When mechanic Faye Hadley of All Girls Garage + Moto Mythbusters asked about coveralls, we dropped it all, and listened to what she needed in her do-it-all workshop wear. The only coveralls that worked for Faye came from the boy’s section of Target. They had 1 measly pocket, and she had to get them tailored to fit, but what else could she do? Traditional coveralls were too baggy – their wide legs dragged oil and dust into the rare cars she worked so hard to restore. Some had rivets and exposed zippers that could scratch her handiwork… And any coveralls designed ‘for women’ came in cheap, brightly-colored fabrics that brought the wrong kind of attention.
Dovetail to the rescue! We focused on fit, adding an inner drawcord, belt loops and snaps to keep ‘em up with a tool belt or when it gets too hot in Faye’s West Texas garage to wear the top. Deep chest pockets hold screwdrivers, wrenches, her notebook, and pens.
These coveralls also have all our Dovetail Workwear fan-faves: crotch gusset for ultimate mobility, reinforced knees with a slot for pads, and nested pockets that prioritize storage on the right thigh – Faye can fit a large flashlight in hers for looks under the hood.
Also Available In Short Sleeve!

"Why did dovetail stop selling these!?!? Are they going to be available again!??? The overalls are great and I have about 25 of them as I wear them daily for work . . sometimes I’m in need of a full coverall and all other brands don’t make a quality fit or come in the small size I require. . please bring these back!! 000/32 please!!!"
"Finally a coverall that fits JUST right! Excellent quality, material is thick, super soft, and a tiny bit stretchy. I’m 5’6”, 155lbs, and wavered between the medium and large before settling on the medium. It fits like a glove when wearing something like pants and a sweater underneath for colder weather, and has a bit of breathing room when just wearing a tee shirt and shorts. The inseam is a little long on me, but this just means the pants don’t ride up when I sit down. Worth every penny!"
"Honestly I almost gave up trying to find a pair of coveralls that fit me well. Until I came across Dovetail workwear and found they had my size! I live in them all day everyday. Love them and highly recommend! :)"
"These have become my go-to work clothes. Thank you for finally making a coverall! Next request - FR materials?"
"Most comfortable coveralls ever, she wore them all weekend while we were on holidays! She was very happy and loves them! They have lots of easy movements, enjoys showing off how easily you can do a squat in them! Articulated knees are wonderful!! Good belt loops holds a thick belt! Fabric is soft and sturdy while allowing movement without sensory issues or fabric chafing! They have real pockets!!!"
"I have always loved to wear coveralls, but coveralls made for women?! A dream come true. Would love to see these come out in a fabric that will fade with age - maybe a denim, even if it means losing a little stretchiness ? I love all my dovetail clothing!!!"
"Very comfortable and well made. I wear it every day to work and it's all I need. The best workwear I ever own. Totally recommend!"
"My new coveralls are great - they fit well and are extremely well made. They will be so useful for all my farm and yard chores. I'm really pleased with my purchase and would buy again. My only complaint is the lack of interesting colour choices. I'd be much happier with some bold colours - teal, burgundy, or even prints, which would be real mood boosters."
"thank you for catering to real working women"
"Un cadeau de mon mari qui me permettra de me sentir à l’aise tous les jours de la semaine. Cette combinaison peut se porter le weekend chic et au travail avec les élèves."
