I don't own them but I've seen them at Barneys. They are quite lovely, they are made of several different panels, very soft leather. I did not try them on since they only had a size large at Barneys.
I also tried on leather leggings by Daryl K that were very, very nice and looked fantastic on. The waist runs very small, but the leg part fits true to size, if anyone is interested. I would go for your regular size if you don't have big hips; as long as you can shimmy your way past the hips, they are fabulous:

I also tried the Helmut Lang ones. Again, they are true to size, and very very comfortable. They are lined with some sort of slidy fabric so it's very easy to get them on. If Barneys had my size I would definitely have been very tempted to get them. The only thing I didn't like about them was that there is a seam running through them below the knee, but on me, the seam was so low, it was like halfway down my calf! Very odd, the Daryl K ones had a seam as well but it fell at a good place on my leg. I feel like you need to be quite tall for the Helmut Lang ones to look right in terms of that seam, but otherwise, they are great leather skinnies:

I for one managed to snag these Balenciaga leather pants, but they might be too small, so we'll see. Size 36 in Balenciaga is hit or miss for me. They cost about as much as the Helmut Lang ones, which I thought was a good deal for Balenciaga leather pants. I haven't had much luck with clothing this year, so my budget for fall items is actually pretty good since I didn't buy a lot this spring/summer:

If they fit, I'll post pics!
