Are All Saints leather jackets really worth It?

I am tempted. But 380 quid?! What makes them different/better to cheaper jackets. By cheaper I mean in the 100-150 range. I want a really good quality coat that'll last.

I have the Balfern, and the leather is soft. It sort of sits on my hips.
I have bikers from Whistles and Hush, and I would say the Balfern has the softest leather, but that may be because I have worn it the most. It isn't delicate though, and is definitely not thin, the leather is gorgeous.

I'm also hoping to get one but could not quite catch a good deal. Oh shows no sign of getting this as birthday present though he knows I love leather jackets. Oh well!

It's been interesting reading this thread as I've been toying around with getting the AllSaints Conroy or the Whistles Agnes or a Zara leather jacket. Have not tried any of them on so I probably need to just get to the shops and be done with it.
The Zara one is £99 vs approx £250 for the others (after Black Friday discount) so it's difficult for me to justify the cost although I do believe in spending good money on investment pieces.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the Zara vs AllSaints/Whistles please?

I’ve just brought my first All Saints jacket (Baldwin) after reading this thread a couple of months ago.

30% off (Black Friday)+ 8% on Quidco at the moment for those wondering, so works out about £205 - Still my most expensive purchase in my wardrobe though!!

Bovneydazzlers · 23/11/2017 19:38

Baldwin?! That would sell well. I meant Balfern.

Was also considering the Hush biker jacket but it looks a little cropped to me.

Is the All Saints Balfern comparable to the leather jackets of Zara, Mango etc?

HolgerDanske · 24/12/2017 14:54

All Saints are much better than mango level. Mango are good value for leather and for finding trendy colours etc but they’re not particularly well made.

HolgerDanske · 24/12/2017 14:56

Ime all saints is a big step up in quality of leather.

LadyLance · 24/12/2017 15:02

I haven't read the thread yet but I wanted to reply as my all saints leather jacket is my favourite piece in my wardrobe. It cost me about £250 three years ago, and it's the most I've ever spent on a single item of clothing but so worth it.

Compared to other leather jackets it's so light and easy to wear. I've got a biker style which fits perfectly and is very flattering. Once I'd tried it on, I couldn't leave the shop without buying. The quality is so good, I haven't looked after it at all but after 3 years it's still in amazing condition.

If you wear leather jackets a lot I do think it's worth the investment!

How is All Saints' quality compared to BLK DNM?

I have BLK DNM leather jackets that I hope to fit into come winter (I'm in Aus). But I am really tempted to get the Balfern.

Love mine. Wear it to death as it goes with everything.
