The debut line centers on the High-Rise Straight Jean silhouette, which is offered in three traditional denim washes ([Hope Mills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fight-hunger-serve-hope-initiative), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-denim) 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.
