I'd purchased a number of expensive jeans from this store and I love the jeans. One day I went to buy a few more pair of jeans and the sign read 'back in 15 minutes'. So, I waited 15 minutes and a guy walked up, unlocked the door, looked at me and said 'we aren't open, I'm late for an appointment". and turned and closed the door behind him as he went inside. I haven't purchased anything else from the store nor will I even though my Vancouver office is close and my Toronto office is close. I don't like people wasting my time and being extremely rude and don't care attitude. read more

Now, is the perfect time to try on jeans! Ha ha! I crack myself up. Everyone knows THERE. IS. NO. PERFECT. TIME. TO. TRY. ON. JEANS. It is emotional and awful and taxing and terrible. That is, usually it is. At Dutil, it is kind of a dream. During this last trip to Vancouver, I was with my husband, who NEEDED new jeans. So, we walked into Dutil with purpose. Face the thing you fear, you know?!? We were clear with the sales associate that my husband needed a straight-leg-medium-to-dark-rinse and I needed a black wash skinny jean. This glorious girl brought us both brands we had not heard of, but were very pleasantly surprised by their fit and quality. Just fantastic jeans recommendations. When does that happen in real life? Gastown. I am telling you. At the end, my husband's debit card didn't work because the bank froze it due to a fraud concern (we are not from Vancouver) and the sales woman handled it really smoothly. We paid with another card, resolved the issue with the bank and got some amazing jeans. Kind of perfect. read more

Dutil Denim - A lot of jeans. - Men's Clothing Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I luvs me a good retail environment and Dutil fits the bill. They specialize in all things denim. The store kind of reminds me of an old barn house you may find in the middle of the prairies, with tires, old sewing machines, smeg fridges, and incredible funky bails of denim. Not to forget to mention the piles of jeans as far as the eye can see. They offer up both men's and woman's in all the best brands. Rock and Republic Acne Joe's Rag & Bone Wings & Horns Earnest Sewn Cheap monday Capital E Small town and coming in 2009 Dutil is launching their own brand of denim, and since these guys know their stuff I imagine they will be premium for sure. read more

This would be a wonderful store if the owner was a nice person and the jeans weren't $40 more expensive than they are online.

Killer denim, great service and an awesome staff. Dutil Denim rocks. Peter Kikahole read more

Now that a pair of cool jeans can set you back several hundred dollars, it's become way more important to make sure you're buying something that's perfect. Such pressure! The people at Dutil make it a easy and a pleasure. Staffers are quick to greet you, hear what you're after and explain how the store is laid out. The girl who helped me functioned as a sort of jeans concierge, making impartial recommendations, narrowing down the options, pulling my size and getting me set up with a change room. Sometimes that level of service can feel a little too attentive, but at Dutil it's done with zero pressure and zero attitude. The Japanese raw denim pair that I ended up buying were far from the most expensive available (Naked and Famous, a Canadian brand), but we both agreed that they were the best fit. Again, no pressure, just friendly service. What a concept! A great shop that deserves it's high rating. Recommend! EDIT: Their Toronto location has the exact same great attitude. Clearly, friendly and relaxed customer service is part of this company's culture. Keep it up! read more

I just got the most amaaaazing black, super-skinny, raw denim jeans with the help from the most knowledgable sales person known to the planet.. The original price was $308.00! I paid half that. Totally worth it, and as said in previous reviews, you will more than likely walk out with a great pair too. How could you not? I'm glad my 100th review is something I'm 100% pleased with! Bonus. read more

I ordered during black friday, and they communicated so well you would have thought I was their only customer. I cannot say enough about how great they are at every level; this is the place you want to do business with. read more

Best denim store in Vancouver. One of the best stores I've shopped in, period! We came here this weekend to get some new jeans for the boyfriend. He had a pair of Lucky Brand jeans that he wore everyday, but they didn't have that style/colour anymore. After checking Yelp, we came to Dutil, and boy are we glad we did. Tons of excellent, excellent quality raw denim from numerous brands. He tried on some Cheap Mondays and a few other brands before finding heaven in a pair by Naked and Famous. Reasonably priced, too, for raw denim. I wasn't planning on shopping for myself, but I decided to try some on just for giggles. The sales person was incredibly helpful and found a pair from Made and Crafted by Levi's that fit me perfectly and didn't make my wide birthing hips look like, well, wide birthing hips. I didn't buy them, but I've been kicking myself and I think I'll have to go back. Dutil has a sister shop around the corner that serves as a showcase for one brand every six months. Right now it's Naked and Famous, which we discovered when the sales person called over to see if they had the pants my boyfriend liked so much in a darker wash in his size. They did, and the staff person at that store was just as helpful as at Dutil. He ended up with two pairs of jeans that day and loves them both. Compared to his new ones, my old jeans are so unsatisfying. Off to Dutil when I get a chance! read more

