Should I buy this zipped hoodie?

I keep looking at this AllSaints hoodie

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?!

I really like it. I probably wouldn't spend that much on a hoodie but if it lasts it could be good value, it would certainly go with a lot of things.

Won't allsaints models be pretty tall though? I imagine they use catwalk type rather than catalogue?! So the clothes will fit a longer body where one from primark or H&M might not

I like almost all of it, but the back looks too swingy- I feel like it would be too drafty. I am always cold though!

She looks it @midnightstar66. I’m 5’8” so I am not short but I have a disproportionately long back for my height. That hoody would come nowhere near where it falls on the model on me, it would be far more cropped and “pineappley”. As for actual crop top - they are little more than bras on me!

We must live very different lives if £90 on a hoodie is the norm OP - not a criticism, bloomin lucky you! Grin

I don't think it's anything special and All Saints is pretty naff, the only place I've ever had anyone singing their praises is mumsnet, wherein it seems to be biblical that an All Saints leather jacket is a must buy 'investment' item. I have one (a birthday gift about 8 years ago) it's alright, I rarely wear it as I think they too have had their day by some years.

If you like it, get it.
