Our Story

“I spent decades making jeans for brands like Levi’s. In 2015, in pursuit of a simpler, more active life, I gave up my car and started biking everywhere. Soon, I found the classic jeans I loved were too rigid. Athletic options didn’t look or feel right for daily wear. This is why I created Performance Denim – classic denim built with power stretch and smart features designed for real movement, without compromising style or comfort.”
– Gary Lenett, DUER’s Founder

Our Mission

What started with a single pair of jeans grew into a bigger goal: to create an entire wardrobe where classic denim style meets activewear comfort. It became DUER’s mission to bring clothing that helps you live more effortlessly to the world. By creating Performance Jeanswear, we’ve reinvented timeless dressing for the 21st Century so you can move freely through life without sacrificing your comfort or your style.

    "The fabric is breathable but at the same time has a nice fit on your derrière! The cut on ankle looks great with your boots to your sneakers. This jean can be the best addition to your capsule wardrobe."

  • Great fit on these!

    “I love the athletic straight fit. Extra room for big thighs and calves of a mountain biker and snowboarder without looking like leggings. Great wash and finish too.”

    Performance Denim Relaxed Taper

  • Max Comfort!

    "This for me, is the best option for not wearing track pants. They are so comfy, almost like wearing a pajama but with great style and in a modern fit.

    Not too stretchy, light fabric and very nice color."