Do you like denim trivia? No? Well...you kind of screwed up where I was going here. Only the best very-expensive jeans. I also like how it's all just in piles, because you know what's up in this place: denim. Denim is up in this place. And I know some stuff about the pants I'm wearing, which is actually sort of comforting in a weird way. Okay, no it isn't. I'll admit it. But the employees at Dutil never will, and I respect that. read more

This Dutil denim shop is the bomb! Hands down,it has THE BEST selection of jeans I've ever seen anywhere! The selection is truly amazing and includes all of the premium jean brands you would expect, along with a bunch of smaller, lesser known and local jean brands. The service was excellent. The staff know their product and are dedicated to helping customers find the perfect pair of jeans. I will definitely go back, and may even order from them online as I live in California and wish we had a Dutil denim shop here. The shop is a must for anyone looking for a pair of jeans. read more

Those shopping spree days are long over for me but of the couple times yearly when I buy new jeans, Dutil is a must-stop. Forget going there if you are looking for a bargain pair, the cheaper the better. These guys are serious about denim -- premium denim that is. Nothing but the best, and the place is stocked with endless stacks of jeans in full array of colours, grades, cuts and numerous brands to choose from. Just a glimpse of all those goodies is mad sensory overload, exciting for a repressed shopaholic but at the same time it gave me a headache for not knowing where to start looking. Fortunately the service is very friendly with a couple of the staff being particularly helpful in getting me into some very well-fitting jeans that I am still very much in love with. Being too lazy to pick through everything, these gals know their product well and quickly directed me to what I was searching for efficiently. The only thing is with a rather young staff, these guys tend to recommend going a size or two smaller than what may actually be appropriate, so take the sizing advice with a grain of salt and figure that out for yourself. At least the hardest part of getting the right cut is done for you. =) The only thing that really leaves something to be desired is the lack of hemming service. How is it possible that a high-end denim specialty store has no in-house, or even a contract tailor? I'm sure if they offered that service people would buy more from them because let's face it.....who wouldn't want new jeans all ready-to-wear so that they can sport the new stuff walking out of the store? I know I would. And every time I visit Dutil I am a few hundred bucks poorer.....dammit...... read more

Dutil is for denim! You can practically find anything in this denim only store. Really if it's denim,they have it. I mean not denim art, bags or accessories -- just teh typical denim things, like jeans, jackets, jeans and maybe a few t-shirts. I went to dutil after I heard they had the latest Hudson's in and it was true. Cheaper than Holt Renfrew, thy had the jeans in all sizes and shades of denim. Lovely. I also went to a really cool DJ party here, the room was packed and everyone was having a good time. They should make this into an after-hours drinking place. read more

mmmmmmmmmmmmm..denim deliciousness....that's right...I think denim is delicious....no..I don't eat it..but I know you could never argue that slipping on that perfect pair of jeans is not a delicious feeling.... I dare you to leave Dutil without a new pair of jeans to add to your wardrobe...they carry all the best denim brands..in every style, shape and style imaginable...skinny, wide leg, trouser,..they have them all... It's hard to pick my faves but for you dear Yelpers I will...hmmmm..WIngs and Horns...a lovely Canadian brand...Nudie...Joe's...Rock & Republic..pretty much all the brands they carry I enjoy... The staff are great and know more about denim them I thought was possible...great service... Take your time and try on as many pairs as you can to get an idea for the different brands fit...and don't be afraid to spend the money on some good denim..it's a great investment! read more

Other than bike stuff, jeans are my favourite thing to treat myself to. As a result of this, dutil is my favourite place to shop in Vancouver. Tons of jeans. Lots of stuff that you can't find anywhere else. Super friendly, unbelievably helpful staff. I have never left there anything other than delighted. if you were to force me to say something negative about the place it would be that amazing jeans aren't cheap... So as a result I don't get to shop there as much as I would like to. read more

I tend to buy a lot of my clothes over the internet as local retailers can rarely compete on price. Dutil manages to beat the internet retailers on price in many cases and deliver incredible selection, helpful service and the benefit of trying on 20 pairs of jeans to find the best fit possible. The most expensive pair of jeans I've bought at $200 (which seems to be the going rate for much of the their inventory) but well worth it for the fit and quality. read more

