DEVIL-DOG Dungarees Debuts Its Inaugural Women's Line

— March 16, 2026 — Business
DEVIL-DOG Dungarees, a heritage American denim brand originally founded in the late 1940s and now run by the founder's grandchildren, has introduced its first-ever women's denim collection.

The debut line centers on the High-Rise Straight Jean silhouette, which is offered in three traditional denim washes (Hope Mills, Emerald Isle, and Holly Springs), along with a five-pocket camouflage version. The pieces are made with premium 11.25 oz high-stretch denim and incorporate the "signature DEVIL-DOG® side cording stitch." A couple of t-shirts are also available through the company's website.

DEVIL-DOG Dungarees' expansion into women's apparel represents a significant step for the company, which has built its reputation on vintage-inspired, durable clothing rooted in American history and craftsmanship. The new women's product line is, thus, designed to balance authentic vintage character with contemporary comfort and fit suitable for everyday wear.
