All Saint bales biker reduced to £152

[ilovethepug]

Only my second ever post but just nabbed this bargain and thought I would share

www.allsaints.com/women/leather/allsaints-bales-biker/

I had notification that mine was due to be delivered by dpd today between 1 and 3 but I'm away until Sunday so have had to reschedule it and the next available date was Wednesday. So I will have to sit tight but hopefully some of you should have yours by now or be receiving them very soon.

I’ve ordered a size 12 - have been coveting one for a while now so thanks for the heads up about this reduction! amazingly all sizes were sold out apart from 10 and 12 - those are normally the first sizes to sell out! I went for 12 over 10 because although everyone seems to be saying size up, I am envisaging wearing it over a layer or two, and also, slightly too big is always better than slightly too small

Sorry I meant to say - although everybody says size DOWN

Oh sorry did I mean size up after all - I’be confused myself

Thank you ilovethepug, I've been eyeing up this jacket for a long time. I'm in Dublin and the size 8 was sold out online. Jacket was €206 on the All Saints website so I rang House of Fraser and they were adamant that the jacket was €258 in store so I rang Arnotts (another department store) and they had it at €206 and put one by for me. Ran in and got it and now I'm wondering if I should have got the 6. Jacket fits everywhere but a little tight on the upper arms so I'm worried it will stretch too much. So I rang arnotts again and they've put the 6 on hold for me so I've to go back in tomorrow morning!

@cessie322 - I'm in Dublin until tomorrow. Greetings from D15!

Thanks for the John Lewis tip off @Brillenbar.

Have ordered the 10. Hope it’s ok size wise. I’ve been waiting to buy one of these for months! Just couldn’t justify the full price.

Just read this aaargh! Size 14 OOS now :(

Greetings clickncollect! Hope you enjoyed the stay 😃

Mine's arrived! And I think I love it. Only thing is the funnel neck is a bit creased so isn't lying as flat as I'd like. I think needs to 'relax' a bit and then it'll be perfect. I was a bit concerned the sleeves wouldn't be long enough as I'm 5'9 with stupidly long arms, but they're a perfect length.

Mine's arrived too. I was secretly hoping I'd be one of the few people who doesn't actually like the All Saints jackets (could do with the refund!) but I think I might love it. I would have liked the sleeves to be a tiny bit longer and I don't really like the look of the zip when its done up (only going to wear it open anyway) but otherwise it's soo nice.

Yes, I was hoping I wouldn't like it, but it's lovely.

Oh how exciting! I can't wait to get mine.
Even though I said upthread thatbid arrabged for redelivery when I'm home, I've had notification it's with my neighbour so I'll have it when I get home tonight.
I really want to love it so I hope it fits the bill.

I sized up to a 12 (take a 10 on top normally) as they'd sold out of the 10. Do they really stretch that much?

Mine hasn’t been despatched or anything

My 10 was supposed to arrive yesterday morning then DPD said the delivery was delayed till Wed.
However, someone buzzed early on Saturday, I was too sleepy too answer, so I've no idea if it was that or not.
I'm sure everyones will turn up eventually.

12 also scheduled to arrive Wed.

Have also gone for a 12 in the bales. I’m normally a 10 but quite often need to size up in tight fitting coats / cardies so hoping this will be the same-such a bargain!

OK just had a response from AS.
As follows:

Hi X,

Thank you for getting in touch.

We do recommend sizing down for our leather jackets as the leather will naturally stretch as it smooths over a couple of wears.

Regards,
X

GUTTED I missed this as bought one just before Xmas SOB. If anyone is planning on returning a size 6 would they mind letting me know? TIA

Mine has arrived from John Lewis - I love it! The leather is so soft.

Eek..just ordered from John Lewis...very out of character to order without trying on first. The reviews are just so good and JL is brilliant with returns if needed. Rather suspect it will quickly become a wardrobe favourite.

Size down! I’m a size 6-8 and went with the 4. Gutted I paid full price considering the price now

I was dithering on this as I have the Hush Onyx in black already/ Fate intervened and all 12s sold out (I am 32G on top so would need the 12). I might keep an eye out for returns while I convince myself I will get enough wear out of two black biker jackets :D

Tbh, i find the 12 neat and I am a 32E on top. My chest is squashed with it done up but not really planning to wear it that way unless its an emergency. No idea how people can size down in this. There is no way i could have fitted the 10. It may be my body shape though.
Miffy, do you wear the hush one a lot? I loved it in grey but it was very cropped and had ordered the 10 because reviews said to go down a size. I definitetly would have needed the 12. The grey was gorgeous.

Miffy, not to enable you or anything but John Lewis seems to still have 12s!