I've been here once and it left an extremely good first impression on me. I have no knowledge of raw denim or anything like that but I came in here with a friend one afternoon and was overwhelmed by all their jeans everywhere. Just by listening to a conversation the staff had with my friend, I knew that the employees really knew their stuff! They were super friendly and quick to answer any questions and make suggestions with no pressure on whether or not you purchase anything. read more

Shopping for jeans can be traumatic and can reduce self-esteem down to zero with all the different cuts and shapes. Finding the right combo of butt-hugging, enough room up front, the best pocket size, not too high, not too low .... all this can be exasperating. The staff at Dutil know their jeans well and rather than trying on 20 pair and leaving with nothing, I explained what I wanted and sizing issues. The helpful associate grabbed 7 different pair, and 2 out of seven were serious contenders. With the 200+ price, I wasn't ready to splurge for two pair, but finally was able to pick a pair of Earnest Sewn jeans that I have gotten compliment after compliment on. Thanks for making it easy! read more

No more True Religion! High-end quality, without the ridiculous prices. The fabric simply amazing to the touch, and style too: Joe's from LA, and Naked Famous from Japan (but made in Canada for those patriots lol). For once, the men's side is actually bigger than womens, 2/3 vs 1/3. Get them now, 35% off on some models, i just did ;) A soft-grey, actually denim that will wear to your body, so i've been led to believe. great service, and knowledgeable staff, I dig that. Accept AMEX, that's the deal-closer. read more

Since its opening in 2006, Dutil has become the premier destination for denim. They carry all the major lines like Earnest Sewn, Nudie, APC, J Brand, Acne Jeans, amongst others. The denim market has become incredibly over-saturated over the years, and often now, when I pop into shops, I have a hard time distinguishing one line from the other, one embroidered backpocket from the next. Here, upon entry, the thought of sifting through all that denim in search of the perfect pair may overwhelm, and at $200 a pair--though that is now the standard--you may want to take your time before settling on a pair from their infinite stock. read more

Dutil is my go-to shop for men's jeans. The selection is incredible, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the quality of the brands are some of the best in the biz. I've always found at LEAST a couple of pairs of pants that look great on me every time I walk into this store. Most recently I was in there and tried on a handful of items and bought two pairs of jeans all within about 20 minutes. If you're a dude like myself who doesn't like to waste too much time shopping, forget about the other stores and just come here. Yes, the price tags are a little higher than some people might want to pay, but you know what they say: you get what you pay for. My only complaint comes from a time I also had my jeans hemmed here. It was taking what felt like forever to get my awesome new pants back that I desperately wanted to wear. I eventually found out that the delay was because their antique hemming machine was in for repairs. Apparently it gives a really incredible stitch, but an option to have it done faster with a regular sewing machine would have really been appreciated as I was anxious to have them back for a trip I was leaving for. The worst part is that when I finally got them back, I couldn't help but feel like they were a bit longer than what we had agreed on. So in short, buy all of your pants here - get them hemmed at a tailor you trust. read more

I brought in a few pairs of jeans for repair and a chain-stiched hemming. Service and end product was great, and the jeans were ready in 24 hours. I'm still not sure if the chain-stitch is worth the $28, but they did a bang-up job. read more

My favorite denim shop of all time. Great selection and I found my perfect pair of denim here. Best shop in Vancouver.

Apparently all the amazing helpful service people had the day off. I need jeans. I heard they had them here. Indeed, it was true. The jeans were in piles. I looked at them. There was one other customer (and their entourage) buying a pair of jeans in the store, apparently a very complicated and drawn out transaction that required both staff (or whatever, I was just trying to find a pair I wanted at a price I was willing to pay among the all the blue washes and cuts). Finally the other customer left (along with their retinue that included a screaming child, sweet Jeebus, what lungs). In the meantime, I had found a pair of jeans looked like they'd be what I was specifically looking for - straight leg, indigo, a little sumpin sumpin on the back pockets. Also a brand I'd had a pair of for years and quite liked. They were sized for a giraffe's legs and I wanted to ask if hemming was available. But I was also pretty pissed off that I had been in the store this long with barely an acknowledgement, and I seriously questioned why I would want to give these people my money now. Oh, look, they noticed me. I am examining a particular pair! Could I be trying to find my size? "Do you have any questions?" he asked. (Why yes I do ... am I a mirage, or do you want to make a quick $200+ in your last 10 minutes of openage today?) "Do you offer any hemming service or do these come in different lengths?" No they don't offer alteration, and am informed that preeemium denim is often made only in one length because it's easier to have them shortened then lengthened. I am fascinated by this fact of denim AND physics. I am unimpressed that they don't offer some kind of alterations service in the equation, given jeans of one length plus big bucks ($100-400 a pair) multiplied by customers of many sizes equals go do it yourself. As a non-tall person, I'm aware that I could buy the jeans and take them to an alterationist, but ... I am now not in the mood to pay preeemium prices and then have the additional errand to run. So at that moment, despite the cute jeans I'd like to try on, I elect not to keep the staff from the rest of their Sunday plans. Mine immediately included a good long walk to channel my rage. read more

