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/

Mine arrived
It's a good fit 10- Im a 10-12 but 32g boobs. So it's tight done up.
It's also pretty short (on waistband - Ive got a long body though)
So soft and lovely leather
Im keeping it.

How snug is it supposed to be? Mine arrived today, I can do it up but its so tight. It looks nice undone though. Will it stretch at all as I can’t hold my tummy in for long

You were right PNGirl, I've just had the dispatch confirmation now. It's a good thing it was delayed a few days as I'm away at the moment anyway so hopefully I'll be back when it arrives.

Am nervous to see whether it fits or not as the reviews on sizing seem a bit mixed. I guess it's a question of taste as with anything.

I'm kicking myself that a) I didn't go through Quidco for 10% off and b) I didn't activate the 10% offer on my Santander 123 card to pay for it!! £152 is still brilliant but for anyone else reading who uses quidco and has a Santander 123 card, take note!

Picked it up this afternoon and I love it! A little bit snug but that's not unexpected after Christmas so between a bit of stretch and a couple of weeks of low carb bootcamp it should be perfect.

Thanks OP!

My size 10 was delivered today. Grrr....I feel I'm a size 9 in this jacket! I wish I could predict how much it will stretch as the 8 is tight under the arms, across my boobs and feels quite short but is perfect on my arms. I've got skinny arms (not a stealth boast)
The 10 fits perfectly on my body, is a good length but the arms are a bit too baggy. I think I'm going to keep the 10 and return the 8. But I may change my mind tomorrow 😀😀

Mine is quite tight when all fastened up but is perfect everywhere and looks great open. I think they say you should keep the smallest you can fit into as it is lambs leather and will stretch. No idea if this is actually the case. I think you can also help it along by wearing a thick jumper under it in the house. I looked at this on you tube - might help:

My 10 and 12 arrived today. I'd definitely consider myself a 12 in clothing and only ordered the 10 as people and AS say size down due to natural stretching but the 12 came up quite loose on me. The 10 fits just fine. I hope it doesn't stretch too much then.

Did anyone else find they come up big?

Also did anyone else's jacket come with no tags on? They had run out of online stock so it was sent from a store but makes me wonder if it was worn and then returned and then sent out to me which I don't like.

Mine arrived with tags.

Mine is neat but then i am a 32E so its tight across the bust but not in the arms/shoulders. There is no way i could have fitted into a 10. It would have looked ridiculous. I wonder if there are differences in sizes like a big 12 and a little 12.

I noticed when I was last in store that there were lots of tags on the floor, so that could be why yours arrived without one user? Tried on a jacket and the tag fell off!

Mine came today. It’s beautiful and I’m absolute,y delighted. It would have been worth it at full price, but at the sale price it’s a real treat.

Mine came yesterday - very pleased with it. It’s so soft! Got a size 12 and it’s just fine- can’t think it will stretch that much ?

It really depends. If it's already a normal to loose-ish fit it's unlikely to stretch in my experience. I'm a 12-14 and bought a 14 for boobs/arm space for thick jumpers underneath, but I'm a 12 in the more fitted Cargo style.

If you sized down and/or wear it done up then it will probably stretch.

Tried mine on some more yest, decided I love it now! Such a bargain!

I’ve got the 12 (normally 10) and it fits well, not going to worry about stretching . Thanks again for tip off op!

Well wore mine today. Felt great and to warn others that i read on the label to avoid rain as colour may transfer. Got caught in the rain and noticed when i took it off my neck was blue up one side! Just incase anybody is wearing something light with it. I have no idea how this happened as I was wearing a scarf with it but I have worn my scarf before and there is no way I could see that it could transfer from that. I hope that the colour transfer stops!

Mine arrived today! Also no label but it's beautiful 😍

Mine was waiting when I got home from work - it's a lovely jacket, beautifully soft leather. In fact so soft I'm worried that rain will damage it, I do hope not. The twelve fits perfectly (lovely long sleeves, which helps as I'm 5'9"), only criticism is it's a wee bit shorter in the body than I would like, but it's certainly liveable with. Will try it with a few outfits before I make my final decision, but I'm thinking I'll keep it .

I love mine, as others have said, don’t like the length but I’ll work with it :)
It gives a nice shape done up a bit.
Absolute bargain.
All Saints need to give the OP a freebie.

What sort of waterproofer would be good do we think?
Like a Shoe waterproof spray?

rollerbird I would use Colonil waterstop spray, I've used it on my best leather handbags and it works a treat.

Thank you so much OP. I bought a 12 and love it, although I need to try it with a few outfits. I'm hoping I don't need a 10 for the first time in my life as there aren't any left. I'm 5'3" so it's the perfect length. I was worried it would be too short.

It would be lovely to see how everyone is styling their jackets just to get an idea of what to wear with it.

I had mine with jeans on and my hush charcoal/blue star jumper and hush Hereford ankle boots [ my favourite EVER boots] and a blue ombre scarf from next. That was yesterday :)

Oh I had black jeans on!

I tried mine on this morning. I ordered a 12, it's a little tight but hoping to lose a few quite a few pounds. Will try on again next week before deciding whether it's a keeper. I have the funny feeling that it will be. Thank you OP for starting this thread.
