I take care of dogs for a living, and need pants that are sturdy and comfy enough for long days of romping, playing, getting dirty, getting wet, feeding, cleaning up after, and loving on these sweet kiddos. Pants tough enough to withstand a lot of bending and walking and getting jumped on and getting messy from mud, sand, and all kinds of things (peanut butter kongs, anyone?). A few coworkers had already been singing the praises of Dovetail while I had just been sticking with buying jeans at the local thrift store since they’re going to get worn out anyway. But I finally gave in just to see how good Dovetail is— and so far I have been super happy I did. They fit great (I read the reviews and chose 1 size down since they said they run large- I’m normally a size 12 but the 10 was perfect). They feel sturdy but have nice give to them. I love the deep pockets and the way they sit on my hips so that if I bend over, they don’t reveal my choice of undergarments for that day- bonus! I have a feeling I’ll be ordering more soon in different colors!
