Jean Machine logo of former denim reseller in Canada

Jean Machine, the Canadian denim retailer, closed all its stores by the end of February 2019. This closure marked the end of over four decades of business. The decision came after the company struggled with financial difficulties and a shifting retail landscape, ultimately filing for bankruptcy protection in January 2017. Despite efforts to restructure, including rent relief and attempts to reposition the brand, Jean Machine could not compete with both low-end and high-end denim markets