The staff here are unfriendly and aren't as knowledgeable about their product as they should be. Their chain stitching program is also notorious in the city for being sub-standard and overpriced. read more

Being from the San Francisco Bay Area, I have been to my fair share of quality supply/men's boutique shops (ie. Selfedge, Welcome Stranger, Azalea, Standard & Strange), so I think it is fair for me to say that the service here is one of the best I've received at a boutique shop. Quality supply stores are often intimidating since prices are typically higher than average consumers expect and most brands are largely unfamiliar to many casual shoppers. Oftentimes this intimidating atmosphere is made worse by employees that simply watch you or do their own thing as you shop because they expect that most people that enter a store like this already have an understanding of the culture of quality supply and thus have certain expectations and ideas in their mind already about what they are looking for. Other stores hire employees that simply do not understand the culture or are unknowledgeable about their stock which irritates me even more. If someone who works in a quality supply store knows less about their denim or brands than I do, that just shows that they were not properly trained and should not have been hired in the first place. Dutil, on the other hand, does neither of these and hires extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff that responds to the items that you seem to be interested in with helpful advice about the brand or suggestions about other similar articles of clothing that you might like. They do so without any pushiness and are also extremely patient with all their customers who are trying to learn more about the culture or are still wrapping their heads around the idea of paying $200 for a pair of jeans. I was extremely impressed with the service. I came in just to explore their collection and asked about a few brands I liked to see if they carried them. The employees immediately knew what I was looking for, showing a respectable understanding of their stock and where everything was. My girlfriend who was completely new to selvedge culture picked out a pair to try on and the staff immediately had other suggestions for her to try from other brands but with a similar fit. On top of that, I was particularly interested in a jacket that was a bit out of my price range and the staff was very helpful in advising me that the jacket would stretch a bit and that the next size up would definitely be too large. I toyed with the idea of purchasing this jacket for maybe an hour and the whole time, the staff was patient with me in answering questions, but never pushed me to buy the jacket even though it was obvious I was loving it. Overall, a great experience here and I will definitely be back, even if just to hang out with staff. read more

I came here after hearing so much hype about this place from friends. I finally came in here. I know a good pair of jeans but holy crap is it $$$. The customer service was awesome, jeans fit me great, however, I know that things can be $$$ but I just passively backed out when I saw the price and made some excuse that I had to meet a friend for lunch and that I was browsing 'cause I was a bit embarrassed to say that I couldn't afford the pants, especially after the lady spent so much time with me. read more

AMAZING service! Decided to check this store out based on other ratings. At first glance I didn't like the store: way too dark and warehouse-style; plus fitting rooms don't have mirrors so you have to come out to see a mirror, which I hate (plus mirror is out in the middle of the store, not by the fitting rooms. Note to staff: FIX THIS! Mirrors are cheap.) But... sales staff were amazingly helpful and I got a pair of jeans I LOVE. Liked them so much I decided I wanted another pair. It was at least a month later so I thought I'd phone first to see if they still had them in stock. They checked for me; they were out; and you know how usually when you ask if a store will have more of an item in, you get the "oh we don't know what will come in"? Well, the person on the phone checked with someone else and they told me they'd have the "same" style but as it's a new season it might be a bit different. Also they wouldn't have it for a few weeks. I'm not in that part of town so didn't want the hassle of checking in every few weeks... so they said they'd phone me when they come in! Now that's great service. Just please get better lighting AND mirrors in the changing rooms! (Store manager: last one is CRUCIAL) read more

Great shop! Really large selection of denim and super knowledgable staff The guy and girl here made it easy for me to find what I was looking for and made some pretty great selections to show me what else was out there including this really cool denim spray that I didn't even know existed. High recommendation read more

Very hard to fine fault with dutil. The staff know what they're talking about and the selection is excellent (esp. for Vancouver). I walked in today and said what I was looking for....in no time I was in a dressing room with a variety of what I was seeking. Of course I walked out with new jeans. Great styles, great brands....great staff. Check them out. read more

