I write a round-up of the best men’s sales weekly, and I’ll be honest: when I added in this AllSaints jacket I didn’t know if anyone would bite… how wrong I was. You lot love this wild, wild Western thing. So much so, I figured it ought to have its own momen in the High Noon sun.
A tasselled beauty, the AllSaints ‘Warren’ is just about the cheapest (premium, FYI) suede you’re likely to see this year — at £224, that’s around 50 per cent off from it’s original £449. Given a boxy, squared-off silhouette, this is a modernised take on the Western jacket made famous by the Hollywood cowboy, but with a tasselled trim that’ll make you want to gesticulate and twirl all over the place. Simply put, it’s elegant, but it’s a statement… and you’re unlikely to find tassels this tasteful anywhere else. Or, ever.
So, yeah, I get it. I get why this pick has sold so popularly in our sales guide, and I get why you can’t keep your hands/laptop track pads off of it; wearing tassels should feel ridiculous, but AllSaints makes them feel quintessential. That said, if you’re still feeling some trepidation on how exactly to tipe this bad boy, I’ve put together a few options for you. Scroll on, and see what sticks.
Styling option 1: ‘Off-duty sheriff’
Introducing the gorpcore sheriff; Broadway market is his saloon, and he’s ready to draw his weapon (an iced Americano) at any moment. Add a neckerchief tie for bonus points.
Styling option 2: ‘All black everything’
The ol’ faithful. You can hardly go wrong when you put your faith in black. Silhouette wise, keep things loose and boxy – think wide-legs and cropped hems.
Styling option 3: ‘Smart-casual cowboy’
In true AllSaints style, you could go for slick and smart-casual. Giving ‘working from saloon’ vibes, this styling option depends on formalwear codes with casual edge: think a white shirt but oversized, leather shoes but not lace-ups. That’s the ticket.
