Ben Davis Gorilla Cut on-Body Review: Measurements, Fit Pics, and Real Silhouette Proof
Skate style workwear relies entirely on how the hem settles onto footwear. With an 11.5-inch flat cuff opening, low-profile runners like Adidas Sambas disappear completely inside the trousers, causing the hem to drag along the ground and shred against asphalt. The Gorilla Cut requires footwear with volume.
Thick-soled skate shoes, Timberland 6-inch boots, or Red Wing moc toes provide the requisite width to catch the opening. When paired with structured footwear, the trousers produce clean pant hem stacking, settling into two or three crisp, sculptural folds above the instep without puddling into a shapeless pile. Cropping the inseam by two inches provides a sharp, boxy drop that lets the hem hover clean over sneakers, emphasizing the dramatic horizontal width of the garment.