Worst service I've experienced in a long time. 3 staff on shift and not one came over to help me. Too busy discussing their coffee order. Went to the other Gastown jeans shop that starts with a D and had the complete opposite experience. read more

I do very little real shopping in Vancouver. It is always way too time consuming and over the top expensive, it's always cheaper to shop online. Dutil is one of those places I would go to to try on stuff I know I can buy online for half the price. They do have the best selection in the city but that's not really saying anything since it is only here and Holts where you can try more than one brand of jeans in this style deficient city. The service is nice and friendly but they have this weird thing where they always try to get you to get a size too small. They have done this to me and pretty much everyone I know. One of my coworkers bought a pair of APCs here that were two sizes too small (even after I warned him!) and the seam started to rip in a few weeks. I think they think they are flattering you by saying this, and sure they all tend to stretch, but I have seen too many ill fitting, way too tight around the crotch, paid 250 jeans purchased here. Please for the sake of decency, stop this practice. (10 of 30) read more

Hard not to walk out of here with a pair of jeans. With APC, Acne, Wings+Horns and Nudie in here its basically a trap for me. The staff was INCREDIBLY helpful and welcoming. Great spot to find some unique denim. read more

Best store in Vancouver. I want to shake the owners hands and even the sales staff. I wish they sold more than denim but in my opinion, they turned fashion, business and class into an all out art worthy of total praise! Most people in Vancouver are rather fashionable and aware of the brand and trend cultures around them. One of the biggest parts of their defined style is in the denim department, a world filled with rhinestones, stitching, fit, wash and a bunch of labels that throw around 'Japanese' as a selling point. For many people interested in denim, price, while an integral element to their purchasing decisions, may sometimes have to take a backseat to fit, comfort and style. Many people hate shopping for denim because it forces them to try on several pairs, sometimes never finding anything at all that may fit them, and even going to pretentious places where staff aren't helpful and will say that even a dead goat would look good on their hopeful customers. In two words, denim shopping is: time-consuming and stressful. Dutil is the savior. Tucked away in the Gastown district, Dutil offers many great and famous labels as well as some more obscure ones. Recently, they made their own brand of denim, with a custom-made silver circle that is attached to the belt loop to be used as a sunglass holder. The jeans are all hand picked in terms of selection and many are sold at great prices that sometimes are lower than their competitors like Holts.Leone and Gravity Pope. The store is spacious and artisitic, lending itself to a country-western type barn to emphasize the denim culture being tied to the cowboy lifestyle. Lots of comfy seating for the girl or boyfriend who have hurting feet and uninterested eyes at shopping. The sales staff is INCREDIBLE. Very helpful, honest and knowledgeable in fit, styles and materials. They don't mind if you ask a million questions and let you try on as much as you want without even giving a hint to pressure one to buy a single pair of anything. They love their craft. I could go on for days about how good this place is..but in all honesty, it's just a work of art. It's a great place to get good denim and serves a wide range of patrons. It makes itself even more worthy of praise by having a great team of owners and staff. read more

I read a lot of good reviews several years ago and I finally got to go! The girl working there (I didn't get her name or forgot, sorry!) helped me finding the style I was looking for and kept coming back to ask if I was doing alright (without making me feel uncomfortable). I went early so stayed there quite a bit trying but she seemed to not mind my stay at all. At the end, I decided which one to purchase, and at that time, there were a lot of people in the store so she did not accompany me to the door, but this is just a Denim store so I didn't really mind. Overall, it was quite pleasant and I was impressed by friendly but not too pushy service as a denim store. I'm definitely going back when I need another pair of jeans! P.S. If you are a girl looking for raw denims, they have several. read more

Walls and walls of raw denim, great staff, and more raw denim. What else do you need in a shopping experience?

Came here for the first time today and loved it. I'm very picky about my jeans, my go-to brand is Joe's Jeans, but they're hard to find in Vancouver now. The girl asked me why I liked them and made a suggestion based on that - I tried a few different pairs, but I ended up purchasing the first one she recommended. They really know their stuff! Will definitely be back. read more

Great selection of Denim. If you stop by the store, ask for Jerry. He is very personable, laid back and great at recommending different brands and fits. read more

Visited Dutil for our first time and were blown away by our experience. Not only was the selection of jeans top notch, but the service we received was the best we have ever had in retail. Jordan, Pé, and Lizzie were the perfect balance of genuine and professional. They were all very kind, helpful, and encouraging. I can't imagine having had a better experience shopping today. We will back again soon and will happily recommend this shop to others! Rhyson read more
