dutil. Records Presents: Serotonin: To Long for – You, Sessions Volume 1

This Spring, dutil. will release the first of a series of pressed vinyl records. The record, named Serotonin: To Long For – You Sessions Volume 1, is a collaborative album featuring up-and-coming local and international artists such as ACTORS, Drawn Ship and Sophia Danai (here’s a link to Sophia’s video for Now I Know, the single off her upcoming album Wishing Well). The idea behind the record is to help artists who may or may not be monetarily able to press their own vinyl records, the ability to feature their work in a medium that has been lost in the era of the digital download and internet culture. dutil. loves the nostalgia and tactility that only a vinyl record can provide. dutil. wants you to hold it in your hands. dutil. Records is proud to have had two-time Grammy winner, Chin Injeti work with us on the album which will be released some time this Spring 2013.

New Years Resolutions

Now that January is almost over, it’s time to re-evaluate our New Years Resolutions – which ones are the most important, really? Here are a few of our sample resolutions that you are welcome to adopt as your own: 1. Make more time for friends and family – why not take them jean shopping at either our Vancouver or Toronto locations, or even online at http://www.dutildenim.com/ ? This can be a great bonding experience and your friend or family member will leave with a great fitting pair of jeans that make them feel like a million bucks! 2. Save more of your hard earned cash – take advantage of our more modestly priced brands such as Cheap Monday, Monkee, Globe, Levi’s and Naked & Famous. Who says you can’t look good for less? 3. Eat healthier and exercise more – never considered yourself a skinny jeans wearer? Feel the need to drop a few? We think you can wear skinny jeans at any size and will work hard to help you find a slim pair that flatters your current (and fabulous!) figure. 4. Make an effort to stimulate the Canadian economy – we’ve got shops on both sides of Canada, […]

Faithful Companion

Raw denim and the transformation it goes through from the first day you put them on, to the day you finally (and reluctantly) have to replace them, never ceases to amaze us. Today, a kind fellow visited the store wearing the most beautifully faded Rogue Territorys we’d ever seen. He said he had been wearing them for about 3 years, and those years showed in the natural crease lines behind the knees, the bright white fades on the upper thigh and knee, and the obvious wallet fade on the back left pocket. We took some photos of his jeans for you guys to see what a little commitment to one pair of jeans can do!
