Choosing between the brand's two core models often confuses first-time buyers. The Original Ben's pant is roomy, but the Gorilla Cut is genuinely oversized. To illustrate the geometry, here are the bench measurements taken from fresh, unwashed size 34 pants side-by-side.
| Measurement Metric | Ben Davis Original Fit | Ben Davis Gorilla Cut | Functional Distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front Rise | 12.0 inches | 13.5 inches | Gorilla Cut sits strictly at the true waistline. |
| Thigh Width (Flat) | 13.0 inches | 14.5 inches | Additional 3 inches of circumference through upper leg. |
| Knee Width (Flat) | 10.5 inches | 12.0 inches | Zero taper through the knee joint. |
| Leg Opening (Flat) | 9.75 inches | 11.5 inches | Gorilla Cut completely swallows low-profile sneakers. |
| Fabric Weight | 10.0 oz blended twill | 14.0 oz blended twill | Significantly heavier, rigid drape on Gorilla Cut. |
| Base Price (MSRP) | $52, $58 | $58, $66 | Reflects the heavier yardage requirement. |
