Bendgate...don't be a victim. $49 can protect you.

So the news of the iPhone 6 bending is making the rounds.  We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to remind you that your phone, no matter the model,  will not bend in our Smart Pocket.  We have designed our pocket so that you phone is always straight and in a safe position.  Sit all day in the car, at work, on the couch and your phone will never bend!  Do not let this be you...

It was only a matter of time before the monstrosity known as the iPhone 6 Plus started causing problems. Today, word is getting out that the 5.5-inch phone may be vulnerable to unplanned situational curvature.
In other words, the phones are bending, and they're not supposed to bend. They bend because people are putting them in their pockets, then sitting down, which is a reasonable thing to do. Call it Apple's #Bendghazi, if you will. Or #Bendgate.
MacRumors highlighted the following forum post from a new iPhone 6 Plus owner:


"Yesterday, I left at 10am with the iPhone in my left FRONT pocket of my suit pants. I drove 4 hours to a wedding, which also involved a lot of sitting during dinner etc but also 2-3 hours of dancing. I left at 2am and went to bed, driving home 4 hours back.
So in total, the 6 Plus was about 18 hours in my pocket while sitting mostly.
As I lay it on the coffee table and sat down on the couch to relax from the drive (yes, sitting again ), I saw the reflection of the window in the iPhones slightly distorted.


For the rest of the story...please visit the link above.  And visit Jleer.com to purchase your Jleer denim with Smart Pockets!   For only $49.99 you can keep your phone safe from bending and other common risks, such as dropping it in the toilet!

Warning: wearing this style will result in multiple inquiries a day asking "what brand are you wearing?" These provide a straight leg that is perfectly on trend to wear with almost any shoe, from wedges to ballet flats.

You asked for it, and we heard you loud and clear! Skinny jeans are here, but unlike the ones hanging in your closet, you can wear these out on a Friday night and keep all of your essentials right where you can reach them! (How much can you really fit into that tiny clutch, anyway?And aren't you tired of digging in that huge purse you lug to the bar?) This style offers a lower-mid rise fit at the waist, a straight fit through the hips and thighs, and an 11" leg opening. The fit is similar to the women's Lucky Brand "Charlie with Skinny Leg."Available in our classic medium wash,

Straight leg jeans are so in right now. Listed as the #1 denim trend for fall 2014 by Bustle, this cut is perfect for those "more inclined to a streamlined look," and as with the straight legged "Lady Mary," these look amazing paired with all kinds of shoes. They show the perfect amount of curve, while also leaving your silhouette with long lines (PSA: short girls--they elongate!) This style has a lower-mid rise, runs straight through the hips and thighs, and has a 14" leg opening. The fit is similar to the women's Lucky Brand "Charlie" fit. Available in our new light wash, classic medium wash, and new dark washClick the links to see more photos of the style & washes.

"The Mac Straight Leg"

Not quite a boot cut guy, but also not a skinny jeans guy either? You, sir, have found your perfect pair. The Mac Straight leg sits high on the hips, has a relaxed fit through the hips and thigh, and has 9.5" straight flat leg openings. Because they land right in the middle, they can be paired with pretty much any shoe you want to throw with them. These are pretty much guaranteed to never go out of style, and can transition from a casual Friday work outfit to a night on the town easily. The fit is similar to the "514" style of Levi's. Available in our new light wash, our new medium-light wash, our classic medium wash, and our new dark wash. Click the links to see more photos of the style & washes.

With regular Smartpockets on the front, the back pockets sport zippers & dark stitching. The skinny style will look great with virtually any top, and the grey wash is the perfect color of denim to add to your fall/winter wardrobe. This style sits high on the hips, has a relaxed fit through the hip and thigh, and has 7" skinny flat leg openings. The fit is similar to the men's Levi's "511" style. Available in our new grey washClick the links to see more photos of the style.

Football Season is Finally Here!


The preseason has ended, you’ve selected your Fantasy Football team roster, and you’ve made plans to be in the stands when your favorite team faces their archrival. Soon you’ll be cheering, chanting, and going through all of your lucky rituals—you know, those little things that you do to ensure victory, because the one time you didn’t, your team lost?  If there’s anything better than college football Saturdays & NFL Sundays (and Monday nights!), we haven’t found it yet, and we’re here to make sure that you have the best football season ever.

For starters, we kicked off our Great Tailgate Giveaway on September 1st, and you can enter through September 19th by clicking here


One lucky winner will receive a pair of JLeer jeans, a jersey so that they can represent their favorite team & player, koozies to keep their drinks chilled, and a flask for pre-game cocktails. 



Not only do our jeans look good, but they’re also perfect for game day. Why you ask? Our SmartPockets, of course! Think of all of the necessities that you can fit into your jeans--especially in light of the NFL's stadium bag policy ("The NFL strongly encourages fans to not bring any type of bags" and will only allow fans to bring in bags that are made of clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC.)
Don't risk having to throw away (or trek 2 miles back to your car to put away) your favorite handbag, ladies!

Here are just a few examples of what you might need for game day that fit perfectly in our Smartpockets: 







Tickets- double check that you have them before leaving the house! 









Credit Cards & I.D. - how else will you buy that foam finger that you have to have?










Cash - (Snacks on snacks on snacks!)











Keys - Just don't forget where you parked!










Lighter - You'll actually be able to find one when you need one to light the grill during your tailgate!











Headphones - Don't miss the pre-game sports talk just because you're tailgating!











Lipgloss - You never know what cute guys might be sitting near you, ladies!









Smartphone - This one's a given-- how else are you going to meet up with your friends or take pictures when you get SO CLOSE to your favorite player? Pics or it didn't happen!







The possibilities are endless, really. A few others that you might want to bring along:

  • Your flask
  • An emergency poncho
  • Gloves/mittens/earmuffs
  • Facepaint 
  • Tampons
  • Koozies

What items are we missing? Comment below to let us know what you'd carry in your Smartpockets on game day & remember to enter our Great Tailgate Giveaway right here, right now!


Happy game day from the JLeer team!
