I have the AA ones and I definitely do not recommend them to anyone. After only a few washings (and I washed mine as little as possible) they start to peel and crack. There's a big patch right on the butt of mine that has worn away and so I can't wear them unless I wear something long.
I was thinking about buying the Kova & T leggings, but I was a little disappointed to see that they're the same fabric content as the AA ones -- 80% nylon, 20% spandex. I don't want to spend $80 more just to have the same problem... has anyone had that problem with the Kova & T leggings?
Velony- There are some real life photos of the Sass and Bide leggings on ebay, though they are not on a model.
Taylor- The shine on the Daryl K's looks to be pretty permanent. It's not a processed texture on the fabric, the shine looks impossible to separate from the fabric because it's not a layer.. unlike the Kova&T's which will start to flake off especially around the knees. I own 2 of Daryl K's liquid leather pieces and they are also exceptional quality, the patent look won't fade.
pucci mama- Try calling the store at 212 529-8790. They are probably sold out since they are from F/W 07 but you can give it a try.
Radio- Having the same fabric content doesn't mean they are of the same quality, this is evident in many fabrics of the same content that look and feel different, which is the case for the Kova&T and AA leggings. The Kova&T are definitely better quality imo, however the peeling problem does occur- just to a lesser degree. I noticed they peel mostly at the knees (and probably butt but I haven't noticed anything yet) but so slightly that you really can't tell unless you are looking for microscopic flaws.

Reason: grammatical error
My Kova & T ones just arrived today, and I love them. I'm really glad that I shelled out the extra cash for these rather than the AA ones, which I hear aren't the best quality.
I love the look in the third pic with the simple shirt and ballet flats. I'll try that sometime. Now I have a feeling I need a couple of leather pants for fall too.
