What to know about Dime
A skate crew before a label
It started in 2005 as Dimestore, a Montreal video crew, and only began making clothes in 2014, which is why hardgoods and skating sit alongside the tees.
Deadpan humour over clean branding
Graphics run to warped logos, jokes and washed-out colour across tees, hoodies, corduroy and fleece rather than straight logo streetwear.
Independent, and still Montreal-run
Founders Antoine Asselin and Phil Lavoie own it, run a shop near Peace Park, and stage the annual Dime Glory Challenge at IGA Stadium.

Shop all Dime ↗How Dime fits
Overall fit
runs large
Most shoppers report Dime cutting boxy and generous across tops, with a lot of people taking one size down from their usual and still getting a relaxed fit.
Tip: Take your usual size only if you want the intended oversized skate look; size down one if you prefer a normal or fitted silhouette.
Medium confidence · based on 14 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | oversized and boxy with roomy sleeves and a wide body | Most people find their usual size already oversized, so size down unless you layer heavily. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed camp-collar and corduroy/fleece overshirt cuts, boxy through the body | Take your normal size for a relaxed drape, or size down if you want it closer to the body. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | relaxed to baggy through the hip and thigh | Order your true waist size — the leg is intentionally wide, so sizing down the waist won't slim it much. |
| Jeans & denim | runs large | baggy, wide-leg denim with a high rise | Stick to your measured waist and expect a very roomy leg; size down one if you want a merely relaxed rather than baggy look. |
| Jackets | runs large | boxy outerwear cut with room for hoodies underneath | Your usual size leaves plenty of layering room; size down if you're wearing it over just a tee. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with dropped shoulders and a wide chest | Size down one for a normal fit; stay TTS only if you want the classic boxy skate tee look. |
