i.instagram.com/leondenimph/Another denim company I find on IG that look interesting. Don't think they sell online, unfortunately, but the denim and details look good. I have to admit, I like the red claw mark stitch detail on the back pocket of their jeans. I'd likely try their jeans if they sold them online and provided fit details and cost, but for now I'll admire them from my computer

alright, nerds, I decided to take a chance and order some jeans from these guys. I'm getting the low tension pink ID 14oz slim fit jeans. the fabric is from Collect Mills and everything is sewn on vintage sewing machines. The only downside is that the inseam length is only 32", which sucks for you taller guys, but 32" is the exact inseam length I take on all my denim.   |

Used facebook to ask questions and got a fit chart for both the army trousers ($103 depends on peso) and jeans as well. Shipping is pretty expensive about $50 or can be very cheap about $6 via a forwarding from their relatives who visit the US.   |

The army trousers look great. Also tempted by their denim jackets but I don't think those are available as RTW yet

Pulled my Leon Denim out of the closet and have thrown them into my rotation. I'm actually going to skip doing the cold soak and try to wear them pretty hard. I've even started keeping count of wears on the pocket bags

Oh I'm really stoked to see our brand getting mentioned on this Forum. My name is Iver and I am one of the founders of the brand. Let me share to the community the pair that I have been using for 9 months which i wear almost everyday. Hoping to contribute any knowledge i have with denim history/construction to this community.  |

welcome, Iver. Glad you could stop by. I've been wearing my Leon Denim pretty regularly for a month now and really dig these jeans. Probably my best fitting pair right now next to my 3sixteen st-140x.

excited to see what new stuff you'll come up with. I, too, am anticipating some great fades on my Leon Denim. I usually give all of my new jeans a soak before wearing but for these i've skipped the soak and am going to see how long I can go without a wash.

got a pair of their navy trousers. the fit wasn't for me, but construction/details would surely please many at the forum here. construction that flows from passion, and some cool details from people who appreciate old things. these guys have day jobs and spend their weekends cranking out quality because they like it.
looking forward to see what else these guys have up their sleeve.
all the best to the leon team!

The only downside is that the inseam length is only 32", which sucks for you taller guys, but 32" is the exact inseam length I take on all my denim. They look great, 32 would be the perfect length for me, but as I learned the hard way (buying a pair of selvedge from Levi's and getting them hemmed to a 32 was a big mistake. Luckily their return policy is great and I was able to return them and get the 34 length as it was intended. Anyway back to the comment...) I would prefer a 34 length. So hopefully they are able to make it happen now. Also how long was the turn around and what was the price (if you don't mind me asking) also would you compare there slim jeans to how 511s fit? |

They can definitely do longer inseam lengths but you have to ask. Turnaround took about 1 week and cost was $180ish if I recall.
I don't own any 511's so can't really compare. I just know that they fit me well.

  Couple of macro shots of my LD01XX. Love the show through. Took over 3 months of constant wear just to get this far |

i like the new military pant buttons they have shown on IG, my pops is headed to the motherland so I am debating on maybe ordering and seeing if they would deliver to him in his hometown.

Hey all, so it's been a few months since I spoke to Raul from Leon denim, but recently he had contracted me.   So basically when I first reached out to Leon denim. They only made there inseams up to 32, so I wasn't going to purchase a pair of there LD001XX (Slims w/ the pink ID) Now Raul is making me the pair with the 35 inseam. Looking forward to this 14oz pair. |

From that screenshot seems to me that they still don't do a 35 inseam....
