would this be a good buy ?

[thriftychic]

i have been saving for a leather jacket and like this one www.allsaints.com/women/leathers/allsaints-marsh-leather-biker-jacket/?colour=1666&category=25
seems a hell of a lot of money to me but have never bought a leather jacket before!

are they likely to have a sale soon ?
are there nicer ones somewhere cheaper ?

help , what shall i do !!!?

It's gorgeous! I've never bought one before either but it does seem a bit pricey compared to what my budget would be

It's sold out in some sizes so not sure it would make it into the sale if there was one?

It's nice but very dear. I am certain I'd want a good touch and smell and try on for that price though. Would you be buying online?
I too doubt it will make it to sale. Saying that, my lipsy pleather jacket (that noone will believe is not leather) only cost me ?45 in the sale. I wear it almost non stop from late Sept to mid April and on every single night out I go on, pleather goes with everthing :)

well, i think all saints really bumped up their prices in the last couple of years, and it is only when things are in the sale that they seem reasonable. given that the summer sales will be starting everywhere soon, might be worth holding off- maybe check your local branch to see if it is in (plentiful) stock.

one thing to note about online ordering is that it can't be returned to the stores, so you have to pay for the return yourself.

I got a nice one from oasis last year very similar to that, think it was £150 or so and I used a 20% discount code. Can't wear it now mind as carrying a stone of baby weight.

hmm ye £150 is more like it . i would have to order online and post back if it didnt fit as there isnt a shop near me.
how are allsaints sizes , do they come up small?
the other colours are available in all sizes , maybe the brick might be nice ?
but the price! pah

I'd say stay away from AllSaints- over priced and poor quality. I have had to return numerous items and that shop is a waist of time.
I too got a lovely leather jacket in Oasis with a discount code so got 20% off £150!

It's nice but agree it's over-priced. I also got mine from Oasis - it was a hundred pounds in the sale and has been worth every penny and more so far.

French Connection and Mint Velvet often have nice ones too - much cheaper than All Saints.

Love this one

Have tried on. Avoid if you actually have breasts.

they both look nice remus , undecided on colour though. i always wear dark jeans / trousers and want to make sure the jacket looks good for all seasons so am wondering if the overall look would be a tad dark for spring / supposedtobesummer ???
cinder , breasts? i wish lol

Hey what size are you, might be willing to sell my Oasis one in tan, think its a 10 but I am around 14 6 months after having twins so can't see me getting back in it this year!

whats it like ceevee ?

Same style as the oasis one linked above but in tan. In good condition, probably worn about 15 times. Will pm you a photo when I get home this afternoon.

If thriftychic is not interested will you pm a pic to me too. Thanks! :)

Sure thing tug

I have lots of leather jackets that I wear all year round. My All Saints one has aged well. Sizing is on the large size. My Mint Velvet leather jkt is beautiful leather but I had it professionally cleaned & colour's faded a fair bit. Still love it though. Massimo Dutti do lovely leather jackets. I have a red one and it's so soft. Zara are good too imo. I size down always in leather jackets as they stretch a bit & imo should be quite fitted.

Massimo Dutti sale starts tmrw am.

thanks monkeysmama
