Customer Reviews Dovetail Workwear Day Construct

Bought these after reading an IG post from Laura May about her experience with them. Great pants

Well made, comfortable fit.

I have three pair of the brown day constructs, I wear them multiple times a week for years now. These are my favorite pants, hands down. Finally decided to buy the green rip stops, put them on and there was a 3" gap in the back band, just right in the middle at my spine, so sad, otherwise these fit well, but I wear shirts a lot without belts and it's super noticeable of the gap. So back they go, trying the new shop pants!

Well constructed, but too baggie.

Great fit. Good size pockets. Like the straight leg cut, just wish they had the slim leg cut in my size.

Ohmygosh what a pleasure it was to go to work today...wearing my new Day Construct! I manage a pottery studio and need something durable but more professional looking than jeans. I've been wearing school uniform khakis and chinos for the last 6 months and have worn holes in them already. These fit like a glove and clearly are made to work in! Added info: I ordered the same size in Anna task pants and they are a bit too snug around my middle and exaggerate the muffin top.- although I love those too and hope to lose few lbs. to fit in! These fit snug, but perfectly snug.

I bought them because gardening rubs a lot of green onto pants, and dirt. I have other colors but the green is esp good for landscaping . Also thinner fabric is better for those heat waves.

Super disappointed as I really wanted to love these pants! I originally bought a size 8 and they were too small so I returned for a 10. There is SO much gape in the back on the waistband despite the rest of the pants fitting well. The rest of the pants were fairly snug but still comfortable in the hips and thighs but this waistband was not doable. I also dont really understand why these are mid-rise. When Im working Im bending down and crouching a lotI want the most coverage possible! Sad to have to return.

I wear a 6 in the brown version of these pants and they fit great. I ordered the navy in the same size but they were too small. Had to return and get a size 8. Just FYI. Other than that, they fit great!

Worn every day since they have arrived last year. Bought another pair to keep in reserve. A pair of work pants that actually fits a petite woman!

I expect these would be a great pair of work pants, but they did not fit my body type. Far too large in the waist and tight in the hips/thighs (if I sized up to fit my legs, the waist gapping would have been far too extreme to fix with a belt). Disappointed as I like the features, pockets, fabric weight, and what was supposed to be a relaxed fit.

i wear a 2 in carhartt, but wear a 4 in these. the size 4 day constructs fit just like the size 2 carhartt ladies' double fronted pants. had to return the size 2 pair i bought but their return process was really easy and they shipped my new pair within a week.

My Sis likes them. In fact I might just have to get a pair for myselfjust a different color.

Don't fit as well as Maven X..won't purchase again

I love these pants, and just ordered my second pair. They are a very heavy duty canvas, so they dont stretch a ton. My only issue is that I wish they (and all Dovetail pants) had a 36 inseam option. A 34 inseam doesnt even hit the bottom of my heel, and I religiously hang dry all of my pants.

I love these pants- so flattering and functional. Great for getting dirty AND going out!

Was really excited about these pants because its so hard to find green work pants for uniform wearing folks! Unfortunately the size 6 did not have enough room in the thighs for my body type and the rip stop material did not provide any stretch (as expected). If you often find yourself unable to pull on pants because of lack of thigh space, you might have a similar problem with these. Otherwise a really great design and overall pant, just didn't fit a more athletic body type. For reference, I do fit a size 6 in the Maven X.

I like them, but should have gotten the larger inseam.

I am a county road worker operating trucks and heavy equipment and these are going to be my new go to work pants . They fit great and are very comfortable to work in.

This is a wonderful product! Well made, thoughtfully constructed. The company was courteous and professional to deal with. I would definitely order from them again!

I ordered according to the chart but they were too snug. The return process was really easy and quick, though, and the new size is great. I was worried about waistband gaping but its been fine (I wear a belt). The canvas doesnt feel too thick when wearing them, but is robust and sturdy. Tons of great pocket space, and I love the angle of the front pockets perfect for clipping things on (tape measure, walkie, etc). Love these!

I really like these pants. I am 52 and the length is perfect. The pants stay put at my waist line and allow enough room to move in while working outside.

Very well-made, I definitely need to wear a belt so they sit below my tummy pooch. Otherwise they wouldnt fit where the pants are supposed to fall.

I absolutely LOVE these pants. They are my go-to for work around the farm and even going out. Comfortable and stylish. (I suggest buying longer inseam if in doubt.)

I think that another pair will be in my future.
