Looking for jeans that meet your active lifestyle? Gastown’s Dish and DUER collection bridges the gap between fashion and performance clothing.
Their natural fiber-rich fabrics combine with technical fibers for breathable, moveable and fashionable pants, jeans and shirts (for men).
Company founder/CEO Gary Lenett launched Dish and DUER to bring sustainably-produced adaptive jeans and pants to Vancouver and beyond.
[New in the men’s lineup: Fleece-lined denim]
The big news is that Dish and DUER have developed a new weatherproof denim line for early 2019 and will expand their women’s lineup — Women’s Dish by DUER. I’m currently loving my new pair of Dish and Duer adaptive denim skinny jeans in Salt Spring shade.

These fit just right and are super comfortable and soft with a good stretch to them. Unlike traditional denim, they’re temperature controlled to keep cool in warmer climates, created with a blend of 70% cotton, 28% Cool Max and 2% lycra.
Other women’s styles include the Never Fade Pants and Joggers in black, High Rise Adaptive Denim in several washes and Performance Denim Straight in a Vintage Tint. The four main fits are High Rise Skinny, Straight & Narrow, Skinny and Straight.
Dish and DUER’s L2X Performance Stretch Denim has five times the stretch and mobility of regular denim and is 30% lighter and stronger.
On a recent visit to their store, I learned that those beautiful coloured men’s pants will soon be available for ladies (yay!). Within the men’s line are four types of pants:
PERFORMANCE DENIM contains technical fibers for comfort, stretch and temperature control
NO SWEAT has the look of a woven pant in a high-stretch, naturally antimicrobial fabric
LIVE LITE is ultra soft, high stretch and naturally light and moisture-wicking
LIMITLESS STRETCH uses plant-based fibers for stretch, softness and never-fading color
Dish & DU/ER are having a Boxing Week sale with select men’s and women’s pants from $49 plus men’s t-shirts for $29 (t-shirts in-store only).
Store hours: December 26, 10 to 8; December 27 to 29, 11 to 7; December 30, 31, 11 to 5.
