    I have had both the winter and the summer collection in my hands, because the stuff is here at my local store in Munich.

    For the summer he used a wool/linen mix for pants and jackets that has a great feel and very soft touch - The coat and the dropcrotch shorts were made from an extremely light virgin wool fabric. It is very losely woven.

    All of the pieces are really something to look at, you can only tell the special pattern by wearing though. Espceacily the leather jacket - it fits super tight but it is easy to move in because of the construction.

    For myself, i really like the pant and the leather jacket (GUIDI leather).
    Btw, holger is wearing the leather jacket here.

    And the female leatherjacket is also stunning, imo.



    Btw, last Friday it was a great exhibition opening party and it was nice meeting Leon again in Munich and to talk with him ...

      Nice to see this posted here. I have seen the last two collections in Paris and I was extremely impressed. The craftmanship is truly amazing.

          Really happy to see constructive and good comments now, not like last time... I'm glad this work is really well appreciated, since in terms of construction LEB is making something very interesting! I'm loving the new pictures details on the jackets.

          Sometimes new designers here get beat up real bad...

                    I always get a SQL error when i try to access their site though...

                    I found that tabostore.it has a few items as well.

                      Really interesting designer, really curious how can he create a jacket like this. Amazing!

                        I met him twice previously in Paris and we had a great talk together.

                        He actually is in Germany and comes to Paris for the showrooms.

                        Very kind, honest and gentle person. The quality of his leather is among the best without noticing it in details.
                        Some of them will easily recognize it.

                          hide[m] got some new leatherjackets in waxed culatta horse leather last week (btw, the leather is from GUIDI and it is the back part from the horse) and the leather is outstanding, just amazing.

                              The patterns are pretty insane. I can imagine the arduous process of the rescale/sizing and how painful it must be.

                              It may just be personal preference, but I wish that he would flatten the seams especially on the arm in the traditional fashion with leather adhesive. That would allow the nice structure and silhouette of the arms/body itself to stand out while the complexities of the seams remain distinctly visible. It doesn't look like the jackets are lined (at least from the photos) so flat gluing the seams would make them more comfortable as well.

                              Really lovely work overall and kudos to him for getting his vision across to his manufacturer with such complex designs!

                                Seconded. And especially both sleeve and legs seams constructions are different which making it more harder for the sizing.
