DIY Denim
 |
Bleaching your jeans in the bathtub. Putting them on your roof for a year. Driving over them repeatedly in your car. There are easy ways and difficult ways of customizing your denim. New Gastown jeans boutique Dutil is the easy way. With your choice of brand new designer jeans hung on hooks around the store, or vintage Levi’s Big Es dumped in artful piles or packed into clear plexi boxes like an art installation, there’s denim for every taste level here. Plus, there’s an on-site seamstress sewing up a storm on a raised platform who can hem and taper jeans for the perfect skinny fit (so you’ll never need to do the dreaded fold-and-roll to get them into your boots). And if you want to spray paint gold hearts on the back pockets afterwards, hey, what’s stopping you? Wait. That’s our idea. Dutil, 303 W.
