It is that time of year again. Your resolutions are coming down to the wire, your use it or lose it vacation days are staring you in the face, and your bank account is dreading the drastic uptick in spending as you look to make those around you smile. That’s right, it is the holiday season. It is the time for family squabbles and joyous occasions, the time for eating too much, and somehow just the right amount of food, and the time to dress for the moment. Of course, we’re huge fans of the holiday season here at DEVIL-DOG, but we can only help you with the last of those three.

Here is how we’re dressing for the 2025 holiday event schedule.
Thanksgiving
I am a middle child; therefore, I love Thanksgiving and believe it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Thanksgiving is the middle child of the holiday season. Halloween is the first. It is a little scary, a little exciting, and the one everyone celebrates as the changing of seasons. Christmas is the last one, the one everyone talks about, everyone looks forward to, and the one no one would ever miss. Thanksgiving is the one in-between that makes you fat.
In an effort to change that, we paired our favorite DD denim jacket with the short-sleeve henley on the bottom and one of our short-sleeve button-ups from the summer. The seasonal drop from this outfit is the wax-coated dad hat, perfect Thanksgiving colors.
Christmas Tree Shopping
Now that you’re filled up on turkey and lamenting the loss of your team (or celebrating the win if you are a Dallas fan the last three years), it is time to run out and pick the tree you will celebrate around for the next five weeks. While you do that, we have what you need to make quick work of your yearly lumberjack experience.
We selected some past seasonal favorites in the patched jacket from 2023 and last year's white henley and paired them with the Ivy Green Field Pant and an olive knit beanie to keep your head warm and in the game. Now that you have the tree, we can’t help you put it up in the living room.
Date Night
The holiday season can be lonely for everyone, which is why the dates seem to step up in frequency. We hope you find the right person, and when you do, go into it prepared.
This look is multi-functional as the Slim Straight Spruce Pine jeans keep the outfit light enough to grab coffee or lunch during the day, and the Marion Western Shirt and Charcoal CPO jacket are dark enough to make them appropriate for an evening get-together. The best part is, if you think you are charming enough, the lunch or coffee date could roll right into date number two without even having to change clothes.
Christmas Party
Ugh, the office holiday party. You love everyone so much that after being around them for 40+ hours a week for 11 months, you just need to spend an evening with them. Of course, we love our coworkers, so this doesn’t apply here. But, if you need a good pick-me-up before the party, throw on our new Dark Navy Stretch Corduroy Pants and Dark Navy Quilted Deck Jacket.
The combination will start the monochromatic look, but the stacked henleys underneath in red and blue will give you a pop of color and some depth. Are we the only ones that get a little Smallville vibe from this? Well, you may need the strength of Clark Kent to get through the night.
Christmas Eve
You’re almost through the season. You’re heading to your family get-together for a Christmas Eve dinner and maybe opening a gift of new pajamas.
We want you to take it easy, so a Charcoal Chino pant is easy to live in with our Drive Fast Graphic Tee, keeping you comfortable and laid back. The Charcoal CPO overshirt is the easiest way to stay warm and stylish as you avoid every topic you think can start a fight with the in-laws at the dinner table, and keep you comfortable while you settle in to read your kid The Night Before Christmas…you do the voices too, right?
Christmas Day
The big day has arrived. Christmas morning is the time you get to watch everyone you love open the gifts you spent the procrastinated last month pondering. The last-minute gifts for your partner and the hectic assembling session so the kids can wake up to the hottest gift of the year, have you in desperate need for a cup of Christmas coffee.
While you’re at it, keep it simple with some festive colors in our Brick Red Waffle Knit Henley and Olive Quilted Deck Jacket. It may be a little on the nose, but we like it that way. Effortlessly festive is the idea. And don’t forget our Slim Straight Jean in Burke, movable and functional as you navigate the day. 2025 was a great year for us, and we hope it was equally as fulfilling for you. As you wind it down with those you love, do so stylishly with your favorite pieces from us. It is the best way for us to celebrate with you, and we could think of no better gift than to join you as you celebrate 2025 and get ready for 2026.
From all of us here at DEVIL-DOG Dungarees, Happy Holidays, and we’ll catch you next year.
