Boden question-buy now or wait?

I'm eyeing a few things on the Boden website but don't know if I should order them now or if I can wait a month? It won't be nearly cool enough for me to wear these things for another 6 weeks or so at the most, and it pains me to have lovely Autumn clothes hang in my closet when the weather is still too warm to wear them. But, if I wait, I'm afraid they'll be out of stock on my size/color, etc. Does Boden keep a good stock of their items, or should I just jump in and buy them? Also, I've read on this forum that Boden tends to have good sales. Currently, I have a 15% off offer from them which is valid until the end of October. Will I find a better deal than that?

The items in question:

Biker jacket. I'm considering the green, although maybe one of the other colors would be more versatile.

Stretch boots. I'd get brown, but have questions on if they will slouch or not (I don't want them to).

Generally Boden runs out of stock on most items before the end of the season, which then need to be re-ordered. The process of re-stocking often takes around 2 months. You could wait, but if the items you want run out, you may be waiting for them into November.

Occasionally there will be a very random 25% discount on a single item in the catalog. I wouldn't count on either of the items you want being chosen for this special discount. Other than that, 15% is the most they ever give.

I second Maya, they do seem to run out of popular items. I don't think they'll have any better deals until their winter sale (Dec?) but options are usually limited by then.

Thanks Maya and marianne, that's exactly the information I needed. I doubt I'll take my chances; if I decide these things are right for me, I'll just place my order and let them taunt me until the cool weather comes around, lol.
