So I ordered a pair of these Lee's slim fit straight leg jeans as well as a pair of
Levi's Men's 511 Slim-Fit
jeans, both in size 32x32. The quality of both pairs of jeans are comparable, but the 511s didn't fit around my waist comfortably. I always wear a size 32x32 and the Lee's fit much more like what I expected.
I do understand that the Levi 511s are slim fit and that these Lee's are slim straight legged (more comparable to the Levi 513s), but it wasn't the legs that didn't fit, it's that these 511s were uncomfortable tight around the waist. I've worn skinny jeans before, and even if they are tight on the legs, they should still fit on the waist.
Since I really liked the way these Lee's fit, I ended up returning the Levi's and getting a second pair of these Lee's in a different color. Plus, they're also cheaper.
For these jeans themselves, the material is very comfortable. I like the way they have a small amount of stretch to them. The stitching looks good and strong, and they look really nice.

Slim-ness varies from color to color - beware!
I own two of these jeans (blue blood and mamba). I first purchased the blue mamba wash. I was very pleased by the wash and the fit of this pair of Lee jeans. I did notice, however, that the inseam of this pair is a bit longer than I usually see (I am a 38x32).I was so please with the first pair that I decided to buy a second pair, different wash (mamba). Upon receiving the second pair I quickly realized that the slim-ness of the mamba wash was not the same as the blue blood (See pictures). I was so displeased that I decided to return the second pair. A few days later I decided to buy the same was again, just in case the pair was defective. Nope. The same thing. I find it very odd that the same "style" (slim fit, straight) varies from wash to wash. I never have had that issue with Levi's jeans. FYI: the mamba wash are almost identical to a pair of Levi's 514 (straight-leg) I have.
