Collaboration to Celebrate Women in Agriculture
Dovetail Workwear is partnering with John Deere to create a dynamic collection of apparel and gear tailored for women in the agricultural sector. This collaboration emerges from a shared commitment to recognize and celebrate the valuable contributions women make within the agricultural industry. The focus is on developing products that specifically empower female farmers, artisans, and small-scale homesteaders.
Creating a Unique Collection
The John Deere x Dovetail Workwear collection has been meticulously crafted through extensive collaboration with female farmers. Their experiences and needs are woven into every aspect of the product design, ensuring that the collection supports women during their daily tasks on the farm. Key features include high-stretch, midweight fabrics that offer durability and a fit designed to easily accommodate work boots.
The Historical Role of Women in Agriculture
Throughout history, women have played a crucial role in agriculture, from sowing seeds to harvesting crops. During times of conflict, they have stepped in to fill these essential jobs when necessary. Despite not always being acknowledged for their vital contributions, women's impact on agriculture has progressively become more prominent.
Statistics Highlighting Women's Impact
Today, statistics illustrate the significant involvement of women in agriculture:
- 36% of all U.S. farmers are women.
- 56% of all farms have women serving as producers and decision-makers.
This collaboration between Dovetail Workwear and John Deere shines a light on these contributions, embracing the women who help sustain our food systems.
"Partnering with John Deere allows us to honor and support the extraordinary women in agriculture," said Sara DeLuca, Co-founder and Director of Product Development at Dovetail Workwear. "Our goal with this collection is to empower women in their roles, providing necessary tools for success and inspiring future generations of female farmers."
Moreover, Lauren Willis, Global Director of Brand Licensing at John Deere, commented, "This workwear line stems from genuine conversations with women actively working in the field. We aim to help them feel confident and comfortable as they navigate their unique and demanding lives in agriculture."

The John Deere x Dovetail Workwear collection will be available for purchase on DovetailWorkwear.com and at various retail outlets. This initiative underscores the commitment of both companies to not only meet the practical needs of women but to also uplift them within the industry.
