Description: These were short-sleeved, zipper-front shirts with tight, vertical blue and white stripes and two flat chest pockets. The original Ben Davis' have the distincive red, "grinning gorilla" logo-tag on the left chest pocket. One would associate these shirts with service station attendants or grease monkeys (auto mechanics). The Ben Davis shirt was normally matched with white, black or blue Levis 501s and Wallabys. The wearing of a long sleeved black or white "Long Johns" thermal underwear shirt underneath was not at all uncommon.
