18 BUYING AND MERCHANDISING BUYING AND MERCHANDISING ICONIC GARMENTS Allsaints are extremely well known for their leathers, due to the high quality of them and the many different styles and shapes, such as the leather biker jacket and leather bomber jacket. On the Allsaints website they have a category just for leather jackets alone. Allsaints are also well known for their chunky knitwear in jumpers and dresses. Allsaints knitwear is usually dark and fits the whole aesthetic, and considers minimal detailing. Figure 34 Figure 30 Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 Figure 35 Allsaints shirt dresses are also iconic as the detailing is minimal and considered. The patterns are designed in house, making them exclusive to Allsaints. A manager in the Allsaints Birmingham store said that shirt dresses are always an Allsaints must have and come in with a new season flare every few months. Figure 36 Figure 37 19
