Faux Leather Leggings

Pants have a lovely dark brown color that matches all other items from Max Mara Leisure PERFECT. The size is true to size (I am 5’9”, wearing a size 12 in pants and the XL was great & not too tight). There are 2 reasons, why I am still undecided if I should keep the pants: 1.) the waist has a real ‘waistBAND’ and no shape - you will always need to wear something over it to cover it. 2.) the material is really thin/ close to flimsy. I fear it will be showing any wear quickly. I was expecting more from Max Mara. There are other faux leather pants that have superior cut & quality for same price or even less.
