Ben Davis Resale Value Guides

11 guides to what used Ben Davis is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Ben Davis is a small American workwear house that has never chased fashion, which is exactly why the clothes resell. The gorilla patch and the heavy twill are the two things buyers are checking for.

Which Ben Davis pieces hold their value

The gorilla logo patch stitched at the chest or hip, which is the brand’s signature and the thing being searched for
The heavyweight cotton twill work pants and half-zip shirts, which are the core lines and hold their shape for years
Made-in-USA labelling, which the brand has kept on much of its range and which buyers specifically look for
Unfaded original colours in the classic black, navy and khaki, since the range is narrow and colour is most of the identification

And what pulls the price down

Worn-through knees and seat on work pants, which is the normal end of life for the garment and cannot be repaired invisibly
A missing or half-detached gorilla patch, which removes the only visual identifier the piece has
Blown crotch seams, the standard failure point on heavy twill trousers under real work use
Bleach spotting and paint marks, which are common on genuinely used workwear and which buyers price down hard

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

Photograph the gorilla patch and the waistband label together, since both are needed to confirm what the garment is
Give the flat waist and inseam measurements in inches rather than the labelled size, because workwear sizing runs its own way
Show the knees, seat and crotch seam directly, as those three areas decide the price of any used work trouser

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Ben Davis worth buying?

Each guide below says which Ben Davis lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Ben Davis?

Photograph the gorilla patch and the waistband label together, since both are needed to confirm what the garment is. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer.
