Not the same leggings at all---apples and oranges---not a comparison. Go to Louis' blog to read about them or on other threads here on the Forum

Ok, good, then not so confused after all, and you know they are not the same ponte fabric at all, they are much heavier---that's why Louis is calling them "Super" ponte.

TeachRsPet, I think the price difference is due to the higher rayon content.

I ordered the new ponte leggings and the original straight ponte (reorder) pant in black. I know they are not both leggings or even made out of same material. But I wanted to see which one looked best w/ the long topper...and which one looked best on me. If I can find a use for both pants...I will keep both.
I was not brave enough to try the light colored leggings (taupe). I don't like sending stuff back, if I can avoid it...and I was worried about how a lighter color legging would look like on my less than perfect legs. Although I'm active and wear a size 6-8....my legs are not what you would call 'firm' anymore.
Good luck w/ whatever choice you make....
And I do hope none of these pill...cuz that is such a no go for me.

I purchased the new super ponte leggings and will be returning them. Louis must have designed and patterned this fall collection with his tall ladies in mind. The fabric is wonderful, but they are too long in the rise, too loose in the waist, and too long in the inseam for me. I am 5'5" tall, wear a size 4 or 6 in skirts, usually a 6 in trousers, and I purchased the XS.

I received the legging in both colors in the xs and they are perfect for me. Mine aren't loose anywhere. They hug my body the way a legging should. I am sure the higher rayon content and the weight of the fabric is the reason these are more expensive. The minute I took them out of the bag I knew these were a superior quality. I think since Favorite Son is a 4/6, she would have had better success with the xxs. I could have worn the xxs also, but I'm happy with the xs. I consider these spanx for the legs!
