Fall Haul 2011 pt. 2

We’ve decided to try something different this fall; Levi’s Dockers. You’ve all seen them before, they’re classic and important, and you should all own a pair. Scotch & Soda’s “Ralston” fit is quickly becoming a dutil. staple. Perfectly tapered, and shown here in a wonderfully worn grey. Also new to dutil. is Simon Spurr. This jean is a nice, slim straight leg with wonderful yellow selvedge!

Double Denim Delight

Every woman needs a nicely cut denim jacket. The Levi’s iconic denim jacket for women is fitted and cropped just right for summer. Sartorial dreams of pretty floral summer dresses and this lighter wash jacket make us pray to the sun God for a little help during this rainy Vancouver summer. In the meantime, the jacket looks pretty fly with some black skinnies as well.

To Wax Aesthetic: Nudie’s Fall/Winter 2010/2011 “Injection Collection” at dutil.

If you’ve been looking for a denim statement piece, look no further than Vancouver’s favourite denim shop. Nudie’s Fall/Winter 2010/2011 “Injection Collection” boasts some super slick pieces including an indigo coloured, black coated Thin Finn. The indigo shows through the distressed wax coating, and the colour will become more pronounced with wear. Waxed denim tends to do better if you don’t wash it, but if you must, a cold water rinse inside-out should do the trick. Remember to stay away from the dryer! These jeans are limited edition and sizes sell out quickly, so come pick them up at dutil. before it’s too late!

Wearing It Well

This guy lives in his jeans. Worn for 1.5 years and never washed, they are so decrepit they look like they could fall off of his body – in a good way. When we buy a brand new pair of raw denim jeans, we can only dream that they will one day look like these do. Not only have they molded perfectly to his body in both fit and colour, the wearer has molded them perfectly to his lifestyle with the addition of some special do-it-yourself details. It is a joyous occasion when someone walks into the store wearing something (especially denim) that is such an integral part of their personality.
