Built by, for, and with women, Dovetail Workwear, is teaming up with John Deere to develop a collection of apparel and gear specifically designed to address the needs of women in the agricultural industry. This collaboration is inspired by their shared commitment to celebrating women’s immense value and contributions in agriculture. Together, the two brands are focused on developing products that support and empower female farmers, crafts and tradeswomen, and small-scale homesteaders.

The John Deere x Dovetail Workwear collection was developed through close collaboration with female farmers, ensuring their voices and needs are represented at every stage, from product design to wear testing. Design prioritizes fit, performance, and durability on the farm, with features like high-stretch, midweight fabric and a split hem for a smooth fit over boots.

Throughout history, women have grown, sourced, and harvested food alongside their male counterparts. In times of war, they even replaced their jobs in the field. While women haven’t always been recognized for their pivotal role in agriculture, their influence and impact has continued to grow steadily.

Today, women represent a significant force in agriculture:

36% of all U.S. farmers are women.
56% of all farms have women as producers and decision-makers.

Dovetail Workwear’s collaboration with Deere celebrates and recognizes these invaluable contributions, shining a spotlight on the women who keep our farms running and our tables full.

“We are thrilled to partner with John Deere to honor and support the extraordinary women in agriculture,” said Sara DeLuca, Dovetail Co-founder and Director of Product Development. “By developing a collection that is specifically tailored to meet their needs, we aim to empower women in the field, provide them with the tools they need to succeed, and inspire future generations of female farmers.”

“Deere’s collaboration with Dovetail Workwear is born from real conversations with women doing real work,” said Lauren Willis, Global Director Brand Licensing at John Deere. “Through this workwear line we hope to help women in agriculture feel great as they dress for the busy and unique lives they lead.”
