Lileo (Building 35, 55 Mill St., 416-413-1410, lileo.com)
Serious collectors will find an eclectic mix of premium Japanese and organic denim, as well as a range of authentic indigo dyes. Translation?  Gourmet jean therapy. We did our decision-making at the in-store juice bar. A very civilized way to shop. Brands: About 12, including Superfine, Gilded Age, Rag & Bone and A.P.C. Prices: $115–$995

Your denim shop list was great, but you missed "Hill Street Blues" in Richmond Hill, which is phenomenal. The selection is great, and the service is superiour. Not to mention, their policy of "buy one, get one half off" is always a draw.
