Built by, for and with women, Dovetail Workwear will partner with CiCLO technology to reduce the environmental impact of fugitive synthetic microfiber pollution caused by textiles, the most prevalent form of microplastic found worldwide. Debuting in the new Shop Pant for Spring 2023, Dovetail integrates CiCLO nylon fibers woven into cotton to create a durable and long-lasting garment with materials that will reabsorb back into the environment post-consumer use.
“Providing a true dirt-to-dirt experience, the inaugural run of our durable Shop Pant is a testament to our efforts to push the boundaries for women’s workwear– from the first step of product development to the final days after the life cycle of the garment,” said Sara DeLuca, Dovetail co-founder and director of product development. “The CiCLO fibers and cotton construction break down like natural materials do in environments where microfibers are prolific pollutants – including sea, water and soil – and minimize accumulation in landfills.”
The Shop Pant offers a stylish, higher waist design with 10 pockets and a panel-free leg face for women who prefer a pant without reinforced front panels. The durability and added strength of CiCLO-infused nylon in the warp yarns eliminate the need for panels and rivets, allowing mechanics and makers to not scratch or ding their handiwork. CiCLO technology is non-toxic to marine life, fully traceable, and ECO Passport Certified by OEKO-TEX.
The Shop Pant ($109) will be offered in Vintage Stripe and Olive Green, with two inseam length options and sizes ranging from 000-18. The Shop Pant will be available for purchase at Dovetail.com and select retailers beginning Feb. 15/
