I want to know what company had manufactured jeans under trademark "Lenis".
Jeans had emroidered symbols of bull skull with horns in yellow on
both back pockets.
Rivets, tabs, inside, all kind of labels, all was marked "Lenis®".
Aproximate time of manufacturing - 1980-1995.
I think it was marked "Made in USA", but I wouldn't bet on it.

Dear guntherg,

Are you sure about the year 1980 as starting date? I have found the
manufacturer of Leni's Jeans, but though they exist since 1982, they
did not use the trademark "Leni's" before 1992.

Regards,
Scriptor

No, I am not sure about the dates. You could be on to something.
Thank you.

Dear guntherg,

My research showed that there is obviously only one manufacturer who
used "Leni's" as a brand name for jeans before 1995. It is a Brazilian
company. Here is full contact information for them:

Leni's Jeans
Confecções Leni's Ltda.
Avenida Calistrato M. Salles, nº457
Progresso
Laguna
Santa Catarina, 88790-000
Brazil

Fax: +55(0)48-644-1649

Leni's Ltda. use, according to their website, that name since 1991.
Research in the Brazilian Trademark Office's database also revealed
that since 22 May 2001, there's a protest of the Levi Strauss Co.
("Levi's") pending with the Trademark Office against the use of
"Leni's" by the Brazilian company.
