Excellent quality and design at a perfect price point
I've been on the hunt for straight-leg leather pants for a while. Many are too pricey, too "legging," too faux in an obvious way. So I jumped at these when the Insiders event came around. They're beautifully made, supple, and luxurious. I know leather isn't for everyone, but if you want genuine, this is an excellent option. The waist is indeed high, which I appreciate after 2 kids. They're a *tad* on the large size (I fluctuate between 25 and 26 and the 26 is roomy but not baggy, just not the more fitted look on the model). I'm not sure how they may stretch after wear, which often happens with this material. They are long; I will need to adjust the length, though I'm not sure whether a traditional tailor can alter leather. If you're in the market for a classic fit pant that will last for years, this is a winner.

Feels fake
I knew I’d return these before I even tried them on. The tag says they’re lamb leather, but they feel like plastic, and the “lamb leather” - if that’s what this is- has been bonded to some sort of liner fabric that’s content is not listed on the tag. They feel so cheap and smell like chemicals.
