Denim Baptism: dutil. Launches IDC x PBJ Collaboration Jean this Friday @ 303 West Cordova St. Vancouver, B.C.
DENIM BAPTISM: A live christening of the International Design Collective (IDC) and Pure Blue Japan (PBJ) premium denim collaboration at dutil. Denim on October 24, 2014
There’s something in the water
dutil. is honoured to be the exclusive retailer for the collaboration between IDC and PBJ. The project has been brewing over the course of a year; they joined forces to express their shared passion for high quality and timeless products. The fruits of their labour have finally landed in dutil. Gastown (Vancouver) and Queen Street West (Toronto) shops.
The IDC x PBJ XX007 is a slim-straight leg in an unsanforized denim made in a limited quantity in Okayama. The fabric has not been treated or altered since being woven, resulting in a slubby, irregular texture full of character and personality. PBJ’s shuttle loom is used for creating their denim solely, making production runs small and rare. The denim further evolves and becomes personalized on the wearer after it has been shrunken to fit on the body, and with continuous wear.
“We’re extremely proud to carry and spread the word about the special collaboration between such a forward-thinking creative outlet like IDC, and the legendary denim makers, PBJ. We thought this partnership deserved a fun, playful launch that demystifies the shrink to fit process, and also embodies the excitement around this special denim. “
-Ria Nevada, Store Manager at dutil. Vancouver
To celebrate the unique and whimsical collaboration, dutil. Vancouver will be throwing a sidewalk spectacle on Friday, October 24th from 12:30-1:30pm – all are invited to drop by, grab a drink by the tub as our staff dunks themselves in our makeshift shrink station to demonstrate the custom fitting process. The public is welcome to join in the fun – all customers who decide to sit in the tub and shrink on the spot can purchase the collaboration jeans for 30% off (only at the Vancouver location).
