Introducing Doublewood Denim, a San Francisco based denim brand with a strong focus in minimal, but intricate details. Doublewood Denim was co-founded by Ontario-born, Hong Kong/Vancouver-raised, San Francisco transplant and self proclaimed denimhead, Jeffrey Lee and his two childhood friends in Fall of 2013. The three friends; an Architect, Engineer and a Marketing Analyst (now based in San Francisco) have a deep-rooted belief in rational functionality and sustainable aesthetics, which undoubtedly carries over to the denim they produce. Raw selvedge denim is a blank canvas; it is up to each individual to carve a distinct look through everyday wear and tear.

Each pair of Doublewood denim are numerically hand-stamped and crafted with batch-specific details. dutil. is proud to be Doublewood’s exclusive purveyor in Vancouver & Toronto!
