Factors

Site's terms name the operator only as "dutil. Denim Shop" with no corporate suffix, and a federal Corporations Canada search for Dutil returns no match for this business, so it is likely a BC-registered sole proprietorship or provincial entity rather than a federal one; no evidence of outside investment or a foreign parent was found.

Manufacturing

CA 90% · US 10%

Product pages for the house-label Quintessential jeans state "Designed and manufactured in Canada"; an older About page describes the same collection's launch as denim "made throughout North America," so a small US share is kept as a hedge. This factor scores the Dutil house label only; the store's shelves are mostly other brands (AG, Nudie, Naked & Famous, Iron Heart, and others) made elsewhere.

Product pages give fabric composition (cotton with lycra/T-400 stretch blends) but never name a fabric or mill origin. This mix is a judgment call reflecting how premium stretch denim fabric is typically sourced (Japan, Italy, Turkey, and the US are common mill countries), not a published figure; the vendor's own material sourcing could not be verified.
