Should I buy this zipped hoodie?

I keep looking at this AllSaints hoodie

www.johnlewis.com/allsaints-jessi-biker-hoodie/smoke-grey/p4919256

It's more than I'd usually spend. I've never bought from AllSaints before, so not sure of the sizing. Did a bit of research, which suggested sizing can be a quite random. I'd need to order direct as JL is out of medium. I love the shade of grey and like that it's not sporty.

Any thoughts?!

Oh I love it! Just sad that All Saints think that a L is a 14😬😬

I prefer the Sidola.

The sidolha is nice too, but I'm looking for a zipped one. And I think the Jessi would be a more flattering shade of grey on me. Mainly concerned about the fit / sizing. I have a long body and short arms, so I don't think I'm AllSaints' key demographic Grin

If you have the money to spend then go for it but personally I think that is hugely overpriced even in the sale! Would never spend more than £40 max on a hoodie. But that’s just me...!

90 quid for something that looks like a primark one that got faded and shrunk in the wash 😳
I think you'd find much nicer for less money

I really like it. If you can afford it why not treat yourself? But they have this one in their outlet

Thanks @sooverthemill. Sadly khaki isn't a great colour on me.

I am tempted by the one I linked to... but I do think it's overpriced. I'd usually spend no more than £50 / £60 on any sort of sweatshirt thing.

It's ok but £89 is a lot of money for something with no label maybe?
I spent just under £50 on my Superdry hoody, the logo isn't plastered on it either but it is visible.
On a hoody with no label I would never spend more than £25.
I think it depends on whether the money is a lot to you or not & whether it's going to be good quality.
I mean my Superdry hoody never shrinks in the wash but neither does my Gap outlet hoody which was only £19?

Ooh thanks to the PP who called out the outlet section. I couldn't find the hoody that was linked but picked up a very nice casual jacket - cheers!

I'm sorry but that looks like a Primarni offering.

I have an AllSaints hoodie I've had for three years and it still looks like new. I like it and would get the ivory version.

I think it's awful!!! Sorry op!

I've held off buying it. I'm surprised it's elicited such strong reactions in some posters though. It's just a slightly stylised grey hoodie!

Everything I’ve had from all saints has lasted really well. I like it @bobbletrouble. If you can afford it, go for it. It looks like it could be a wardrobe staple for years to come.

Or wait for the sale!

What? Even the sale price is outrageous? What's it made of?
Probably the same stuff as in Primark, just different label.
My first thought was it looks like something from Primark 🤷
Nobody will say 'Oh wow love you're hoodie!'
Is this a joke post?
Unless you're loaded then that's like a week's food shop on one thing.

It's nice and I love All Saints clothes but I think you could get similar from H&M. I think their dresses and knitwear are more worth splashing out on

If you like it and think you’ll wear it

I was posting because I've never ordered from AllSaints before, and I was unsure about the sizing and quality. I agree it's expensive for what it is, but it's all relative and I'm lucky to be able to pay £90 for a hoodie if I like it enough.

Thanks @toominty - that's useful advice re what's worth spending money on - as I said, not bought from AllSaints before.

No, I wouldn’t but it’s your money. I absolutely would not spend £90 on a hoody

I have a jumper dress that was £180 but I wear it loads for work and it washes well so £ per wear is good. Also a cardigan that just hangs really well. But I looked at similar hoodies then went for a H&M one instead - £20 instead of £100 and I love it.
