Alright, let me tell you about my little experiment with Ben Davis stuff and baseball.
I’d seen the brand around, you know, the tough-looking workwear. And I kinda got this idea, wondering how it would actually feel for some real casual baseball activity, not pro-level or anything, just messing around at the park or maybe wearing it to a minor league game.
So, I went ahead and picked up one of their classic short-sleeve shirts, the kind with the half-zip. Felt real sturdy right out of the package. Definitely not like your typical thin jersey material. It had that stiff, reliable workwear feel.
Putting It to the Test
I decided to wear it out for a simple game of catch with my nephew. Nothing too intense, just throwing the ball around for an hour or so on a Saturday afternoon. First thing I noticed, it felt durable. Like, I wasn’t worried about diving for a bad throw and ripping it. That material feels like it could handle way worse.
Here’s what I jotted down afterwards:
- It was pretty comfortable once I moved around a bit, though it started off a bit stiff.
- It’s not super breathable like modern athletic wear. On a warmer day, I could see it getting a bit hot if you’re really running around.
- The look? Yeah, I liked it. It has that old-school, tough vibe. Felt different, in a good way.
- Didn’t restrict my arm movement much for just throwing, which was good.
After washing it once, it did soften up just a little, which was nice. Still feels incredibly solid, though.
So, my final thoughts? For serious, competitive baseball, probably not the best choice compared to actual athletic gear. But for just casual park fun, playing catch, maybe coaching little league, or even just wearing it for the style while watching a game? Yeah, it absolutely works. It feels rugged, looks cool, and you know it’s gonna last. It’s just a solid piece of clothing that can definitely handle a bit of dirt and action. I’ll probably keep using it for this kind of stuff.
