Too short
I took a chance on these because the model is my same height, but unfortunately, they were way to short. I ordered a size 24 and they fit everywhere else and were super cute. Sadly had to return due to length of inseam. Would be great to see longer inseam options on SHOPBOP.

Disappointed
I maybe one of very few people who don't find these jeans flattering.... I'm a size 25-26 and I bought them in 25 and they fit well, snug and comfortable. But they don't look well, my bottom (normal 35") and thigh look extremely huge. I've never had this problem with rag and bone, j brand, or AG jeans. Maybe its due to the extra thick fabric, and the cut just isn't for me I guess. Too bad they are my first COH and I can't buy again without trying them on first.

Like Leather, Not Leather
I ordered a size 25 at first but had to returned it because it stretched and loosen up once I wear it on. I re-ordered it in size 24 instead. Love it to bits! I would give comfort a 5 star for this one. If you would like to pack it for travel, do turn the jeans inside-out. Else the material will stick to itself once you fold it.

Potential, but no go
These run very small and had very little give. I couldn't get them past my thighs and I ordered my normal COH size.

Nice one
They run bigger in waist a little. If between sizes, I would suggest a smaller size. Given that they will definitely stretch.
The fabric is nice, not very thin, stretchy and comfortable.
Will see what happens when I wash them)

Great!
Love the look and feel. Although not real leather it definitively feels like it . I am usually a 25 but sized down to 24 and glad I did. It was a bit difficult to get into them but once I did, they felt very comfy like a second skin.I followed what other reviewers said and it is true, they loose up pretty fast. Very happy with my purchase, thanks Shopbop!

PERFECT WAXED DENIM
In love with these! they fit like a glove, the denim is buttery and the waxing perfect! I have several pairs of the high rise version and I wear those to death when the weather permits, and these fit and feel even more fabulous in the low rise! I'm normally a 29 in regular denim, but SIZE DOWN in the rocket leatherette. I'm a true size 28 in all of these. They are very stretchy and you will be swimming in your normal size. I love that there are no unnecessary labels or pocket designs on these too, unlike other brands of waxed denim that keep their pocket signature designs. J Brand is great at simplicity as well - but I have not found their wax to hold up as well on their waxed denim, and their denim is not as soft in my experience.

Perfect!
I already own COH's Rocket Leatherette in two different colors and really love their fabulous fit and comfort, as well as the outstanding coating which really looks leather-like and not cheap at all. When I saw the great "Rubia" color, I decided to also go for this one, although the Racer is a pretty different cut, with a low waist. As with my Rocket Leatherettes, I ordered a size 24 - and have not been disappointed at all!: The Racer in Rubia also fits perfectly fitted, offers the same comfort (nearly as comfortable as a "real" legging!), and the coating is of the same great quality. I also love the (real!) low waist of these, as it is even a little bit more sexy on my petite frame (5'3", 90lbs) than Rocket's (again real!) high waist. Just be aware that the rear pockets of the Racer sit much lower than those of the Rocket Leatherette - I love both ways, but you should be aware of this, as such low-sitting rear pockets are not for everyone. To sum it up: Highly recommended, go for it!

Didn't like colour
Bought these and the AG's to compare and preferred the colour of the AG's. There is too much brown in the pants for me, though the cut was great. Returned.

Not Flattering
I'm normally a 27 and ordered both the 27 and the 28 but had to send them both back. I know they're supposed to resemble leather but they sort of buckled in the back and made my thighs look lumpy and rubbery. The AG Adriano Goldschmied coated legging jeans looked way better so I kept those.
