designed for work
Every seam, fiber, and fit is made for movement — not marketing. Damocles gear is built to earn its keep.
tested by tradesmen
We put our gear through the same conditions you do — cold, rain, grit, and grind — and it doesn’t quit.
Backed by Local Hands
Proudly conceived and designed in Vancouver, BC — every piece supports a small, homegrown brand built for real workers, not corporate logos.
about us
The Weight of Damocles
The name Damocles carries an old truth — the weight of the sword never leaves the one who bears responsibility. For tradesmen, that sword still hangs: long hours, hard labor, and the unspoken pressure to show up and provide, no matter the cost.
We built Damocles for them — the men who work in the rain, the cold, and the risk. Every stitch is a nod to the grit it takes to stand under that sword and keep going. This isn’t just workwear. It’s what you wear when the job demands everything you’ve got.
