How do Dovetail pants, tops, and accessories fit?

See our Size Guide page with details about our sizes, fabrics, and fits. 

When will Dovetail Workwear offer inclusive pant sizes?

All of our pants (except for the Christa DIY) are from size 000-18 in four inseams:  28", 30", 32", & 34". And we go up to size 24 in certain fabrics. Our tops will also go up to size 3XL. We do our best to be inclusive.

What are your sourcing and manufacturing practices, and where are your clothes sewn?

At Dovetail Workwear, we deeply value strong, sustainable relationships with our manufacturing partners. Our denim is sourced from Cone Denim’s Oeko-Tex certified facilities, ensuring both quality and environmental responsibility. We sew many of our pants in Mérida, Mexico, at a state-of-the-art factory selected for its gold-standard labor, environmental, and community practices—including a highly advanced water treatment facility. This factory is also proudly led by a female management team.

Our pants—or parts of them—may be made in one of our trusted factories located in Turkey, Mexico, Pakistan, or China. Each of our manufacturing partners is carefully chosen to meet our high standards for artisan craftsmanship, ethical practices, and exceptional quality.

If you’d like to know where your specific Dovetail model was made, please contact our customer service team—we’re happy to help!

Are Dovetail Workwear pants preshrunk?

Yes, they have one wash during manufacturing to avoid shrinkage issues. For environmental reasons, we choose not to set our dyes with chemicals or repeat wash our fabrics.

 

How do I wash my Dovetail Workwear products?

Please check our care labels carefully. They provide specific, ideal guidance on how to care for and ensure the longevity of your Dovetail products.

For our pants and cotton-based tops, machine wash cold with like colors. Fasten hardware on overalls to avoid banging around in the washer or dryer.

We strongly recommend line-drying your Dovetail Workwear garments. Tumble-drying is hard on clothing, and can lead to fabric deterioration, color loss, shrinkage, warped elastic, and broken hardware.

If you must tumble-dry, fasten all hardware and turn inside out. Dry on low and take them out before they're crispy-dry and finish by line-drying.

SPECIAL CARE NOTES:

The Evaleen Trucker jacket SHOULD NOT be washed due to the wax finish on the exterior of the garment. Check the care label for details.

If you work with or around drywall, the indigo dyes on some of our blue denims and shirts can rub off within the first few weeks or months. The more you wash them, the less this is a problem, but please be careful in these situations as the indigo may transfer.
