Bench Clothing

Bench is a global lifestyle brand with its origins in Manchester, England, founded in the late 1980s. Initially rooted in skate and BMX culture, it evolved into a prominent streetwear label known for its iconic 'Manchester' branding and practical urban fashion. The brand underwent significant changes in ownership after a period of financial restructuring in the late 2010s.

Today, the brand's intellectual property is owned by Gordon Brothers, an American investment firm specializing in brand revitalization. While the brand heritage remains British, production is outsourced to various manufacturing hubs worldwide, including China, Bangladesh, and Turkey, to meet global demand for its casual wear and specialized workwear lines.
