Revolutionizing Women’s Work Shorts

  • Hip Slot™
  • Tool loop
  • Nested Pockets

Here’s Your Short Notice

No need to take the scissors to your favorite Dovetail anymore– we did it for you. Our work shorts are back for the summer, and better than ever, with a shorter inseam (8.5”), frayed cuff, and a soft, worn-in feel. We won’t sell you short on the details that make it Dovetail: a tool loop, a pant-load of 10 pockets and a streamlined look. These fit like our past wabash stripe work short, but the frayed cuff offers more mobility, and a more washed–down fabric gives and takes.

The word Wabash comes from the Miami tribe's ‘Wah-bah-shik-ki,’ meaning “water flowing over white stones." You’ll know exactly what they meant when you feast your eyes on this yarn-dyed indigo stretch canvas striped with white dashes and dots. Wabash Stripe gives a nod to what great-great-grandma wore working in the factory– but softer, stretchier, and super strong. To cut a long story short, these work shorts are ready for a summer of sweat, grime and getting dirty with Dovetail.

Wabash fit great!

Great fit. Great pockets. Tough material. I like the amount of stretch. Not too much. Highly recommend. I have two pairs!

Love them!

I just ordered my second pair, to have a fresh one for this summer. They are great for casual outings and have stretch for activity. I suggest air drying to keep the nice dark blue. Love the fray, worth the money and you'll likely get a compliment or two. Thank you, Dovetail, for my favorite shorts.
