'I've been eyeing AllSaints' £340 'buttery soft' real leather jacket for months - now it's on sale'
by Rachel Pugh · Manchester Evening NewsNo matter what your style, owning a good leather jacket that can stand the test of time is a must. The leather jacket is a universal wardrobe staple, almost guaranteed to never go out of style, and can be thrown over a multitude of different dresses, as well as 'jeans and a nice top' combinations - whether you want to dress it up or down.
That said, as a fashion editor, I always tell everyone it's worth investing in a high-quality leather jacket where you can, as one that lasts for years can save you a lot of money. But real leather jackets don't come cheap, least not from AllSaints - the brand I consider the 'go to' for investment pieces I know I'll be wearing for years to come.
Luckily, AllSaints has just launched its 'biggest ever' Black Friday sale, with 30% off everything sitewide here. Browsing the AllSaints Black Friday sale, I couldn't help but notice that the Balfern Leather Biker Jacket, which I've been eyeing up for months, has seen an eye-watering reduction of over £100.

The Balfern Leather Biker Jacket is an iconic style made from butter-soft leather, that shapes to your body after each wear. The waist belt and metal hardware add to the classic aesthetic.
The best bit? It goes with everything, day or night. Its 'buttery soft' feel, combined with its real leather fabric, and stylish design, easily tick every box for me when it comes to biker jacket.
I'm not the only fashion-conscious shopper in awe of AllSaints' Balfern Leather Biker Jacket. It's been given a perfect five-star rating from those who have bought it, and has been hailed for its exceptional and long-lasting construction.
One impressed AllSaints shopper gave the jacket five stars, writing: "Amazing quality! The leather is buttery soft, gold zippers and snaps are beautiful. I will have this for life, a timeless classic!"
A second said: "Gorgeous design, top tier materials! I completely love the fit!"

"I have wanted a Balfern for years but live in a very warm climate. I absolutely love this jacket. I bought a size 8 so I can wear a sweater underneath and that was a good call because it is still tailored looking. I am hard to please so if you have been holding out just know you wont regret this purchase," penned a third.
A fourth said: "Gorgeous. The leather is so soft and the fit is perfect." While the final five-star review on site read: "I absolutely love this jacket. The leather is buttery smooth and it’s the perfect length for me (I wanted an oversized but tailored look). The hardware is beautiful and it can be dressed up or dressed down."
If £237.30 is a little too steep for you, there are other leather jacket bargains to be had elsewhere in the Black Friday sales. AllSaints' Dalby Slim Fit Faux Biker Jacket is £174.30, down from £249.
