Project Line<\/em>, a special line of the brand that resulted from the workwear hype in Japan. But when talking about the pioneering role of workwear, it\u2018s about more than just hype. The core values of ruggedness, durability and high quality, which are more likely to be achieved through slow fashion techniques, will presumably become even more important when it comes to our clothing choices in the future. Conscious consumerism \u2013 if you want to talk about consumerism here \u2013 is key. And without boring you with a sustainability manifesto \u2013 right, we were just talking about MTV, gangsta style and West Coast Rap nostalgia \u2013 we have to point out that you make the better choice by buying one durable \u00bbMade in USA\u00ab item than five items of inferior quality that are \u00bbMade in Far East\u00ab. Baby Steps with a big impact. In our humble opinion, workwear (along with tech wear) is the clothing of the future that will outlast everything.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t do education without a reference to the one and only late Gary Warnett, whose love for Ben Davis led him to the adaptation of the Gorilla logo for the logo design for his blog <a href=\"https:\/\/garywarnett.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GWARIZM<\/a> and who wrote a <a href=\"https:\/\/garywarnett.wordpress.com\/2011\/06\/29\/plenty-tough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">very interesting piece about Ben Davis<\/a> a few years back:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00bbLet\u2019s be clear here, who\u2019s selling the aforementioned Pendleton, Chucks, Carhartt, Dickies, Ben Davis, khakis and white tees to you \u2014 some lookbook clown with a side parting who you could put in a chokehold, or some real OGs?
